Transposing in Logic

Transposing in Logic

2005-03-28 by tim_trax

In every midi program I've used for years,  You can select  certain tracks and transpose 
them.  I mean really transpose them, not display or play them differently.  How do you 
achieve this in Logic? (without opening each track individually and transposing)
As far as I can figure (after trying for 2 years)  the only way to transpose data on a track is 
open the track,   go to the functions-transform box  and transpose away - or just select all 
and move them one track at a time.     i just believe a program this advanced would make 
you transpose in this manner.  BTW  reading the 'transpose" section of the help files is 
utterly useless.

G'day Tim,

One way: first part = select the sequence(s) you wanna transpose and 
adjust the Transpose parameter in the Sequence Parameter Box (near the 
top left of the Arrange window).

This, as you've noted, only transposes the notes non-destructively, i.e. 
for display and playback purposes. So, next step = normalize the 
sequence(s). This can be done with a key command (default = N) or 
Arrange window -> MIDI -> Region Parameters -> Normalize (with a few 
options if desired).

Another way (there're usually a few ways t'do things in Logic) is to 
select all the sequences that need to be transposed, open a Transform 
window (main Windows menu, or default key command = Command-4) and do 
the same as you've been doing one track at a time from an editor window.

HTH.


Cheers,   Bill

Yup, but your email header has the following info in it (in Outlook Express: File->Properties->Details):

And to make it on-topic (not!): there are quite a few Logic users in 
Melbourne too! :-)

Too right!

G'day from North Melbourne! Famous for gratutious self-promotion.

ENGINE! Onstage 11PM with the PING PONG BITCHES (UK)!
