32 Transposition With the Chord and

Transposition Tracks

You can use the Transposition and Chord tracks to alter the

playback transposition of MIDI events and Apple Loops over

time.

The Transposition track contains nodes that are connected by vertical and horizontal

lines. Each node represents a global transposition event, which determines the global

transposition value—until the playhead reaches the next transposition event during

playback.

Transposition events are closely linked to the chord root notes in the Chord track: If

you create or alter a transposition event, the amount of pitch shift will immediately be

reflected by the chord root notes in the Chord track—and vice versa.

The zero position of the Transposition and Chord track is determined by the current key

signature in the Signature track. If the key signature changes during a project, the zero

position of the Transposition and Chord tracks change accordingly.
