Octave Shift does the same butin octave increments.Transpose can be especially useful when you have learned a song in one key and have to play it inanother key. The transpose feature allows you to play the song in the original key, but hear it inanother key. You can transpose the Concert Magic songs, the Accompaniment Styles, any songsplayed back by the Easy/Advanced Recorder and any of the over 600 instrument and drum soundsavailable in the CP.Octave shift can be very useful when you are playing multiple sounds across the keyboard. Youmay want to use the octave shift to adjust a bass sound assigned to the LEFT/SPLIT Part to play inthe proper pitch range, or to set one sound in a layer to play in a different octave so that it mixeswell with other sounds in the layer.
