Selecting and Playing Voices Transpose and Tuning You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the PSR-172/ 170 with the Transpose and Tuning functions. I Transpose Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the Multi Pads. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PSR-172/170 to other instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your fingering. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1 octave). 1 Select the Transpose function in the Overall menu. Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until "TRANSPOS" appears in the display. Current Transpose value 00 TRANSPOS TEMPO 116 Indicates Transpose is selected 2 Change the value. Use the numeric keypad to set the desired Transpose value (-12 - +12). To transpose the pitch down, simultaneously press the [-] button and use the numeric keypad to type in the (negative) value. You can also use the [+]/[-] buttons to increase or decrease the value. Holding down either button continuously increases or decreases the value. • Transpose has no effect on voices #088 (Echo Drum Kit), #098 and #099 (DJ), or #100 (Drum Kit). Also, this setting cannot be changed during song playback. Resetting the Transpose Value If you've changed the Transpose setting, you can instantly restore the default setting of "00" by pressing both [+]/[-] buttons simultaneously (when Transpose is selected). 27
