I haven't recorded a song on psr2000 in quite awhile... so I dunno. But I have done this twice to make sure the first time was not a fluke. I am using the Quick Record method to record what I play. And it does that. But in the song, I modulate 1/2 step up by pressing the Transpose button on the fly. But the recording does not step it up. Is this the way it is or something I'm missing?

Go to Function/ Controller/ Keyboard Settings/Transpose and set it to keyboard. I think this will function as you expect.

If not, let me know at mpb@sover.net .

Thanks, Michael! It worked! I never would have figured that one out and heck, that's pretty important!

BTW, only problem with this... it is apparently remembering exactly which notes are played, pitch being absolute and unchangable? Meaning... if I record in key of C but later decide I need to sing it in B, no dice? It can't be changed? The recording plays from the recorded key, independent of the Transpose button's setting?

Look at the discussion of Transpose in the manual, page 141. There is a lot you can do to adjust the key for a recorded midi.

Okay, I am away from home a few days but when I get there, I will look it up.

Michael, Thanks!
I had the same problem on my psr3000 that Bill had.

Bill, we are in the company of fine coaching here.

But i know that day is going to come, where i will have to resort to reading that manual

Bill and Michael,

Press the Direct Access button, then press the transpose button and you will see the transpose menu. Now select song and transpose the midi file only, or if you select Master, you can transpose the entire keyboard along with the midi file.

I am confused. TODAY, I am simply trying to change the beginning key of a midi. I thought it was working but it isn't. I went into Mixing Console and did all three choices, Master, Song and Keyboard. I finally decided that "Song" is the correct choice. Well, after I saved the song, that worked, BUT, apparently, it transposes EVERY MIDI thereafter? That doesn't make sense to me. I just want to transpose this particular midi.

EDIT: It is "remembering" that I transposed "song" +2 and applying that to midi's I play after the one I thought I was editing.

Regarding Direct Access button, if I press it and then Left Transpose button, it opens up Controller menu. Conversely, if I press Direct Access and then Right Transpose button, it opens up Mixing Console menu.

I just want to change the beginning key for midi and I have a ton of them to do, so, I need this.

I also need to change tempo but I can't see a screen for that.

I realize this doesn't help, but this is SOOOO easy to do on a kn6000 ... with technics no longer in the kb business, at some point I will probably have to get something else ... Is this easily accomplished on the Ty 2 ??? ...
