Transposing the Key of the Keyboard (TRANSPOSE)
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.
You can adjust the transpose setting in semitone steps over a range of -48–0–+48 relative to C4.
NOTE
Note messages from MIDI IN connector will not be transposed.
