I also have a concern about the Transpose button as well, I saw the Tempo icon indicated on the Montage's Screen, But I did not the the Transpose Value shows on the Montage's Screen, How can we know what is the Transpose that we're currently have..???

Thanks

? The Octave/Transpose buttons are permanently set to Transpose.
You press them directly to change the Octave
You press them using [SHIFT] to Transpose

When you transpose, either by octave or semitone values, a pop up appears momentarily at the top of the touch screen, indicating the transposition.

Thanks, I figured that much out. I was hoping that there is a setting where I could press directly to change the transpose without doing a shift first, but apparently not. I have a Montage 8 so changing the octave will not be used very often.

That would be nice. Maybe in a update you could double hit shift button an it holds then you press Octave/Transpose.
But if not it's no big deal to most of us. As a salesman I like Garry ideal of permanently set to Transpose as a sale point.
I know keyboardist who base 50% of there playing around a transpose button. I have sold some MO xf8 over the Motif because of a direct Transpose button. Good question.

Is this something you change dynamically while playing?

- if it is an issue why not just store your PERFORMANCE pre-Note Shifted to play in the key you want to be. It's a keyboard player's capo, set it then play. There are many ways to change the key on the synthesizer, beyond just the dedicated buttons.

Is there a limit to how far the notes can be shifted in a performance? In the motif xs it was +/-24 which may seem plenty but often in musical theatre keyboard parts you play a sound in bizarre registers with its transposition set for it to sound elsewhere. I used to get round this by creating a new voice whose pitch had already been shifted and then shifted it again within the performance if it needed to be more than 24 - can this also be done in montage?

Is there a limit to how far the notes can be shifted in a performance?

Yes, of course there is... The PART can be Note Shifted +/-24 semitones. The Element can be Coarse Tuned +/-48 semitones. Same as in the Motif XF.

Hello, me again,it would be nice if in the future update an octave and transpose indicator on the top part of the live set and performance main screen, it's an empty space that could be used, i'm playing at karaoke type gig ( sometimes we play the same songs in different keys) and also i'm using the same live sets for different songs and many times i forgot my keyboard was transposed...imagine the result LOL. I edited two screenshots on how it would look like. Thanks
