Transpose all clips in drum pad

Post by CtrlC » Tue Dec 22, 2009 12:42 am

Is it possible to do this without clicking on each individual slice and transposing them on by one? I'm sure there must be an easier way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

1) Double click the slot you stuck the sample in
2) Check the "Pitch" box
3) Adjust the "Transp.", "Detune" or "Env" amount to your taste

or am i missing something here?

I don't know if this would be of any use but pitchbend might work.

Transpose one, then right click and select "Copy Value to Siblings"

putting a pitch device wouldn't work since that would just trigger a different sample..i think copy value to siblings is a good idea

indeed putting a pitch Fx will simply lead the drum rack to play another "row" of samples

Very useful with a fulfilled DrumRack, when you want to jump to another 16soundbank :wink:
