Transposing Notes (Transpose) - Roland MV-8000 Owner's Manual

Transposing notes (Transpose)

You can transpose note messages in a range of 127 semitones. Use this command when
you want to transpose notes in a specific region of the song.
1.
Specify the editing region as described in Using the SEQUENCE EDIT
screen to edit (p. 91).
This specifies the region of sequence data in which notes will be transposed.
2. Access the SELECT SEQUENCE EDIT COMMAND popup (p. 225), and
choose "Transpose..."
The TRANSPOSE popup (p. 235) will appear.
3. Set the parameters.
• Transpose
This parameter specifies the amount by which the note data will be transposed (in
units of one semitone). Specify a positive "+" value to raise the pitch, or a negative "-"
value to lower the pitch. With a setting of "0," the notes will not be transposed.
• Note Range
This specifies the range of note numbers that will be transposed. For example if you
want to transpose note numbers in the range of C3 and C4, set the left and right values
of the Range parameter to "C3" and "C4" respectively. You can also specify these by
striking the pads.
4.
Press (Execute).
The note messages in the specified region will be transposed.
To lower the bass notes by one octave
If you recorded your bass performance one octave higher than you intended, here's
how you can use the Transpose command to lower the notes by one octave.
Set the Bias parameter to "-12." Set the Range parameter to the lowest and highest
note of the bass performance you want to transpose.
To exchange a percussion instrument sound
You can use the Transpose command to exchange a specific percussion instrument
sound played within a drum performance. For example, suppose you want to
exchange a conga sound for a tom sound. If the conga is assigned to the D4 key and
the tom is assigned to the C3 key, set the Range parameter to "62 (D4) - 62 (D4)"
and the Transpose parameter to "-14".
