Transposing
Sometimes itÕs useful to transpose, that is, to move the pitch of the song
upward or downward. You may want to bring the song into someoneÕs
vocal range, make the song easier to play along with on your instrument,
or simply make an aesthetic adjustment.

following:

(track 1) to open the pop-up menu.
2. Choose
Track Properties

3. For Port, select your MIDI out device.
4. Click OK.
1. In the Console view, click the Port button in the Piano module.
2. Choose your MIDI out device from the menu.
1. In the Track pane, drag over the track numbers for tracks 1
through 4 to select them.
2. Choose
Edit-Transpose
.
3. In the Transpose dialog box, enter 7 in the Amount box. You can
type the number or use the spin controls.
