Transpose By Events
Continuing with the Inter Track event group, the remaining events in this group are:
xpose by trk n
xpose by trk n+B
These two events allow you to transpose the note value on the current track.
The transposition is performed relative to middle C, which means that if the note value on
the target track is middle C, the note on the current track is not transposed.
To demonstrate these events, you can use pattern A and pattern B from the grab example
again.
Instead of assigning aux A to “grab”, assign it to “xpose by trk n”.
If you set aux A active on steps 1, 5, 9 and 13, with a value of 2, you will get the following
result:
On step 1, track 1 plays the original note from the pattern.
This is because the note value on track 2 is C5 – middle C, so there is no transpose.
On step 5, track 1 plays G4. This is the original note - C4, transposed up by 7 semitones.
The transpose is the difference between the note on track 2 – G5, and middle C – C5.
Check the results on the last two enabled steps and you’ll see the same rule applies.
To demonstrate a more practical use of the transpose event:
enable aux A with a value of 2 on every step of pattern A
change the timebase on pattern B to 1
This will show a useful feature of the way aux events work.
