MV-8800 Owner’s Manual

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.

Parameters to specify

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.

For details on all of the parameters and values of the Transpose command, refer to “TRANSPOSE popup”
(Screen Guide; p. 43).

The Note Range parameter is available if you accessed the TRANSPOSE popup from the SEQUENCE EDIT
screen.
Transposing notes (Transpose)

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”.
