Is there a way to set up a sequence on the Volca Keys or Bass to make it change key by pressing a new root note? I know I could copy a sequence to a new slot and modify the notes but was looking for another, more "on the fly" way of doing this.

Thanks,
Pierre

I think because its a sequence and not an arpeggio you wont be able to do it without using some sort of external trick, that being either an external sequencer or a simple pitch shifter pedal used by guitarist and the like

I wanted to do something like that when I recorded this cover of "Popcorn". I wanted arpeggios following the song's chord structure. I ended up doing what you suggested - recording a sequence for each of the six chords used in the song - Am, Em, C, D F and G - and then "playing" them in real time using the memory buttons to change chords. But there is no way to do it just by changing the root note.

Awesome cover to Popcorn. Really nicely done!

Perhaps a bit off topic.... when in Poly Ring mode while running a pattern it sounds like the key is changing when adjusting the sustain. With the keys it's all about tweaking the sweet spot. but, I find this useful for variation.
