Transposing in real time while playing
To transpose a sequence in real time while playing, follow these
steps:
1. Play the sequence;
2. Press the TRANSPOSE key;
3. Locate middle "C" on the midi keyboard. Pressing any key above middle
"C" will instantly transpose the sequence up by an amount equal to the
distance the key is from middle "C". Pressing any key
below middle "C"
will instantly transpose the sequence down by the distance the key is
from middle "C". When you press the key, it will only be used to
transpose- the note will not sound. Be sure to press the key immediately
before the instant at which you want the transpose to occur. To remind
you that your sequence is being transposed, the light above the
TRANSPOSE key will go on.
4. To return to the original key signature, press middle "C".
