Transposing songs in the ‘Playlist’ environment
This function allows you to change the key of songs
contained in your playlist.
NOTE
The transposition interval you select in this way is not stored
in the referenced song file, allowing you to use a different
transposition setting in another playlist if necessary.
1.
See “Loading a playlist and playing back a
song” on p. 36.
2.
If necessary, press the [PLAYLIST] button to
call up the list of songs the selected playlist
refers to.
The field to the left of each song name indicates the
current transposition interval. The value “0” means
that the song in question will not be transposed dur-
ing playlist playback.

the playlist step you want to transpose (“A
Lessie.MID” in our example.)

Press the [KEY] button.
The transposition interval field is highlighted to indi-
cate that you can change it.
5.
Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to change
the transposition interval (–6~+5 semi-
tones).
NOTE
You can even change the “Key” setting of a playlist step
while another song is being played back without affecting
that other song.
6.
Press the [KEY] button again to deactivate
the transposition interval field.

desire to save the playlist.
The display returns to the list of available playlists.
If the USB memory already contains a playlist file of

dial to replace the old file with the new one (the old
file will be lost).
Otherwise, select “NO” to return to the “Save Playlist”
page and enter a different name.
