Making your settings permanent

• Select a root note and scale type for the new scale from the lower
pop-up menus.
Make sure to select the correct root note if you want to keep the result
in the same key as the original notes, or select an entirely different key
if you want to experiment.
Use Range
When this is activated, transposed notes will remain within the limit that you
specify with the Low and High values.
If a note would end up outside this limit after transposition, it is shifted to
another octave, keeping the correct transposed pitch if possible. If the range
between the upper and lower limit is very narrow, the note will be transposed
“as far as possible”, i.
e. to notes specified with the Low and High values. If
you set Low and High to the same value, all notes will be transposed to this
pitch!
OK and Cancel
Clicking OK performs the transposition. Clicking Cancel closes the dialog
without transposing.
Making your settings permanent
The settings described in the chapter “MIDI realtime parameters” do not change the
MIDI events themselves, but work like a “filter”, affecting the music on playback.
Therefore, you may want to make them permanent, i.
e. convert them to “real” MIDI
events, for example to transpose a track and then edit the transposed notes in a
MIDI editor. For this, you can use two commands from the MIDI menu: “Freeze MIDI
Modifiers” and “Merge MIDI in Loop”.

Freeze MIDI Modifiers
“Freeze MIDI Modifiers” applies all filter settings permanently to the selected track.
The settings are “added” to the events on the track, and all modifiers are set to zero.
The “Freeze MIDI Modifiers” function affects the following settings for MIDI tracks:
• Several settings on the main tab of the Inspector (program and bank selection
and the Delay parameter).
• The settings on the MIDI Modifiers tab (i. e. Transpose, Velocity Shift, Velocity
Compression, and Length Compression).
The following settings for MIDI parts are taken into account as well:
• The Transpose and Velocity settings for parts displayed on the info line – the
Volume setting is not taken into account.
