ENGLISH Selecting & Playing Voices Transposition - [TRANSPOSE] This instrument's Transpose function makes it possible to easily match the pitch of the keyboard in semitone intervals to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to "5," playing the C key produces a pitch of F. In this way, you can play a song as though it were in C major, and the F11/F01 will automatically transpose it to the key of F. Operation Press one of the F#5-F#6 keys while holding the [BGM] button (see Quick Operation Guide). The current amount of transposition appears on the display while both controls are held. To transpose the pitch down (in semitone steps) Press one of the F#5-B5 keys while holding the [BGM] button. To transpose the pitch up (in semitone steps) Press one of the C#6-F#6 keys while holding the [BGM] button. To initialize the normal pitch Press the C6 key while holding the [BGM] button. Transposition TERMINOLOGY Transpose: Changing the key signature of a song. On the F11/F01, transposing shifts the pitch of the entire keyboard. TIP The transposition range: F#5: -6 semitones (down one octave) C6: normal pitch F#6: +6 semitones (up one octave) TIP Notes below and above the C-2 .... G8 range of the F11/F01 sound one octave higher and lower, respectively. Fine Tuning of the Pitch You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument. This function is useful when you play the F11/F01 along with other instruments or CD music. For the key assignment, refer to the Quick Operation Guide. Operation You can also use the keyboard to set the pitch. To tune up (in about 0.2Hz steps) Hold the A-1, B-1, and C0 keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3. The current pitch setting appears on the display while the key combination is held. Example: 432.0Hz To tune down (in about 0.2Hz steps) Hold the A-1, B-1, and C#0 keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3. The current pitch setting appears on the display while the key combination is held. To initialize standard pitch Hold the A-1, B-1, C0, and C#0 keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3. The current pitch setting appears on the display while the key combination is held. TERMINOLOGY Hz (Hertz): This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in a second. TIP Setting range: F11: 414.8Hz - 466.8Hz F01: 427.0Hz - 453.0Hz TIP Normal setting: 440.0Hz 36 F11/F01 Owner's Manual
