Reassigning the Octave Buttons
In addition to setting an octave shift, the Octave “+” and “-” buttons can also be assigned to control any
one of the six additional MIDI functions described in this section.
In the diagram below, you will see that the first 7 black keys are labeled “DATA = ________.” Use these keys
to select which function to assign to the Octave buttons. When assigned to these functions, both buttons
will remain lit, regardless of the current setting of that function.

The six additional functions that you can assign the Octave buttons to are described in the following
sections.
Transpose
In some cases it may be useful to raise or lower the pitch by a number of semitones (half-steps) as opposed
to an entire octave. For example, if you are playing a song with a singer that is having difficulty singing the
top notes, you may want to reduce the pitch by one or two semitones. This is achieved using the Transpose
function. When assigned to this parameter, the keyboard can be transposed a maximum of one octave in
either direction. The Data=Octave assignment is retained when the keyboard is turned off.
To assign the Octave “+” and “-” buttons to the Transpose function:
1. Press the Edit button. The Edit button light will illuminate to full brightness.
2. Press the “DATA = TRANSPOSE” key, (D#, 2nd black key from the left).
The keyboard exits Edit Mode as soon as the “DATA = TRANSPOSE” key is pressed, and the Edit light will
return to half brightness.
1. Press the “+” key and you will hear the pitch of the note get higher. Press the “-” key and you will hear
the pitch get lower.
2. Press both “+” and “-” together to cancel Transpose and return Transpose to zero.
The DATA=TRANSPOSE assignment is retained when the keyboard is turned off.
