TRANSPOSE
This feature allows you to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard, so that you
can continue to play in a signature that you are comfortable with while at the
same time “transposing” to match the key of a singer or of another instru-
ment. You can set the transposition in semitone increments. If you set it to 5,
for example, then each keyboard C will produce the sound of F, and any song
played in key of C will be produced in key of F.
Procedure
Hold down [TRANSPOSE] and
press [-/NO] or [+/YES] to set the
transposition interval, in semitone
increments. You can set to any
value from -12 to +12; the default
setting is 0.
CLP-811/611 Selecting and Playing Voices
DUAL Mode (Mixing two voices together)
This feature selects simultaneous play of any two voices. You can combine dissimilar voices for a duet-
like sound, or try working with similar voices to create a complex, layered type of sound.

DUAL or SPLIT...
It is not possible to use the DUAL
and SPLIT features at the same
time.
Handling of VARIATION
The current VARIATION setting
for each voice remains in effect
when you first enter DUAL mode;
the VARIATION indicator will be
lit if VARIATION is selected for
either or both voices. Once you
have entered the mode, each
press of [VARIATION] switches
variation ON or OFF for both
voices together. If you need to
set variation ON for one voice
only, you must do so before
entering DUAL mode.
Transposition settings...
-12: Down by twelve semitones
(one octave)
0: No transposition; notes
produce their standard pitch
+12: Up by twelve semitones
(one octave)
High and low pitch limitations
The CLP-811/611 does not
produce pitches above C7 (the
highest note on an 88-key
keyboard) or below A-1 (the
lowest note). If you transpose up
by
n
semitones, the highest
n
keys on the keyboard are
automatically sounded one octave
lower than the expected tone. If
you transpose down, the lowest
keys are automatically raised.
