ENGLISH Advanced Functions Transposing the Pitch in Semitones You can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitones to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures and 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 [PIANO/VOICE], press a key between F#2 (-6) and B2 (-1). To transpose the pitch up: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press a key between C#3 (+1) and F#3 (+6). To restore the normal pitch: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press the C3 key. F 2 C3 F 3 Lowest key -6 -4 -2 +1 +3 +6 -5 -3 -1 0 +2 +4 +5 Transpose down. Transpose up. Normal pitch. Fine tuning the Pitch You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument in about 0.2 Hz steps. This lets you match the keyboard pitch finely to that of other instruments or CD music. To tune up (in about 0.2 Hz steps): Press and hold down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, and press [+ R]. Hz (Hertz): This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in a second. To tune down (in about 0.2 Hz steps): Press and hold down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, and press [- L]. Setting range: 427.0 - 453.0 Hz Default Setting: 440.0 Hz To restore default pitch: Press and hold down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, and press [+ R] and [- L] simultaneously. 18 YDP-C71 Owner's Manual
