Keyboard part functions

Transpose

The Transpose function changes the pitch of the
notes and chords you play. Instead of figuring out
what other keys you need to press to accommodate
the singer or an instrumentalist, you can set the
required Transpose value and go on playing the song
the way you practised it, while sounding in a differ-
ent key. See the example below.
No transposition (C major)
Transpos= 4 (E major)
(1) Press the [Transpose] button.

The display now looks as follows.
Transpos
(2) Use the [+][–] buttons to set the desired transposi-
tion interval.
The setting range is –6~6 semitones. A "semitone" is
one step between a white and a black key (or two
adjacent white keys, i.e. between "E"/"F" and "B"/"C").
Press [+] or [–] repeatedly to transpose the keyboard
up or down.
Here's an example: if you want to hear an "E" every
time you play a "C", select "4". All other notes will be
shifted by the same amount, so that you end up
sounding in E major when you actually play in C
major, etc.
The corresponding value and the
in the display.
You can also specify which section(s) the Transpose
function should apply to:
(3) Press [√][®] to select one of the following options:
TransKey The Keyboard and Arranger parts will be
transposed. Notes received via MIDI, how-
ever, will be played without change.
TransDat Only the song parts will be transposed. This
is only meaningful when you play back a
Standard MIDI File or one of your own
songs with the KR103's Recorder.
TransAll All parts are transposed.
