Re: [analogue-sequencer] FTS on transposed patterns

2006-02-02 by Paul Nagle

Another thought on this topic (transposing).  In the transposed part, I 
tend to change the root and sometimes the scale itself. So if I'm in C 
aeo and I transpose up 5 semitones, I would always change the root to F 
so it's truly F aeo. Or indeed FMaj. Of course this can be odd when I 
have both my P3s in sync and I forget to change the slaved one...

The new method using Func is interesting and gives a quite different 
colour to your sequence. I think both offer a lot of scope.

Actually, a lot of my favourite sequences are done by programming in one 
key then simply changing the root afterwards. It can give a great 
"unresolved" feeling that adds a degree or urgency or doubt. When you 
then change back to the "proper" key in performance, you can actually 
feel yourself sighing in relief. Funnily enough, most people sigh in 
relief when I hit "stop".
