Transposition The Clavinova'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 six semitones. "Transposing" the pitch of the Clavinova 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. The A-1 and C#0 keys plus keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition. Z Simultaneously press and hold the A-1 and C#0 keys. X Press any key between F#2 and F#3 according to the desired amount of transposition.* C Release the A-1 and C#0 keys. A-1 C#0 F#2 C3 F#3 -6 -4 -2 +1 +3 +6 -5 -3 -1 0 +2 +4 +5 Transpose Transpose down. up. Normal pitch. * Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to the left of C3 (=B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone, the next key to the left (=Bb2) transposes down a whole tone (two semitones), etc., down to the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones. Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones. NOTE • Notes below and above the A-1 - C7 of the Clavinova sound one octave higher and lower, respectively. CLP-920 11
