Recently, there was some discussion concerning unforeseen consequences of transposing MIDi events within objects when key switches outside the playing range of an instrument are concerned. Since Samplitude lacks the ability to filter notes out of an object transposition selection, I suggest the following:
1. If your object contains key switches which are assigned to keys outside the playing range of your MIDi keyboard, such that you have to access them by changing the octave of your MIDi keyboard, you will have to account for these when you transpose an entire MIDi object because there is as yet no way to eliminate the key switches when transposing the object. The solution, near as I can tell, and I haven’t tested this, is this. 2. Before you transpose your object, take note of the MIDi note and number of the key switch or switches involved. 3. Let’s say that you have a key switch at C0 and another at D0. Let’s say that you have transposed the MIDi object up a perfect 4th making your key switches F0 and G0. 4. I would suggest going to the first instance of your new F0 and choosing the command to select all notes of same pitch. Right now, it isn’t clear what that command is in the v4 scripts because none is working. 5. In the hypothetical case of a perfect 4th transposition, down arrow 5 times and your F0 becomes C0 again. Now, do the same with your G0s, converting them to D0s once more. Now, here is a complication. Let’s say that you are dealing with an advanced string part which invokes, say, five different key switches. In this case, you have to take care not to transpose any key switches back to their original key in such a way that they collide with temporarily transposed key switches with which you have not yet dealt by putting them back in their original place. In this case, the solution is probably to take care to return your transposed key switches in reverse order of transposition. For example, if you transposed your key switches up a perfect 4th along with the entire object, you would want to start returning your key switches beginning with the lowest key switch. In such a case, you would begin by transposing any key switch currently at F0 to C0. Any switch at G0 would be D0, and so on. Similarly, if you transposed down, you would return your switches by transposing up beginning with the highest key switch.
