Keyboard Settings 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 TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button. • This causes the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION indicator (the FUNCTION indicator on the WK-8000) to appear on the display. Trans . 2 Use [+] and [-] to change the transpose setting of the keyboard. Example: To transpose the keyboard five semitones upwards. Trans . • Pressing the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button exits the transpose screen. NOTE • The keyboard can be transposed within a range of -24 (two octave downwards) to +24 (two octave upwards). • The transpose setting also affects playback from song memory and Auto Accompaniment. • The allowable pitch range you can transpose within depends on the tone you are using. When transpose results in a note that is higher than the allowable pitch range, the keyboard replaces the note with one of the following. • The nearest note in the allowable pitch range (regardless of the pitch of the original note) • The same note in the nearest octave of the allowable pitch range In the case of a note that is lower than the allowable pitch range, the note is replaced with the nearest note in the allowable pitch range (regardless of the pitch of the original note). • After using Transpose to raise the keyboard to a high key, notes played at the highest range of the keyboard may not sound properly for certain tones. 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. To turn touch response on and off 1 Press the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button. • This causes the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION indicator (the FUNCTION indicator on the WK-8000) to appear on the display. 2 Use the [̇] and [̈] CURSOR buttons to display the touch response setting screen. Touch 3 Use the [+] and [-] buttons to select the touch response sensitivity level. • "1" outputs powerful sound even with light key pressure, while "3" requires very heavy key pressure to output powerful sound. • Pressing [+] and [-] at the same time returns sensitivity to the "2" setting. • When you select "oFF", the tone does not change regardless of how much pressure you apply to the keyboard. NOTE • Touch response not only affects the keyboard's internal sound source, it also is output as MIDI data. • Song Memory playback, accompaniment, and external MIDI note data do not affect the touch response setting.
