transpose assign

[mhack]

I have assigned "Transpose" to foot switch. It is used in lieu of  - and + button on the SX900 keyboard panel. I lowered the setting to -5. At the point in the recording of a song where I need to
Transpose to -4, (1 semitone) a push the footswitch and, sense it is in - mode, it moves to -6. Of course. So, knowing that, I have tried to figure out how to "Raise" a negative numer to a higher
Negative number. -5 to -4. I must be doing something dumb, (what else?). What am I missing?
Thanks

I have been through both of my Pedal settings and can't find a Transpose section in either of them.

On a Genos, there are separate assignments for Transpose+ and Transpose-. You just have to assign Transpose+ to the pedal. Hopefully, it's the same on an SX.

Manually set the transposition to -5, set into a registration and save. Set the foot switch to Transpose + and press when required.

Perhaps a better way would be to manually set up Registration 1 with transpose at -5, Registration 2 at -4 and so on, building up a bank of registrations for the song and save it. Then use the foot switch in Registration Sequence mode to step through the registrations.

Hi Eileen,
The Transpose -/+ functions (assignable to pedals or Assignable buttons) can be found in the "Overall" category of the Assignable functions.


@mhack
Hi Mike,
The Transpose -/+ functions that you assigned to pedals in the Assignable display work the same as the Transpose -/+ panel buttons. "Transpose -" always shifts the pitch down one semitone, "Transpose +" always shifts the pitch up one semitone, starting from the current pitch.

Note that this function (just like the "Transpose -/+" panel buttons) can affect "Keyboard", "Song" or "Master" (= Keyboard & Song), depending on the last setting made under "Menu > Transpose" (or in the Transpose pop-up menu).


Best regarts,
Chris

Thanks to all! I will attack the problem again tomorrow.

Manually set the transposition to -5, set into a registration and save. Set the foot switch to Transpose + and press when required. That worked! Thanks, Andy! Assignable-Transpose.!!
