ENGLISH Advanced Operations Transposing the Pitch in Semitones You can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitones in order to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, or to easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if "+5" is selected, playing key C produces pitch F, letting you play a song of F major as though it were in C major. To transpose the pitch down: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press a key between F 2 (-6) and B2 (-1). To transpose the pitch up: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press a key between C 3 (+1) and F 3 (+6). To restore the normal pitch: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press the C3 key.

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.
