Brilliance This control can be used to change the tonality or "timbre" of the sound output. The control range is from MELLOW to BRIGHT. For a brighter or "sharper" tone, slide the control towards the BRIGHT position. For a "rounder" more mellow tone, slide the control towards the MELLOW position. NOTE • When the BRILLIANCE is set to BRIGHT, the overall sound will be slightly louder. If the MASTER VOLUME is set at a high level the sound may become distorted. If so, lower the MASTER VOLUME level. Transposition The P-120/P-120S's TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). "Transposing" the pitch of the P-120/P-120S keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist. Use the [-/NOM] and [+/YESL] button while holding the [TRANSPOSE] button to transpose down or up as required. The transposition range is from "-12" (down one octave) through "0" (normal pitch) to "12" (up one octave). The amount of transposition appears on the LED display while the [TRANSPOSE] button is held. The default transpose setting is "0". The [TRANSPOSE] button indicator remains lit when a transpose setting other than "0" is selected. Every time the [TRANSPOSE] button is pressed after that switches the transpose ON/OFF. NOTE • Notes below and above the A-1 ... C7 range of the P-120/P-120S sound one octave higher and lower, respectively. 22 P-120/P-120S 20

of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12
semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). “Transposing” the pitch of
the P-120/P-120S keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you
can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instru-
mentalist.
