Change pitch/transpose in sequence mode

salomao · Post by **salomao** » Thu Dec 05, 2019 4:31 pm

Hello

Is there any way I can change the pitch (transpose) of a specific track in sequencer mode?

I mean, I have a song and I need that a specific track to sound 1 key upper from compass 120 to the end of the song.

I know that i can change a few parameters (volume, pan, etc.) using track edit --> event edit --> control change, but I cant find any control change (CC#) to transpose the track....

Any help would be very welcome.

I think you didn't understand me.

I know how to change the pitch of a track. The problem is I want the pitch to be changed at the middle of the song. For example, track 1 is played in C key (pitch 00) but I want it to sound in D key (+02) from compass 120 to 200. is there any way i can program that instead of manually change the pitch during playback?

Why don't you change the pitch directly via Midi Event edit?

OIC.

You are performing live in SEQ mode, correct ?

Might not be the only or best way but you could set up a 2nd Midi track with your " D"

I am not aware of a midi message for transpose. Maybe wait for 1 of our midi experts to post

Yes, thats right, and using a different midi track would do the job, but I run out of available tracks

In SEQ Mode go to the Track Edit tab. Form The Page Menu Commands select Shift/Erase Note. A dialog pops up. Not going to go through all the settings (consult the manual) , but in the Shift Note field enter 002. and hit OK.
I just tried it. This will work for pitch. You need to make sure you select the correct measures (what I believe you mean by "compass"). So now the sequence is transposed for that section of your song.
Hope this is what you are looking for.

I'm not the OP, but I offer my thanks to ronnfigg for providing the best answer to this question, which is to transpose (shift) MIDI note numbers across a range of measures instead of using MIDI CC#'s. This question was cross-posted as a topic in the Triton Extreme section, and I answered it there not knowing it had already been well-answered here. But for what it's worth, I looked into it and found that transpose can be edited into a track using 4 CC#'s implementing the MIDI RPN coarse tune message (though not the preferred method).

CC#101 000
CC#100 002
CC#038 000
CC#006 067

CC#006 contains the transpose value. 64 is the center (no transpose). Add n to 64 to transpose up n semitones. Subtract n from 64 to transpose down n semitones. In the example, 67 transposes up 3 semitones.
