This is also true when adjusting the parameter from your controller.
5.3 Adjusting the Base Key
In Group mode, the base key defines the key (or pitch) at which the selected Sound will be
played when its pad is pressed. In Keyboard mode, it defines the key played by pad 1 on your
controller; pads 2–16 will then play keys from [base key + 1 semitone] up to [base key + 15
semitones].
The base key also affects the pitch of events created via the step sequencer. See section
↑7.3.1, Step Mode Basics for more information on this.
Adjusting the base key only affects the notes played by the pads of your controller. It
does not affect the notes recorded in your Patterns! To adjust the key of notes in Pat-
terns, please refer to section ↑4.1.3, Selecting Multiple Sounds or Groups.
You can select multiple pads and quickly change the base key for all of them at once!
See section ↑7.4, Editing Events to know how to do this.
Adjusting the Base Key in the Software

1. Click the Pad View button above the Sound List in the Pattern Editor to show the Pad
view for the focused Group.
2. Click the Key value and drag your mouse vertically, or double-click it, enter a new value
on your computer keyboard, and press [Enter] to confirm.
Adjusting the Base Key on the MASCHINE MIKRO Controller
