Transpose and Tuning

170 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-172/170 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.
