diatonic transpose subpattern effect?

Post by esp81 »

I'm trying to figure out how to use the diatonic transpose subpattern effect in pattern xp. :?

It lets you input the key and transpose amount, but doesn't it also need to know what scale you're using to work properly?

- pattern xp: subpattern effect 11/12 - diatonic transpose up/down (first digit = key (0=C, 1=C#, ...), second digit = amount)
- pattern xp: subpattern effect 02 - offset in rows
I suppose its only for major scale (and the six other modes)
There is also this (PEKeys.xml)
But i don't know if it has any effect on pattern XP

PEKeys.xml is not used by patternXP but by the new built-in editor if I'm not wrong (you can see it with ctrl+Q) : click on the small [K] button to show the keyboard mapping.
