How do I transpose on Yamaha S90 ES keyboard?

by Traci
(San Clemente, CA, USA)

I am singing at funeral this weekend and they want hymns. They are all too high for my voice and I want to know if the Yamaha S90 ES keyboard can transpose for me and if so, how to do it. I can't seem to find it in the manual.
Thanks so much!!

Transposing Yamaha S90ES
by: Alfred

Dear Traci: I'm not familiar with the S 90 ES.
If it has a feature for FUNCTION, go there, then to CATEGORY. Select 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 permits transposition to hear the music in any key, no matter what key is being played.

This is especially helpful if singing in the original key is difficult for a soloist.

Good luck, and come back to this Forum for further comments or questions. You are always WELCOME.
