Changing project key
Click the Project Key control and select a key from the menu to adjust a project’s key.
This feature makes it possible to use media that are in different keys in the same project: each loop that has a
specified root note is transposed to the key indicated by the
Project Key control.
For example, if three loops have root notes of A, B, and C, and your
Project Key control is set to D, ACID
pitch-shifts the loops by five, three, and two semitones, respectively.
Note: If the root note for a track is set to Don’t Transpose in
the Track Properties window, the track does not pitch shift
with the rest of the project.
