Octave Shift Buttons

At the center of the rear panel of your eKeys keyboard are two small gray buttons for controlling

the octave range within which MIDI notes are transmitted. These buttons can be easily

accessed by simply reaching over the top of the keyboard with your ﬁngers during play. By

pressing the left or right Octave Shift button, you will shift the keyboard higher or lower by

one-octave increments. For example, if you want to transpose the keyboard to a note range that

is two octaves lower, press the left Octave Shift button twice.

To quickly return to the default octave range, just press the right and left Octave Shift buttons

at the same time.

Each time your eKeys is powered off and back on by either shutting down the attached

computer or by unplugging the USB cable connection, the default octave setting ranging from

F2(41) to F5(77) will be restored.
