Transposing
by: Alfred

Dear Choir Singer: I am not familiar with the CLP 560, but on SOME YAMAHA UNITS, transposing is done as follows:
1) Activate the FUNCTION Control
2) Use CATEGORY to select "TRANSPOSE" on Display
3) Use the DIAL/Menu Selector to set the transpose value (between -100 and + 100 for small pitch changes) & (between -12 and + 12 for large pitch changes).

Keys represented by the 0-12 and 0+12 settings are explained as follows:

When the transpose setting is at 0 then playing middle C gives a middle C. So whatever key is used to play the music will be "true" and accurately tuned.

Going up one, for example (+1), and playing middle C will sound a C#.

Lowering the transpose setting one (-1) will sound a B if the middle C is played.

This is especially helpful if singing in the original key is difficult for a vocalist, or if playing along with any "differently tuned" instrument.

This is submitted hoping it works and is in time for your performance. If not, hopefully some Forum member will provide a timely response. I would appreciate a Forum message from you if my suggestion works, as we will all learn from your experience. Good luck.

CLP 560 does not have a "dial"
by: Anonymous

The CLP 560 does not have a dial, but it does have a button. I don't know how to do it and I want to know. Please tell me how to transpose with the CLP 560 "midi/transpose" button!
