Following describes something that doesn't exist yet:

To save note-shift that only affects one Performance could use adding PART Note Shift as a destination. Using this hypothetical feature, you would tie a PART assignable knob to the new "Note Shift" (PART) destination. Then tie all PART assignable knobs which are tied to note shift to a common assignable knob. De-link this common knob from superknob. Then save the value of the common assignable knob when you want to change keys (and save this change in the Performance).

This sounds more complicated and time-consuming (more steps) than the currently available method of going to the Note Shift page to change a Part, then doing the same with each additional part (using the pop-up menu in the lower left corner), and saving.

Solutions exist... you just have to resolve to make them work for YOU.

Well, I do have a solution for me, which is to transpose the parts and store the performance. For some I actually have different performances in the different keys. But since I select the performances from an iPad application, that in turn requires to have the songs twice and adapt the playlist etc. Still, it works for me, the feature request is - I believe - a small change which would my life easier and apparently that of others which just expected a means to note shift the whole performance with one setting to exist.

Note that I understand that not all parts should be note shifted in some cases. Makes a lot of sense for me but mostly for drum parts. Funny enough, the global note shift does exactly what I would expect - it does not shift the drums. Just perfect. So the feature request is very simple: Make the global note shift storable with the performance. No complicated explanation needed, fortunately...

Need help? That's why we’re here!

Thanks, that's always appreciated!

Sorry, but I don’t think you have that right. If you NOTE SHIFT and a Drum Kit is involved, the results are that the drums are, same as normal Parts, tuned differently.

They are still Tone Generator, so if you Note Shift everything +7 steps (musical fifth), your snare, kick, toms, cymbals, all “munchkinize”... why this is “exactly” what you expected, is curious. I would think most would find this disturbing and would not want this to happen. (You included... let us know).

Well, by definition, global settings are not performance-specific, you can't save a global setting into a performance, it wouldn't be global anymore. And it's useful that way too, because when you do a global note shift, you can change to another Performance and maintain the same key transposition when need be. But, sure, a version of that at the Performance Common level could obviously be a bit of a timesaver in some situations as well.

Sorry, you are completely right. I tested this with some perforrmance arp patterns and did not hear the shift. And yes, I find that most disturbing. Thus the global note shift is for me pretty now pretty useless. What a pity... But I guess my feature request stays clear.

Completely agree.
