THINGS YOU MUST DO ON STAGE BEFORE PERFORMANCES 
  
1.  CHECK THE TRANSPOSE BUTTON

Hey am not condemning people who transpose, this is just a simple precaution you should follow because many has fall for this.

 I was invited to a program, a musician was told to handle someone ministration, then he ask he bassist what key he was playing, the bassist told him, i could not imagine if this guy have a good here, you need to see how obvious this was. The issue was just because the other pianist that performed last was on transpose and this guy forgot to check.
So my advice for you first is to switch off the piano so as to reset every functions made on the piano.


2. THE PITCH-BEND

This is similar to the transpose effect. I think this occurs frequently, you  must have this in mind that most pitch bend increases and decreases 3 semitone range Depending on the setting range.
