Setting the Step Grid to “Off” and then using Nudge will shift events in extremely small incre-
ments. This can be used to creatively add groove to Patterns — for example, shifting the snare
drum so that it is ever so slightly late, or “in the pocket” (something a funk drummer does natural-
ly!).
Transpose Events and Notes
You can transpose selected events by semitones or octaves to match their pitch to your require-
ments.
1.
To transpose the selected events down in semitones press SHIFT + pad 13 ( SEMI-
TONE - ); to transpose the selected events up press SHIFT + pad 14 ( SE ). If
nothing is selected, all event/notes in the Pattern will be affected.
2. To transpose the selected events down in octaves press SHIFT + pad 15 ( OCTAVE - ); to
transpose the selected events up press SHIFT + pad 16 ( ). If nothing is select-
ed, all events in the Pattern will be affected.
