Setting the Step Grid to “Off” and then using Nudge will shift events in extremely small
increments. This can be used to creatively add groove to Patterns — for example, shift-
ing the snare drum so that it is ever so slightly late, or “in the pocket” (something a
funk drummer does naturally!).
Transpose Events and Notes
You can transpose selected events by semitones or octaves to match their pitch to your taste.
►
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.
To transpose the selected events down in octaves press SHIFT + pad 15 ( OCTAVE - ); to trans-
pose the selected events up press SHIFT + pad 16 ( OCTAVE + ). If nothing is selected, all
events in the Pattern will be affected.
