octave up or down.

— > Make sure the Track you want to Transpose is selected.
— > Select EDIT Page. and press TRACK.
— > Press TRANSPOSE — the Display shows the following:
—> Use the Data Entry Slider and
the Up and Down Arrow But-
tons to adjust by how many
semitone Steps the selected
Track will Transposed up or
down in pitch.

and so on. Range is from -12 (Down one Octave) To +12 (Up one Octave).
> Press *YES* to Transpose the Track. You will then be returned to the EDIT TRACK Page. Or
Press *NO* to cancel the procedure for any reason.
4) REM CTRLS — Remove Controllers
This EDIT function will leave all Key Events intact, but remove any Controller Data (Pitch Bend, MOD
Wheel, Breath Controller, Pressure — in short, anything that isn't a Key Event) from the Track.
Because a Digital Sequencer records every event as a separate number stored in Memory, Controllers
tend to eat up an enormous amount of Memory, compared to Key Events. A MOD Wheel used
extensively, for example, spews out a constant stream of numbers, which are dutifully recorded by the
Sequencer. Sometimes you might want to trade off some vibrato for some extra Memory. Sometimes
you might just want to remove an obnoxious Pitch Bend or other Controller. In either case, this can be
a handy function.
To REMOVE CONTROLLERS From a Track:
-> Make sure the Track you want to Remove Controllers from is selected. -
> Select EDIT Page, and press TRACK.
-> Press REM CTRLS — the Display shows the following:
-> Press *YES* to Remove all
Controller Data from the
Track. You will then be re-
turned to the EDIT TRACK
Page. Or Press *NO* to cancel the
procedure for any reason.
