Transpose and Pitch Controls
There are two pitch-related controls on the Electone: Transpose and Pitch. Transpose allows you to
change the key of the instrument and Pitch lets you finely adjust the tuning. These features make it
easy to change the key of a song to accommodate a vocalist’s range or to precisely match the tuning
of another instrument.
NOTE:
The default Pitch is 440.0Hz (=A3).
N O T E :
The pitch changes cannot be recorded to
the Music Disk Recorder.
About the Pitch
