Analogue-sequencer

>>I feel like I must be missing something obvious here, but am looking
for a way to transpose the sequencer's output in real time via MIDI. I
have used the Xpose parameter, changing numerically the value....<<

gary, have you tried this?: set your p3 up as you have been doing, so
that all the bits you want to transpose are going to be transposed by,
say, track 8. then set the length of a pattern in track 8 to one step.
then put it into live-record mode. hey presto. you can transpose using
 the keyboard. oh, & track 8 is muted while all this is going on.

I use a variation of this technique whereby only some of the notes on
the other tracks get transposed, so that the overall "key" (I use the
term loosely) of a composition is dragged around by what I'm playing
on the keyboard. sometimes I might use more than one step, or arpeggio
mode.... I play chords on track 8's channel, which pass through the p3
& are heard, but are also recorded into a pattern on track 8 as an
arpeggio (which isn't heard) for the other tracks to pinch notes
from... you get the idea.

what I'd like colin to add is not just a master midi-transpose, but
something that can also alter the scale that everything is FTS'd to-
PC to select user-scales? then, using the two together, you'd be able
to effect genuine key changes.
you'll know what I mean if you've ever "transposed" a maq- it just
adds or subtracts the same number of semitones from each note, which
isn't very musical. at least the p3 forces the new notes to adhere to
the same scale, but sometimes that's not quite right for a piece either.
