Chapter 32: MIDI Editing 695
Transpose
Transpose lets you transpose MIDI notes up or
down by a specified number of octaves and
semitones, or in key by scale steps (based on the
Key Signature ruler). You can also transpose to a
specified pitch. Select By, To, or In from the
Transpose pop-up menu to transpose by an in-
terval, to a specific pitch, or in key by scale steps.
To transpose by an interval, enter the number of
octaves and semitones as a positive or negative
numbers.
To transpose to a specific pitch, enter the MIDI
note name.
To transpose in key by scale steps, enter the
number of steps as a positive or negative num-
bers. For example, enter +2 to transpose up by
thirds in key (a unison plus a second equals a
third).
Real-Time Properties on
Tracks and Regions
Real-Time Properties can be configured to apply
to an entire track (all regions on that track), or
on a region-by-region basis. Track-level proper-
ties also provide real-time MIDI input process-
ing of velocity and transposition.
The presence of track-based Real-Time Proper-
ties are indicated by a “T” displayed in the upper
right-hand corner of MIDI regions. Region-
based Real-Time Properties are indicated by an
“R” displayed in the upper right-hand corner of
the region. Regions boundaries including the
“T” and the “R” displays are indicated in Notes
view and in MIDI Editor windows, but not in
the Score Editor window.
Region-Based Real-Time Properties
Region-based Real-Time Properties can only be
applied using the Real-Time Properties window
(Event > MIDI Real-Time Properties). Real-Time
Properties can be applied to multiple regions.
Once Real-Time Properties have been assigned
to a region, the region can be moved or copied
and pasted and retain its Real-Time Properties.
Track-Based Real-Time Properties
All track-based Real-Time Properties consis-
tently apply to MIDI data throughout the entire
track. However, regions with region-based Real-
Time Properties will take precedence over any
track-based Real-Time Properties. You can clear
region-based Real-Time Properties by selecting
the region and clicking the Clear Region Proper-
ties button in the Real-Time Properties window
(see “Writing Real-Time Properties to Tracks or
Regions” on page 696).
For greater flexibility, when Real-Time Proper-
ties are assigned on a track basis they are actu-
ally contained in a track playlist. This lets you
create multiple playlists containing different
Real-Time Property settings.
Transpose can be applied as a Real-Time
Property to MIDI Input and Thru on record-
enabled MIDI and Instrument tracks.
