MIDI Songs and Master Transpose
Saving Master Transpose with the Song
When saving a MIDI Song from the Sequencer mode, the Master Transpose
value is saved with the Song. This value is preserved when playing back the
Song in Song Play mode.
Preventing unwanted transposition
When loading a MIDI Song containing Master Transpose data, the instru-
ment’s Master Transpose is modified. This may cause problems with other
Songs or when playing the Styles. To avoid this to happen, you may lock the
Master Transpose in Global > General Controls > Lock.
If you still want to transpose the Song, use the Transpose function found in
the Sequencer > Song Edit > Transpose page to transpose the MID file.
As a general rule, you should use the Master Transpose (TRANSPOSE but-
tons on the control panel) when you want to transpose the Keyboard Sounds
together with the Song. You should use the Song Edit’s Transpose function
when only the Song has to be transposed.
When is Master Transpose applied?
You can decide when the Master Transpose will take effect.
1 Go to the Global > Tuning > Transpose Control page.
2 Use the Transpose applies to Style and Kbd Tracks pop-up menu to choose
when transposition will apply.
