Performing with the Keyboard
You can transpose performances without changing the keys you are playing, as well
as change the pitch by an octave. This feature is called “Transpose.”
This is a convenient feature to use when you want to match the pitch of the keyboard
performance to a vocalist’s pitch, or perform using the printed music for trumpets or
other transposed instruments.
The reference Transpose setting is C4, and the setting can be adjusted in semitone
units in a range of -48-0- +48.

Hold down [TRANSPOSE] and press a key.
For example, to have “E” sound when you play “C” on the keyboard, hold down
[TRANSPOSE] and press the E4 key. The degree of transposition then becomes “+4.”
When you release [TRANSPOSE], the previous display will reappear.
When the amount of transposition is set, the Transpose function switches on, and
[TRANSPOSE] lights up.

To turn off Transpose, press [TRANSPOSE] so that its indicator goes off.
The next time [TRANSPOSE] is pressed, the sound is transposed by an amount
corresponding to the value set here.

Transpose settings for each
