Sometimes you may wish to play in a lower or higher pitch range. For example, you may want to shift the
pitch down to get extra bass notes, or up to get higher notes for leads and solos. The OCTAVE [UP] /
[DOWN] buttons let you do this quickly and easily.
Each time you press the OCTAVE [UP] button on the panel, the overall pitch of the voice goes up by one
octave. Press the OCTAVE [DOWN] button to shift the keyboard pitch down one octave. The range is from
-1 to +1, with 0 being standard pitch.
When the octave is shifted up the OCTAVE [UP] button indicator lights, and when shifted down the
OCTAVE [DOWN] button indicator lights.
You can instantly restore standard pitch (0) by simultaneously pressing both the OCTAVE [UP] and
[DOWN] buttons (both indicators go out).
