Transpose Automation

Post by skent » Sun Jan 04, 2009 7:00 pm

I have a rex bass loop where I want to automate transposition of the track. Is there a way to do this on a specific clip so I can have the bass line follow the lead as the song progresses?

Basically I have the bassline starting out without changing and then as the song progresses I want the bass line to transpose up and down 3.

Thanks

UKRuss, I use your method to automate transposition, works like a charm.

but does anyone know why the transposition value itself isn't mappable or available for automation? why do we have to use a reacharound to get it to work? anyone?

UK russ,

No idea what you are talking about. In the envelope tab all I have is volume and transpose. Gain, offset and flux are there but grayed out. I do not see pitch anywhere in the sample edit area for the clip.

Thanks for any more information.
