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 > Tuning .
If you still want to transpose the Song, use the Transpose function found
in the Sequencer > Song Edit > Transpose page to transpose the MIDI data
contained in 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.
Displaying transposed chord abbreviations in MIDI Songs
When changing the Master Transpose, chord abbreviations contained in MIDI
Songs are transposed and correctly shown in the display. Master Transpose
must be applied to the Player, but not to the Keyboard.
Please note that chords contained in a linked TXT file or shown in a CDG file
are not transposed.
