Is there an easy way to change the key of the entire song. I am setting up song chords to play with the bindings and switches. If the other musicians want to move it up or down a semitone or two what do you do? The edit page allows changes per chord, but is there a global setting I am missing.
Thanks for sharing the existing methods in Scaler. I am using Cantabile as a Live Host which has midi transpose options for changing the entire song more easily.
Once you have imported the key chords of your song into Scaler, via the detect feature perhaps, you can change the scale of the chords in Scaler like so…
to me that approach makes sense (changing in A and moving variations into C), because this way you can have multiple different versions (transpositions) in parallel and compare them easily how they sound.
Unfortunately the current version of Scaler (2.8.1) does not allow you to do this through a transpose button (the padlock). However, there are two work-arounds for this.
The first is that if you have a short sequence in a single pattern you can use the method described in
for transposing patterns in Section C using the EDIT page.
However, if you have a longer sequence the is sped over two or more patterns in Section C the easiest method is to save the patterns to your User folder, Clear the Scaler State and then load the patterns back from your User folder and you should now be able to transpose the pattern that is in Section A.
