The Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in
semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the
pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the
transposition amount to “+5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a song as
though it were in C major, and the H01 will transpose it to the key of F.
Setting the amount of transposition
While holding down the [BGM] and [VOICE] buttons, press one of the F#2–F#3
keys to set the desired amount of transposition.
To transpose the pitch down (in semitone steps)
While holding down the [BGM] and [VOICE] buttons, press any key between
F#2 and B2.
To transpose the pitch up (in semitone steps)
While holding down the [BGM] and [VOICE] buttons, press any key between
C#3 and F#3.
To restore the normal pitch
While holding down the [BGM] and [VOICE] buttons, press the C3 key.
Fine tuning of the Pitch
You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument. This function is useful when you play the
instrument along with other instruments or CD music.
