This is a feature that most analog sequencers do not have and more consideration should be given
to it when programming the sequences.
Real-time transposing: Menu pages 7 - 11
The POLYMORPH permits the real-time transposition of the programmed sequences from a
connected keyboard. The MIDI transpose channel is freely programmable. Furthermore, you can
reduce the keyboard range that will control the transposing.
On menu page 7 you can adjust, which of the four parts are going to react to the real-time
transposing. Select the desired part with help from [SEL-1-4] and turn the "real-time transpose"
(RT-Trnsp) on or off.
Edit P1 Sequence
<7> RT-Trnsp: ON
The activated parts will be transposed in real-time, when the corresponding note arrives on the
Transpose midi channel.
On menu page 8 you set the lowest and on menu page 9 the highest note which is to be
recognized as a transpose value:
Edit P1 Sequence
<8> Lowkey: C2
Edit P1 Sequence
<9> Highkey C5
The notes in between these two borders will be obtained for transposing. If the transpose midi
channel corresponds with one of the four parts of the POLYMORPH, notes on the outside of the
range are used to play as normal tones. The notes inside of this range are not used to play as
normal notes. So you can program a keyboard split, that on the upper octaves is for the transposing
of the sequences, while on the left side of the keyboard you play the POLYMORPH.
On menu page 10 you can choose which note in the transpose range makes the original pitch of
the sequences audible. When you use the upper octaves of the keyboard for the transpose range
this does not mean that you have to shift 3 octaves upward to play. Using the initial setting of the
original button you can put the original pitch or selected distances from these and put them in the
transpose range.
Edit P1 Sequence
<10> Origin: C3
You can place the original pitch between C0 and C9 on any chosen button.
On menu page 11 you set the MIDI channel, which is to receive the transpose data:
Edit P1 Sequence
<11> RT-Chan:5
Any MIDI channel between 1 and 16 can be chosen as RT channel (real-time transpose channel).
