Selecting & Playing Voices 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 [METRONOME/RHYTHM], press a key between F#3 (-6) and B3 (-1). To transpose the pitch up: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME/RHYTHM], press a key between C#4 (+1) and F#4 (+6). To restore the original pitch: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME/RHYTHM], press the C4 key. F#3 F#4 Fine-Tuning the Pitch You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument in approximately 0.2 Hz increments. This lets you match the keyboard pitch finely to that of other instruments or CD music. To lower the pitch: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME/RHYTHM], press the C#0 key repeatedly to lower the pitch in approximately 0.2 Hz increments. To raise the pitch: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME/RHYTHM], press the D0 key repeatedly to raise the pitch in approximately 0.2 Hz increments. To reset the pitch to the default (A3 = 440 Hz): While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME/RHYTHM], press the B-1 key. To set the pitch to A3 = 442 Hz: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME/RHYTHM], press the C0 key. C#0 (-0.2 Hz) C4 B-1 (440.0 Hz) D0 (+0.2 Hz) C0 (442.0 Hz) NOTE • The setting range is from 427.0 Hz to 453.0 Hz. The default setting is A3 = 440.0 Hz. P-105 Owner's Manual 13
