10.9.5. Transposition

These parameters affect the way the BeatStep Pro will respond to Transposition commands:

10.9.5.1. Transposition Latch

This preference allows you to choose whether a sequence will be transposed momentarily

or latched when receiving incoming MIDI notes on the Transposition Input Channel. With

either setting the transposition will happen immediately; the difference is what will happen

once the key is released.

When Latch is Off the sequences will transpose back to the original key immediately after

the key is released. When Latch is On the sequences will stay transposed after the key is

released, and continue in that key until another key is pressed.

This parameter does not affect the transposition from the pads on the unit, only what comes

from an external source.

10.9.5.2. Seq Trans. Input channel

Instructs the BeatStep Pro which MIDI channel will set the transposition amount.

10.9.5.3. Seq Trans. Input port

Use this to tell the BeatStep Pro which MIDI port will receive the transposition request. The

options are USB, MIDI, or USB & MIDI (both).

10.9.5.4. Seq Trans. Center pitch

The Center pitch decides which incoming note means “don’t transpose”. The default value is

MIDI note #60, or middle C [C3].

So for example, an incoming C3 won't transpose the sequence, but an incoming D3 will

transpose the sequence +2, etc.
