TRANSPOSE AND TUNING

Transpose

Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord

accompaniment of the selected style.  It also determines the pitch of the

songs.  This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PortaTone to other

instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your

fingering.  The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of 

±

 12

semitones (

±

 1 octave).
