TRANSPOSE & OCTAVE SHIFT
Transpose raises or lowers the 
CP's pitch in half-note step 
while Octave Shift acts in octave 
increments.

Transpose and octave shift are 
useful features for when you are 
playing multiple sounds across 
the keyboard.  You may need the 
octave shift to adjust a bass 
sound to play in the proper pitch 
range in the LEFT Part, or to get 
one sound in a layer of 
RIGHT1/RIGHT2 sounds to play 
lower so that it mixes well with 
the other sound. 

Transpose is also useful when you 
wish to play a piece written a 
key that you are not comfortable 
with. It lets you "move" the 
keys around until you can play 
the piece 
You can transpose the Concert 
Magic songs, the Accompaniment 
sounds, and any of the 300 
instrument sounds that you select 
to play on the keyboard.

To Transpose:

1) Press either the UP or DOWN 
TRANSPOSE buttons.  The transpose 
amount will be displayed in the 
LCD screen and go up or down 
every time one of these buttons 
is pressed.

2) To get the CP back to its 
default (normal) key, press both 
the UP and DOWN buttons at the 
same time.  The transpose amount 
will disappear from the LCD 
screen, indicating that the CP is 
now back to its original setting.

To use the Octave Shift:

1) Select the Part that you would 
like to apply the shift to.

2) Press either the UP or DOWN of 
the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons.  The 
number of shifted octaves will be 
displayed with triangle symbols 
in the LCD screen and go up or 
down every time the button is 
pressed.

3) To get the CP back to the 
normal octave setting, press both 
the UP and DOWN buttons at the 
same time.  The symbols will 
disappear from the screen, 
indicating that the instrument is 
back to its normal octave range.

The number of octaves shifted is 
represented by the number of 
triangles shown above the sound 
name for each Part.

Transpose amount is shown at the 
bottom of the screen.

The Octave Shift has a range of 
four octaves in each direction.  
However, the onboard sounds have 
a limited range in which they 
play properly.  If you shift too 
far out of this range, the 
instrument may sound strange or 
may not play at all.  This has no 
affect on the CP's proper 
function, though, and you should 
feel encouraged to use this 
feature as a means of getting 
interesting tonal variations out 
of the presets.
