Transposing poly pressure and/or portamento
The Transpose poly pressure option transposes poly
pressure (aftertouch data) along with the notes that
it modifies.
The Transpose portamento controller (#84) option
transposes portamento controllers.
Audio transpose options
The following options are provided for audio
transposition only.
Transpose audio by adjusting pitch
Choose Transpose audio by adjusting pitch
automation if you would like to transpose the audio
by affecting Digital Performer’s non-destructive,
real-time pitch automation data for the selected
audio. The audio data must already have pitch data
to transpose; therefore, pitch analysis is required
before you can use this option. For complete
details, see chapter 81, “Transposing Audio”
(page 911).
Transpose audio by creating new soundbites
Choose Transpose audio by creating new soundbites
if you would like to transpose the audio by creating
a new audio file that is the transposed form of the
original file (leaving the original file in tact).
The Transpose Map
The Transpose Map displays a scrolling list of all
128 MIDI notes in a column on the left and the
pitch to which each will be transposed in a column
on the right. Notes and spellings in the map change
dynamically according to the transposition
options that you choose. In addition, you can edit
values directly in the Transpose Map list to further
modify the map, as shown below. Changes in one
octave are reflected in all other octaves.
As soon as you edit a pitch in the Transpose Map,
thus modifying it from they way it was originally
set up by the transpose options, the Custom Map
transpose option will then become automatically
selected to indicate that the transpose map is now a
custom map.
Playing in pitches from your MIDI controller
When editing the Transpose Map, you can play
individual pitches or an entire scale from your
MIDI controller. To play a scale, double-click the
first pitch to edit it and then play the scale. As you
play, each pitch gets entered into the current box,
which then automatically scrolls down to the next
note in the list and enters the next pitch you play. If
you make a mistake, use the Up Arrow and Down
Arrow keys to change the selected pitch.
When you are using the Custom Map option,
Digital Performer provides another intuitive way
for you to play in pitches from your MIDI
controller:
1 Select the Custom Map option.
2 Hold down the pitch you wish to transpose, and
while holding it down, play the pitch you wish to
transpose it to.
You do not need to select any values with the
mouse or computer keyboard to use this method.
When the Diatonic or
Scale/Key transpose
option is selected,
scale steps in the
source key are
displayed in boldface.
Changes in each octave
are reflected in all
other octaves as well.
You can customize the
transposition by click-
ing destination pitches
and typing a new value.
Use the Up/Down
Arrow keys to scroll
through the list. You can
also play pitches from
your MIDI keyboard. to
change the selected
pitch.
View other octaves by
using the scroll bar.
