Quick Transpose (Feature Request)

[Shoontz]

On other Electribes you can quickly transpose a sequence in keyboard mode by holding shift and pressing a new key.
something like this on the Electribe 2 would open up ### real-time performance tremendously.

This is one of the first things I wanted to add. I haven't hacked any of the menus or controls yet, so no idea how difficult it will be to implement. There is a lot of interaction between different processes when a control is changed, it's difficult to hijack at a single point. I'm going to make a lot of things configurable via SysEx before working out the UI.

For now, you may be able to do read-modify-write on the pattern file via SysEx without interrupting the audio. Would definitely need to use USB MIDI, TRS is too slow.

bangcorrupt, I could kiss you! Thank you for all your hard work!

man, just use the KEY menu item to transpose the one you're in... i mean, it's even available as a shortcut via shift+numpad :D

[Shoontz]

Hey ecco00, it's just not the same. Having transpose work as it does on the older Electribes or the Beatstep would be such a killer real-time performance feature. I think you'd probably have to use them to appreciate what a step backwards transpose is on the E2.

can't see much difference, the only issue i see is the menu dive needed, but it could be mitigated with custom shortcuts (in the works, as i understand) via shift+padnum, do you agree?

You can see in this video how transpose used to work on the Electribes at about the 23-minute mark in this video. :-) https://youtu.be/O_3pnbTq26o?t=1436
