Transpose and Tuning
You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the PSR-260
with the Transpose and Tuning functions.

Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompa-
niment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the
Multi Pads. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PSR-260 to other
instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your fingering.
The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1
octave).
1 Select the Transpose function in the Overall menu.
Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until “TRANSPOS”
appears in the display.
2 Change the value.
Use the numeric keypad to set the desired Transpose value (-12 - +12). To
transpose the pitch down, simultaneously press the [-] button and use the
numeric keypad to type in the (negative) value. You can also use the [+]/[-]
buttons to increase or decrease the value. Holding down either button con-
tinuously increases or decreases the value.

Tuning determines the fine pitch setting of both the main voice and the bass/chord
accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and
the Multi Pads. This allows you to accurately match the tuning with that of other
instruments. The Tuning settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 50 (approx. ±
0.5 semitones).
1 Select the Tuning function in the Overall menu.
Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until “TUNING”
appears in the display.
