Not sure. I don't really mess with transposing.

    As far as the interface on the keyboards goe, both can be navigated by a 
blind user. If you can get  sighted person to help you learn your way around 
the fantom, it's doable. You're at an advantage with the Motif, because there 
are more blind users with that keyboard than there are with the fantom. I've 
used both with Sonar, and Yamaha is, in my personal opinion, better with Sonar, 
because Roland boards and modules dont work with Sonar from song mode, but 
rather from their stupid performance mode, which gets extremely frustrating at 
times.

      Can anyone,  Tell me which keyboard is more user friendly for blind 
people?  I'm not talking about the sound, I know which sounds better," I want 
to know  which keyboard, is easier to navigate around and going in and out of 
menus.  An which one  is more user friendly, with CakeWalk???  

      One more question,?  On the Motif," can you assign a button to make it 
transpose, half steps, instead of going in to the utilities menus to transpose? 
 Can I assign a button to do that??  

      I know there is a transpose button, on board the fantom.  
      But which Keyboard, is more user friendly to do splits and edit your 
sounds?  

      An I'm  asking, those of you, who have both keyboards, or that's familiar 
with both keyboards, and/or who have,"  had hands-on both boards as a blind 
person??
      Please Advise??  Because I have a choice on which keyboard to purchase, 
and I'll be using it for both," sequencing, and live performances.

      Thanks so much for all of your responses in advance!
