Idea: Global Transpose Automation

Open Lykdraft opened this issue 8 years ago • 6 comments

So I think it would be a good addition to the "left lanes" to make them more usable. (i.e. Grid/BPM/Sign/LZ/Tempo Multiplier) if we could have a Global Transpose there as well. (Which most likely would then become the most used of those for sure.)

Caveat is that the tracks would need n option to exclude specific tracks from Global Transpose if needed. So that Drum tracks are not affected.

Best, tL.

Do you mean a block transpose box? (one value for the whole block)

Or do you mean a new transpose track? (line 10: transpose up an octave, line 20: transpose down an octave)

Transpose box sounds interesting, but I meant a transpose track. Probably way more flexible and helpful for all kinds of chromatic fills and keychanges inside an actual block.

(Maybe even on Song-Level? Kinda Super-Global Transpose Track?)

Best, tL.

I think a simpler and perhaps better way to achieve the same thing would be to create a "Global Transpose" instrument. In this instrument, you have a parameter called "middle tone", which by default is set to C-4. So if you, for example, play a D-4, all other notes will be transposed one note up while this note is playing.

It might sound hackish, but it should be quick to implement, and very flexible since you can slide notes and so forth.

Yeah, that sounds pretty decent. Indeed more flexible and faster for editing and experimenting. Just keep in mind that there has to be an option to exclude drum instruments somehow... Otherwise it won't make sense... :)

Could have used this on an actual project... So just a quick reminder that this still would
be a great addition on the creative side. I guess because it is not there yet means that it is not that quick to implement at all... ;)

And could use this again:

Pushing this as one of my top FRs.
