• Selectively Transposing Keyboard/Song
These settings can be used to match both the song and your
keyboard performance to a certain key. For example, let’s say
you wish to play and sing along with a certain recorded song.
The song data is in F, but you feel most comfortable singing in
D, and you are accustomed to playing the keyboard part in C.
To match up the keys, keep the Master Transpose setting at
“0,” set the Keyboard Transpose to “2,” and set Song Transpose
to “-3.This brings the keyboard part up in pitch and the song
data down to your comfortable singing key.
