Ë Advanced Feature - E01 Transpose

This Advanced Feature allows you to transpose the XPK-100 into another key. You can select from “-5"

(down 5 half-steps) through “6” (up 6 half-steps). The default setting is “0.”

NOTE: The TRANSPOSE LED to the right of the Information Center Display will light whenever the XPK-100 is set to play

in any octave other than “0.”

You can transpose the XPK-100 using two methods:

1. Using the TRANSPOSE/LOCK Switch.

2. Using EDIT Mode.

1. From PLAY Mode, press the TRANSPOSE/LOCK Switch once. The Information Center

Display should look similar to what is shown below:

Notice that the red LED by the word, “TRANSPOSE” is flashing. This indicated that the XPK-100

is ready to be transposed.

2. Now select the Transposition interval you want by using the Pedal keys. That data chart
