Performing
The “Key Transpose” function lets you play a song at a different key. If you’re accompanying
a singer, you can use the Transpose function to shift the pitch to a key that’s comfortable for
the singer while you continue playing in the same familiar key (fingering).
You can also use this function to transpose the pitch of your playing without changing
your fingering on the keyboard. For example, if the song is in a difficult key with
numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose to a key that’s easier for you to play.

On the DP-990, you can transpose the pitch of just the keyboard, or the pitch of the
keyboard and song together, or the pitch of just the song(Playback Transpose; p. 49)
(Transpose Mode; p. 68).
When the DP-990 is shipped from the factory, it is set so that the pitch of the keyboard
and song will be transposed together .
1.
Hold down the [Transpose] button and press the key corresponding to the
tonic of the desired key. (In this case, the note will not sound.)

is held down.

Y
ou can also adjust this setting by holding down the [Transpose] button and using the [-]
[+] buttons.
The available range is -6–0–5 (semitone steps).
If this is set to a value other than 0, the [Transpose] button will light.
If the transpose value is not “0,” you can use the [Transpose] button to turn the Transpose function on/off.
When you release the [Transpose] button, you return to the previous screen.
By holding down the [Transpose] button and pressing both the [-] and [+] buttons
simultaneously, the setting returns to its original value (0).
If you set Transpose Mode (p. 68) to “-S-” (Song playback), the Key Transpose function
will not be applied.
Example: Playing a Song in the Key of E Major After Transposition to C Major
Hold down the [Transpose] button and press the E key (since E is the tonic).
Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up four keys, including the black keys,
to reach E, thus “4” appears in the display.
