Changing the volume when FIXED is selected
When you select FIXED, you can set the volume for notes
played in FIXED mode by using the
[–/NO]
and
[+/YES]
but-
tons while you hold the
[TOUCH]
button. The current vol-
ume level appears on the display. The volume range is from 1
through 127. The default setting is 64.
Transposition – [TRANSPOSE]
The P-90’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down
in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the
pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the
transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a song as
though it were in C major, and the P-90 will transpose it to the key of F.
Use the
[–/NO]
and
[+/YES]
button while holding the
[TRANSPOSE]
button to transpose down or up as required.
The amount of transposition appears on the LED display
while the
[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 function ON or OFF.
