The transpose functions
Other functions
Locking the transpose track
If you want to prevent your transpose events from being changed by mistake, activate
the Lock button on the transpose track. This way, you will not be able to move your
transpose events or change their transpose values.
Muting transpose events
Sometimes it might be useful to disable the transpose track, e. g. to hear the original
sound of individual tracks. If you activate the mute button on the transpose track, your
transpose events will not be taken into account during playback.
Keep Transpose in Octave Range
The “Keep Transpose in Octave Range” button on the transpose track (the button
with an up and down arrow in brackets) keeps the transposition in the octave range.
This option is activated by default. This way, nothing will be transposed by more than
seven semitones. This ensures that your music never sounds unnatural because the
pitch was raised too high or too low.
To understand the principle behind this, follow the example below:
1. Create a MIDI part, enter a C major chord, open the Key Editor and activate
“Indicate Transpositions”.
This way you can observe and understand what happens when you change the
transposition.
2. Add a transpose track and create a transpose event.
By default, the transpose value is set to 0.
