Transposing the Keyboard

Transpose lets you raise and lower the overall key of the
keyboard in semitone units. If you want to play an
accompaniment for a vocalist who sings in a key that’s
different from the keyboard, for example, simply use
transpose to change the key of the keyboard.

To transpose the keyboard

1

Press the RHYTHM button to enter the Rhythm
Mode.

• Note that you cannot transpose the keyboard while

in the Song Bank Mode or Piano Bank Mode.

2

Use the KEY CONTROL/TRANSPOSE buttons ( /

) to change the key of the keyboard.

: Raises the key by one semitone
: Lowers the key by one semitone

Example: To transpose the keyboard five semitones

upwards.

NOTE

• The keyboard can be transposed within a range of –12

(one octave downwards) to +12 (one octave upwards).

• The default transpose setting is “00” when keyboard

power is turned on.

• If you leave the transpose screen on the display for about

five seconds without doing anything, the screen is
automatically cleared.

• The transpose setting also affects playback from memory

and Auto Accompaniment.

• To return the keyboard to its default key, perform the

above procedure and press both of the KEY CONTROL/
TRANSPOSE buttons ( and ) at the same time in
step 2. You could also use the [+] and [–] buttons to
change the transpose setting to “00”.

T r a n s .

• The effect of a transpose operation depends on the pitch

of each note and on the tone you are currently using. If
a transpose operation causes a note to be outside of
the allowable range for a tone, the same note in the
nearest octave within the range will be substituted.

Using Touch Response

When touch response is turned on, the relative volume of
sound output by the keyboard is varied in accordance with
the amount of pressure applied, just like an acoustic piano.

Touch response provides a choice of three settings, described
below.

OFF:

This setting turns off touch response. Keyboard pressure
does not have any affect on the output notes.

1:

This setting provides touch response that is suited for
normal play.

2:

This setting increases touch response, so stronger keyboard
pressure has a greater effect than the “1” setting.

1

Press the SETTING button until the TOUCH
RESPONSE SELECT screen appears.

2

Use the [+] and [–] or [0] and [1] buttons to change
the setting.

Example: To select touch response 2.

• Touch response is on when touch response indicator

is on.

• Touch response is off when touch response indicator

is off.
