How do I transpose on Yamaha S90 ES keyboard?

by Traci

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.

Press ''Utility'' button, then F1 followed by SF2. Under that you'll find ''transpose'' option.
