Playing
“Transpose” is a function that lets you shift the pitch without changing the
fingering with which you play the keyboard.
For example, if a song is in a difficult key that contains numerous sharps ( ) or
flats ( ), using the Transpose function will let you play the song in an easier key.
If you’re accompanying a singer, you can easily transpose to a key that’s
comfortable for their voice while keeping the same keyboard fingering (i.e.,
while playing the music as written).

Use the [+] [–] buttons to specify the key to which you want to transpose.
Each time you press the [+] or [–] button, the pitch of the keyboard will change
by one semitone.
By pressing both the [+] [–] buttons simultaneously, you can return the
transposition to its original setting (0).
* If you switch songs, the transpose setting will return to “0.”
Example:
The song is written in E major, but you want to play it using C-scale fingering
This setting is relative to the root (C) of the C-scale. Since E is four chromatic
steps above C, you’ll set the transpose setting to “4.”

With a setting of “0,” the Transpose feature is cancelled.
The RG-1F/RG-3F lets you
choose how you want to
transpose; you can transpose
just the keyboard, both the
keyboard and the song
together, or just the song.
With the factory settings,
both the keyboard and the
song will be transposed (p.
69). If you change this setting
so that only the song is
transposed, the Transpose
function will not apply to the
keyboard.
