Transposition
ZSimultaneously press and hold the A-1 and C#0 keys.
XPress any key between F#2 and F#3 according to the desired
amount of transposition.*
CRelease the A-1 and C#0 keys.
The A-1 and C#0 keys plus keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition.
The Clavinovas TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of
the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six
semitones. Transposing the pitch of the Clavinova keyboard facilitates playing
in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to
the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.
* Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the
key to the left of C3 (=B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard
down a semitone, the next key to the left (=Bb2) transposes down a
whole tone (two semitones), etc., down to the F#2 key which
transposes down 6 semitones. Upward transposition is accom-
plished in the same way using the keys to the right of C3, up to F#3
which transposes up 6 semitones.
