Changing key without affecting drums

Post by Alinaft »

Hi there,

I recorded a MIDI piano part and I would like to know how to change the key without it affecting my programmed drum loops.

Thanks in advance!

Absolutely!

If you're working with drums you've programmed on an Instrument track, open the Sound tab and make sure your drums are set to "Transpose" and not "Use Project Key".

This drum clip will change notes when you change project key:
