The transpose feature lets you change the pitch, in semitone 
steps. A simple operation lets you instantly change the pitch 
to match that of a singer.
 The transpose setting range is –12 to +12 semitones.
1.Press 3 (FUNCTION).
2.Use the bq (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to select 
the transpose setting you want.
Use the tuning feature when you need to adjust the pitch 
slightly to play along with anot her musical instrument. Also, 
some artists perform their music  with slightly altered tuning. 
You can use the tuning feature to  adjust tuning so it exactly 
matches a performance on a CD.  The tuning feature specifies the frequency of the A4 note.  You can set a frequency within the range of 415.5 to 
465.9 Hz. The initial default setting is 440.0 Hz.
1.Press 3 (FUNCTION) a number of times until 
“Tune” appears on th e display (page E-4).
2.Use the bq (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to adjust 
the tuning.
 Performing this step causes  the display to change from 
“Tune” to a value that indicates the current frequency 
setting as shown below. You can change the frequency 
in 0.1Hz steps.
 Even if you do not perform a 
bq (10-key) operation to 
adjust the tuning, the cu rrent frequency setting will 
appear automatically after a few seconds. You can use the Digital Keyboar
d to sample a sound from a 
microphone, and then play the so und with the keyboard keys 
or voice pads. For example, y ou could sample the bark of 
your dog and then use the sound in a melody. The sampling 
feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly 
creative.
Connect a microphone.
 Use of a commercially av ailable microphone also is 
supported.
 Turn off the microphone and the Digital Keyboard  before connecting them.
 It will take a few seconds before you can use the 
microphone after you turn on the Digital Keyboard.
 Sampled sounds are recorded in monaural.
 You cannot sample sounds input from through the  AUDIO IN jack.
There are two sampling methods: full sampling and short 
sampling.
■ Full Sampling
This method allows sampling of  a single sound with a duration 
of one second.
1.Turn the volume levels  of the Digital Keyboard 
down.
2.Turn on the microphone  and then the Digital 
Keyboard.
3.Use dm (MIC VOLUME) to adjust the volume 
level of microphone input.

4.Press 4 and immediately release it.
This enters record standby.
5.Output the sound in the direction of the 
microphone.
The Digital Keyboard will start sampling automatically, 
and stop after one second.
 Sampling will not start if the volume of the sound picked 
up by the microphone is too low.
 What you sample is stored as tone number 401.
6.Try playing something on the keyboard.
 You can press pad 4 or 5 (ck or cl) to sound the 
sampled sound (page E-8).
 A new sample replaces sample data currently assigned to 
tone number 401. All of the old data (including short 
sampled sounds) is deleted.
■Short Sampling
With short sampling, you can sample up to three sounds, 
each one with a duration of approximately 0.3 seconds. You 
can sound the short sampled sounds using voice pads 
1 through 3.
1.Connect a microphone to the Digital Keyboard.
Refer to steps 1 through 2 under “Full Sampling” (page 
E-12).
2.While holding down 4, press the voice pad 
(
br, bs, or bt) that corresponds to the tone 
number where you want to store the sound.
 The relationship between tone numbers and voice pads 
is shown below.
Example:When voice pad 3 (Tone Number 404) is 
selected
Record standby is entered when you release 
4.

3.Output the sound in the direction of the 
microphone.
Sampling starts automatically and stops after about 0.3 
seconds.
 Sampling will not start if the volume of the sound picked 
up by the microphone is too low.
4.Try playing something on the keyboard.
 You also can sound the sampled sound by pressing the 
voice pad you pressed in step 2.
 Sampling a new sound deletes the sound assigned to the 
same tone number and the full sampling sound (page 
E-12).Turning off power will causes all sampled sound data to be 
deleted.
■How sampled sounds are played
Pressing Middle C (C4) will play back the original sound. The 
keys to the left and right of C4 play the sound at different 
pitches.
Set 1 of voice pads 1 through 4 (
br through ck) produce 
sampled sounds without modification.
1.Press 3 (FUNCTION) a number of times until 
“SmplAuto” appears on the display (page E-4).
2.Press bq (10-key) [–] key to select the OFF 
setting.
This enables manual sampling. When this setting is 
selected, sampling starts as soon as you release 
4 in 
step 4 under “Full Sampling” (page E-12) or step 2 under 
“Short Sampling” (page E-13).
 When the above setting is “oFF”, sampling starts when 
you release 
4, not when you press it. Sampling will 
not start if you keep 
4 depressed.
