transpose.

Post by Flange » Tue Feb 16, 2016 10:38 pm

I have a C note and when I transpose up one semitone in the clip view I get a D#. Not sure why. Maybe I am just crap at music theory but isn't D# 3 semitones?
DAW - Ableton 10. System - Windows 10. Interface - Fireface UC

Yeah - that sounds odd, mate. You're not locked into any sort of scale, like a "blues" scale or something?

Thanks, I sorted this out. I think I must have played the note wrong :lol:
