I like being able to trigger a sequence of notes with a key on the controller keyboard (for example a note sequence can be assigned to middle C). This is one of my favorite features. However, I would also like it to transpose the sequence if I hit a different note. For example, if I hit the D key above C, it transposes the sequence up one step. Or if I hit the B key below C, it transposes it down one half step.

Think of the possibilities. You could automate your rhythms while manually holding down notes. Great for following your inspiration.

You can already do this. When in MIDI assign mode, press a second key on your keyboard, while you hold the first one, and a note range will be assigned to trigger the clip.
The triggered clip will be transposed according to the note you play.

Holy crap, you're right! dr.wackler you are freakin' a god.

Also check out the possibilities when you set the clip launch mode to 'Gate' instead of 'Trigger':
Playing legato will transpose the clip while it keeps running, playing staccato will retrigger the clip.

I can't believe I didn't inquire about this sooner. I need to spend more time on the forums.
