Transposing a MIDI
centered text
In mid January 2009, one of the PSR Tutorial contributing members posted a link to a program called Snapper, which enables us to snap a picture of the PSR-3000 screen display and save them to internal keyboard memory. These can then be transferred to the computer to be used for creating projects like this. Enjoy the fruits of sharing.
Please download this midi for demonstration of Midi Transpose and transfer it to your USER area in the keyboard: Midnight_FB.MID
