Basic Operation Quick Guide Key Transposition-Transpose The CP300'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 a C key produces a pitch of F. In this way, you can play a Song as though it were in C major, and the CP300 will transpose it to the key of F. Press the [TRANSPOSE] button to transpose the entire keyboard. With just the press of a button, you can reconfigure the transpose setting. For details about setting the amount of transposition, see below. The indicator will light when a transpose setting other than "0" is selected. 1 [TRANSPOSE] button MASTER PERFORMANCE TRANSPOSE TRACK 1 2 3-16 SONG FILE MIDI OUT PANEL LOCK A MASTER EDIT PERFORM.FILE SONG SELECT REC STOP PLAY/PAUSE SONG SETTING DOWN UP NEW SONG SYNCHRO START SONG TEMPO C B NO YES D CONTRAST EXIT GRAND PIANO 1 GRAND PIANO 2 MONO PIANO E.
