Playing Various Musical Instrument Sounds (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 [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 F#3 NOTE The transposition setting affects not only the pitch of the keyboard but also the pitch of Song playback (page 24).

This lets you accurately match the keyboard pitch to that of other instruments or CD music. To tune up (in about 0.2 Hz steps): Press and hold down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, and press [+R]. To tune down (in about 0.2 Hz steps): Press and hold down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, and press [-L]. To set the pitch to 442.0 Hz: Press and hold down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, and press the C#1 key. To restore default pitch (440.0 Hz): While simultaneously holding down [DEMO/ SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE], press [+R] and [-L] simultaneously. Alternately, you can press the C1 key while holding down [DEMO/ SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously. Lowest key 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. Setting range: 414.8 - 466.8 Hz Default setting: A3 = 440.0 Hz C#1 21 YDP-S34 Owner's Manual
