Hello....
Thank you for the Add this is a great forum.

I was playing along to a song using the favorite sounds Piano but had to transpose down -1
no problem there....... BUT, when I changed sound to another favorite sound Strings the TRANSPOSE Key -1
I had on my Piano sound defaulted back to C ?.....
Is there any way to KEEP the Transposed Key on ALL my favorite sounds to stay to whatever key I assign when I change sounds?
Any help appreciated..

Hi,

While I'm trying to find a better answer, I think two workarounds for this:
If you use SINGLE mode, you may modify each Piano Patch and save it as USER patch with the transpose setting as you want. Then set your favorites to these new USER Patchs
Other way, is to setup a LIVE mode with each tone in one PART (1 thru 8) and each part transposed as you like. (Save it as a new LiveSet). Instead use Favorite switch, you can select Pad Mode 13 Part Select and use PAD buttons to choose your current Part associated with your Patch

If I remember other way, I will post it.I think that experts from this forum could correct me or comment on other options.
Best regards,

Thank you for your answer....and I understand. This might be a deal breaker for me .
My situation is using my Fantom G in a "Live Band" scenario on stage.
Here I need to use a Master Transpose to make the whole keyboard in Favorites Mode to be the key I select on the fly for ALL SAVED SOUNDS.
Most keyboards I have used can do this easily..... Having to change keys when you have singers is imperative.

Thank you

Hello!

There are 2 options.

First, you can transpose the whole keyboard for all sounds and patches. There is a setting called "Master Key Shift" located in the "Sound" tab in the "System Setup".

Second, another option is before you save or register your "Favorite", perform the transpose you want. When you register a Favorite, it registers it with any transpose you currently have set. So often, many of my favorites will have a transpose registered with it. This gives you the flexibility to do different transposes per Favorite/patch.

If you just want to do it for everything across the board, option 1 is probably the easiest.
