Quick Guide Keyboard Octave/ Transpose settings Octave The OCTAVE [-]/[+] button lets you shift the pitch of the keyboard in octaves, up to a maximum of three. For example, you may want to shift the pitch down lower to get extra bass notes, or shift up to get higher notes for leads and solos. Pressing the [-] and the [+] buttons together at the same time will return the setting to the initial value (0). The current octave range can be confirmed via the status of the lamp of the OCTAVE [-]/[+] buttons. When set to one octave down or up, the corresponding lamp lights. When set to two octaves down or up, the corresponding lamp flashes slowly. When set to three octaves down or up, the corresponding lamp flashes quickly. Transpose The TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] button lets you shift the pitch of the keyboard in semitones (up to 11 semitones). This function allows you to play in the same position and with the same fingering, even if the Song data or another instrument player is playing in a different key. Pressing the [-] and the [+] buttons together at the same time will return the setting to the initial value (0). When set to one semitone down or up, the corresponding lamp lights. Playing the Performances A program in which multiple Voices (parts) are combined is referred to as a "Performance," and the instrument has a total of 128 Performances. A Performance consists of up to 16 Parts. The Parts which you normally use for playing the keyboard are Parts 1 and 2. When turning on this instrument with the factory settings, Performance 1 is called up. In the instructions covered so far (pages 18 - 24), you've played and edited Parts 1 and 2 of Performance 1, which is simply designed for playing one or two Voices. Performances 2 - 128 are provided for enjoying a powerful and thick sound which consists of multiple various Voices. In the instructions below, we'll change the Performance to one of Performances 2 - 128 and play it.
