It is more problematic, however, when there is no dedicated transpose. I don't even like the E60 system, as you have to hit the transpose button, then look at the screen and touch the key you want on the facsimile keyboard shown. I can do this pdq but would prefer a two-button up/down system or better yet a slider showing the steps. The menus you talked about w/the Nord do make it a drag.
That's my beef with the dgx pianos too.
The transpose buttons on my PSR-S910, and the Tyros3, are dedicated, and, when you hit the up/down, the instrument doesn't transpose till you get back on the keys again.
I'm sure there are other instruments with a similar setup...it sure makes using a transposer a lot easier.
When I played in bands, I never used the transposer, but learned and performed the tune in it's original key...we also played everything by ear.
Now I use the transposer quite often, including transpositions during a tune.
