Transpose Nord Lead -2

Cheers, I recently aquired a Nord Lead 1 synthesizer and so far I like it.

However tha band I play with tends to perform coversongs in a slightly lower tune than the original.

How can I transpose the Nord Lead -2 ?

PS. I also have a Hammond XK-1 and a Moog Opus-3 and they are no problem transposing, just twist a knob :-)

I suppose you weren't performing in the original band? And the transpose isn't just tuning, but more than one half tone difference?
If so, just play it in the other key ;)
If you want to tune it - play along with the original, use [Shift+tune] and use the curser up and down to tune it.

There are tools using Midi which are able to add or abstract a certain values in MidiNotes, so playing in C (only white keys) one can produce the key of A...

Thank's for your advice!

[Shift+tune] and curser down works and took me one half (-1?) tone down but to stay in tune with the band I need to go another -1 down, they cheat ;-)

I'll look further, I found some more detail on the Midi-subject you mention that might be useful, sounds complex though.
