HI List...
just curious if there is a MIDI cc for transposing? Quite often my live piano requires playing in different octaves depending on the tune. I'd like to set it up with a command in the opening bar if I can. I do have a transpose button on my relic XP-50 which works fine if it doesn't stick.
Can't take that chance anymore as it often won't go back and I'm pounding on the transpose switch.
thanks for any help!

Re: MIDI control change for transpose?
Probably need to look at a SysEx command rather than a Continuous Controller. If so, the command could be placed in the opening bar.

Re: MIDI control change for transpose?
Yes but...
I have two M-Audio Axiom controllers. But I rarely use them with my M3m.
I control the M3m with a Roland RS-50. And for some reason, I have
to transpose both the Roland and the M3m.
Think about pad chords. Yes -- the controller will transpose the notes
on the M3 if you play the keys. But what if you use a pad chord in your
piece along with the keys? When you do, the pads suddenly become your
controller, not the Axiom.
That's why I have to transpose both, one for the parts I play
on the keys and then I transpose the M3m for the pads.

Hi theaks2002,
Place these 3 CC in this order for transposition at the start of the measure or wherever section you need transposed:
CC Value
101 = 0
100 = 2
6 = 64
Just set each CC to about 5 ticks apart from one another.
64 = no transposition. 63 = Half step down. 64 = Half step up.
Hope this is what you're looking for.
