problem about KB37

i have a line6 kb37 midi keyboard, but i have a problem is about the transpose function. usually other midi keyboard could transpose the key , but i havent found this function on kb37 keyboard. i'm a guitar player , i dont know much how to play keyboard, but i can only play C key on keyboard. if i wanna play F key i cant, on other midi keyboard i can just transpose the keyboard to F key , so all keys i can play by C key way. but i cant do this on kb37 midi keyboard. so i wanna ask is there any software could help me when i playing the c key , the software already helping transpose the midi signal to F key and into my cubase ? (not after play, then transpose it in cubase , i mean i need playing while transposing it.)
i use windows xp system and cubase software.
wish i can get big help from you . thank you so much !!

    If you've used any other MIDI keyboard, it should be blindingly obvious - it is the "Octave Select" section below the pitch-bend and Mod Wheels.

      hi novakill, thank you so much for the reply.

       

      i know the where is the octave select, but this only for change the keyboard octave, not for transpose function.

       

      you mean i can use octave select to change the keyboard key ?

        OK, I probably should have read your whole post before replying. I have no idea why you would want to transpose your keyboard but what you should probably do is transpose the instrument you are playing instead, as most synths allow for semitone tuning of oscillators.

          While we are talking about blindingly obvious, NOVAkill, for one thing this is a 3 octave keyboard, which doesnt exactly give you room for symphonic orchestration, so transposing is often essential. It is also clearly designed for guitarists, who often are not keyboard players, and hence it is often useful to play in one key - usually C - because it is easier.
