Key Touch/Key Transpose
1.
On the Utility Menu screen, press <√√PAGE> or
<PAGE®®> to select the following display page.
■ Key Touch (velocity sensitivity)
Except for the fact that there are five options here, this
function does the same as “Key Touch (velocity sensi-
tivity)” on page 42.
2.
Use the buttons on the left of the display to set the
Key Touch.
For “Light”, “Medium”, and “Heavy”, see page 42.
Super Light— Playing fortissimo doesn’t require
much strength.
Fixed— This setting means that all notes are sounded
with the same volume and timbre.
■ Transpose
If you are used to playing a song in a particular key,
the Transpose function will allow you to keep playing
in that key while sounding in another one. Doing so
will allow you to accommodate the singer or musician
you play with or to play to a Standard MIDI File back-
ing that was recorded in a key other than the one you
normally choose.
This function has the same effect as using the TRANS-
POSE buttons, only here you see the value you set.
3.
Use the buttons to the right of the display to select
the amount of transposition.
Your setting (–12~0~12) appears on the display. The
key changes in semitone steps.
Example: When you select “2”.
Note: Key Transpose affects the entire keyboard and also the
chords sent to the Arranger.
Note: You can also set the desired transposition interval
with the TRANSPOSE [+] and [–] buttons. Press these but-
tons simultaneously to return to normal pitch (no
transposition).
