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

Chahur is making some adds in Pattern XP, maybe he can give better reply.

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.

Yea it does only seem to work with the major scale and modes, thanks for clearing that up Tinga!
