Transpose on the Fly
My transpose keys always went under used, and I found myself remapping them to something more 'useful'. However, when I was at work I would only have my axiom 25 so.. the transpose keys became more important. I started to 'play' the transpose keys in time and found it to be pretty fruitful in terms of discovering new ways to explore musical ideas.

I went into this thinking it was going to be lame. I was completely wrong. I feel stupid for overlooking something so simple! Great vid. I guess I didn't expect it to be Octave transposition

Re: Transpose on the Fly
Hi Guys...created a follow up post with a piano with delays to create an even more embellished and 'grand' effect (no pun intended)

Re: Transpose on the Fly
Had another listen, really like the effect.
Just a personal view, I think it would sound even better if you had an increased decay so the 2nd/3rd sounds drop off quicker.
Then you can hear the melody more clearly. I'm not talking a huge drop, just enough to stop the verb/delay overpowering the first key and the subsequent melody notes.
Am I making sense?
By the way, I listened to the strings with knobs lol. Performance-wise wouldn't a fader be better? Seems more intuitive or maybe you were trying to make it difficult to play

Re: Transpose on the Fly
Hey Housemunky, I follow you 100%. The push and pull is getting enough delay that provides a mini metronome without being to overbearing... will play. As for strings and knobs, or any of the lush quartet videos you've seen, I think the knob is far more intuitive to play than a fader. It has a better 'back' and forth feel and I appreciate the butter like feel on the apc40
Re: Transpose on the Fly
mmmmm, butter.
