Tone alteration

Post by peppecu »

Anyone knows if it's possible to store a tone alteration (e.g: +2 semitones) in one performance?
I tryed in many ways with non success.
Thank you.
Ciao.

Yes its possible, in GLOBAL MODE there is an option, i forgot exactly but
its gotta be in GENERAL somewhere i think, it says MASTER TRANSPOSE
and something after that you have to change.

This kind of setting is called TRANSPOSE (increase or lower in half steps).

The issue with GLOBAL (transpose) is it will stay that way for subsequent play. You don't really want to do that.

I think the original question is: how to get the transpose setting to be saved along with just that performance ? Only when you re-call that performance, then the keyboard get transposed, otherwise it should be normal.

I would try this: change the transpose setting, then save the performance. I know the tempo setting could be saved this way.

The danger of doing this (IF IT WORKS) is you may accidentally re-call a performance (which consist of layered voices) in the middle of live play (I do this all the time, will explain later), suddenly the music change pitch !!!

Why I recall various performances during live play ? the STS buttons only allows 4 instant voices change. I have a larger set of voices I want to select with a single button, so I save the each combined voices as a performance. On the screen I can see 8 of them for every PERFORMANCE button. This way I could change voices with either 1 or 2 buttons (on top of the 4 STS buttons).

Store of Traspose

I tried to save a performance when it was trasposed but it wasn't stored and it's a problem for me that sometimes I forgot to traspose for specific songs (or usually to return to the correct tone after a transposed song).
I think that there must be a different way to store transpose in a performance but I don't know how.
Thank you.
