VOICE PLAY MODE
Transpose
The P-150 has a multi-faceted transpose feature that lets you transpose the pitch
at the touch of a button while you play.
The P-150 has four independent transpose paths, which let you set transpose
values for the internal main voice as well as the sub voice, and which also let you
set transpose values for the MIDI main and sub voices which will affect external
devices.
Transpose is particularly useful in the Dual and Split modes. In the Dual mode, for
example, you can play two different voices at the same time, each having a
different pitch.
The P-150s default main voice transpose setting is 12, which means the pitch will
transpose up one octave when you press the [TRANSPOSE] button. The default
sub voice transpose amounts are set to 0 for Dual and Split modes.
USING THE TRANSPOSE FEATURE
1.
Press the [TRANSPOSE] button to transpose the pitch of the keyboard.
The LED above the [TRANSPOSE] button lights and the TRANSPOSE screen with current transpose value appears.
Depending on the current status and mode, the TRANSPOSE screen will be
different. For example, if the P-150 is in Split mode and the MIDI transmit
switch is enabled, the screen will display internal and MIDI main and sub
voice transposition values.
