Realtime FTS not being carried over into recorded steps

[phillwilson]

Hi all,

 

I have just got my MIDIbox SeqV4 out of storage and am re-familiarising myself with it...stuck on one thing all night...

 

I have got FTS set to "on" and " C minor melodic" which lets me play all the white keys to get a nice minor scale...

 

BUT

 

when I record into the sequencer  in realtime mode, the notes that are played at the next loop around IGNORE the FTS settings and play back as is I had input C Major, I have tried with just individual notes etc and have determined that it is ignoring the FTS settings upon playback).... WHY !!!

 

I can't think of a good reason why anyone would want to play live in one scale but have it play back in another? help !!!

 

thanks

Phill

Not sure if you need to create a Transpose track... Kind of struggling with the concept as well...

I've still not found a solution to this...I almost KNOW I am missing something, I can't see why anyone would logically WANT to play in one key and then have that play back in another...free jazz???

 

help us TK , you're our only hope :)

there's an FX defeat function buried in the trigger menu, I imagine so that drum notes don't get pushed around by the FTS. have you got that enabled on the steps somehow?

I'm a complete noob on the midiseq but I have a mahoosive collection of h/w sequencers...

also- in the fx/scale menu, at the far left it should say global. if it doesn't, then you are in a mode where each of the track groups can have a different root & scale set.
