The transpose functions
To understand the principle behind this, follow the exam-
ple below:
1. Create a MIDI part, enter a C major chord, open the
Key Editor and activate “Indicate Transpositions”.
This way you can observe and understand what happens when you
change the transposition.
2. Add a transpose track and create a transpose event.
By default, the transpose value is set to 0.
3. Make sure that the “Keep Transpose in Octave
Range” button is activated on the transpose track and
change the transpose value of the transpose event to 7.
Your chord will be transposed accordingly.
If you enter a transpose value of 7, your chord will be transposed by
seven semitones upwards. In this example, this would be G3/B3/D4.
4. Set the transpose value to 8 semitones.
As “Keep Transpose in Octave Range” is activated, your chord will now
be transposed to the nearest interval or pitch.
Your chord has been transposed to the nearest pitch, this results in
G#2/C3/D#3.
!
If you mainly work with audio loops, we recommend
activating “Keep Transpose in Octave Range”.
