transpose bug

transpose bug

2005-01-26 by GAmoore@aol.com

Am I the only person who experiences this transpose bug?

It seems to occur like this. You open an existing sequence in the matrix editor, select all, then use your key command for transpose up/down a few steps. Then try recording something in midi to an existing midi track or virtual instrument track. They will look correct. However, when you play it, the notes will actually sound off by the same number of steps.

I noticed this on Battery 2, RMIV and an external synth. But its easiest to see if you have Battery 1 or 2, because as they notes play back they light up the cells which are playing. I was seeing a "C" in the matrix editor playback on a cell set to "D".

I checked the global transpose track and it was locked on no change.

No one else experiences this?

You are not alone!

I, too, experience a "transpose bug".  I haven't done the work to figure out exact 
circumstances prior, but just when I least expect it (and always with someone who's doing 
vocals in the room), track(s) will mysteriously change in pitch.  The notes are the same, 
and no transpose has been selected or displayed.  The part(s) go up by one or two 
semitones.

I find that quitting and restarting Logic fixes this.

I never saw this behavior with L5.5/OS9.

Cheers,
Larry

I'm glad I'm not alone and sane afterall. I first noticed this when I had the global harmony track active, and I transposed some parts even a fifth or so. Later other sequences were not sounding as played, and I saw in the transpose track that there were all kinds of changes. However, now I keep the transpose track locked and closed, but the same thing keeps happening.
