[. . . ] The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two voices, while keys to the left of C3 increase the volume of the left voice in relation to the right voice, and keys to the right of C3 increase the volume of the right voice in relation to the left voice. By "left" and "right" voice we refer to the relative positions of the voice selectors -- i. e. in a HARPSICHORD/ORGAN combination HARPSICHORD is the left voice and ORGAN is the right voice.

"Transposing" the pitch of the YDP-88 keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist. The [TRANSPOSE] button and keys F#2 through F#3 on the keyboard are used for transposition. F#2 TRANSPOSE C3 +1 +3 F#3 +6 -6 -4 -2 Z Press and hold the [TRANSPOSE] button. X Press a key between F#2 and F#3 according to the desired amount of transposition. * -5 -3 -1 0 +2 +4 +5 Transpose Transpose down. Normal pitch. C Release the [TRANSPOSE] button. * Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to the left of C3 (B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone, the next key to the left (Bb2) transposes down a whole tone (two semitones), etc. , down to the F#2 key which transposes down 6 semitones. Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way using the keys to the right of C3, up to F#3 which transposes up 6 semitones. NOTE · Notes below and above the A-1 -- C7 of the YDP-88 sound one octave higher and lower, respectively. 6 Pitch Control Pitch control makes it possible to tune the YDP-88 over a ±50-cent range (approximate) in approximately 1. 6-cent intervals. A hundred "cents" equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for tuning the YDP-88 to match other instruments or recorded music. q Tuning Up A-1 B-1 C3 B3 Z To tune up (raise pitch), hold the A-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is increased by approximately 1. 6 cents, up to a maximum of 50 cents above standard pitch. C Release the A-1 and B-1 keys. q Tuning Down A#-1 A -1 C3 B3 Z To tune down (lower pitch), hold the A-1 and A#-1 keys simultaneously. X Press any key between C3 and B3. Each time a key in this range is pressed the pitch is decreased by approximately 1. 6 cents, up to a maximum of 50 cents below standard pitch. C Release the A-1 and A#-1 keys. q To Restore Standard Pitch* A#-1 A -1 B -1 C3 B3 Z To restore standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz), hold the A-1, A#-1 and B-1 keys simultaneously. X Press any key between C3 and B3. C Release the A-1, A#-1 and B-1 keys. * Standard pitch (A3 = 440 Hz) is set when the [POWER] switch is initially turned ON. 7 The Metronome & Tempo Control The YDP-88 built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording using the Recorder feature, described below.
