Transposition

The P-70’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down

in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difﬁcult key signatures, and to let you easily match the

pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the

transposition amount to “+5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a song as

though it were in C major, and the P-70 will transpose it to the key of F.
