How do I use Midi Translator to transpose notes? (since my keyboard won't let me shift octave registers I can route the midi thru MT on my computer)

Hi redss55

You can easily use MIDI Translator to transpose notes, but how do you want to tell MT to transpose the notes? For example, are there any buttons on your MIDI keyboard you could use as octave shift buttons, or would you use computer keyboard commands?

Does that make sense?
Thanks

I just want to load a preset which will transpose the entire keyboard down one octave. Can I do that with midi translator classic?

Yes, you can. You need one translator for every key, though, since Classic does not process Rules. With Pro you can do this with one translator, with Classic you can't. Assuming we're starting with middle C and bringing everything down one octave, you'd need translators like:

Code: Select all

That make sense?
