MIDI Groove Clips
Using Loops
1. Right-click the clip and choose Clip Properties from the popup menu.
The Clip Properties dialog appears.
2. On the Groove Clips tab, in the Pitch (semitones) field, choose the
number of half-steps you want to transpose the clip by: choose negative
numbers to transpose down, or positive numbers to transpose up.
Either method transposes the original clip and all repetitions. The original
clip displays a positive or negative number in parentheses showing any
transposition value you’ve added to the clip.
If you use pitch markers to transpose a clip, any transposition value you add
to the clip by the above two methods changes the final pitch by whatever
transposition value you’ve added.
To Transpose a MIDI Groove Clip with Pitch Markers
Use the same method you use for audio Groove clips: see Using Pitch
Markers in the Track View.
