Transposing
Transpose MIDI FX

The Transpose command is a highly flexible transposition feature. You can perform simple chromatic or diatonic transpositions, transpose from one key and scale to another, or define your own custom transposition.

The transpose options are as follows:

Parameter/Option...	Meaning...
Interval	Specifies chromatic transposition. Transposes notes by the specified number of steps.
Diatonic	Specifies diatonic transposition. Transposes notes by the specified number of scale steps within the specified scale.
Key/Scale	Specifies transposition from one scale and key to another.
Custom Map	Specifies custom transposition as defined by the map.
Offset	For Interval transposition, the number of steps for the transposition For Diatonic transposition, the number of scale degrees for the transposition. For Key/Scale transposition, a number of octaves added to each note after transposition.
Key	For Diatonic transposition, the key in which the transposition is made.
From, To	For Key/Scale transposition, the starting and ending key and scale.
Transposition Map	A table of pitch mappings for the specified transposition. You can select to show the pitches as note names or as note numbers. For Diatonic and Key/Scale transposition, pitches not in the starting (from) key are indented. To change a pitch mapping, click on a From pitch and select a To pitch with the pop-up slider. If you change a pitch mapping, the transposition type is automatically set to Custom Map.
Constrain to Scale	For Diatonic and Key/Scale transpositions, forces all non-scale notes to be transposed to the nearest appropriate scale tone.
