Changing the Root Key of Individual Audio Events
You can change or set the root key information for individual audio events or parts in the Pool.
PROCEDURE
1. Select Media> Open Pool Window.
2. Open the View/Attributes pop-up menu, and activate the Root Key option.
The Key column is displayed in the Pool window.
3. Click the Key column for the audio event or part that you want to assign a different root
key to, and select a key from the pop-up menu.
RESULT
The root key of the audio event or part is changed. The corresponding audio file however,
remains unchanged. If you change the project root key, the audio events or parts keep their own
root key settings, and are transposed to match the Project Root Key.
NOTE
You can also assign root keys in the MediaBay.

Save the root key in the audio file by selecting the audio event in the event display, and by
selecting Audio> Bounce Selection.

line.
PROCEDURE

2. In the Project window info line, click Root Key and select a key from the pop-up menu.

The root key of the MIDI part is changed. If you change the project root key, the MIDI parts keep
their own root key settings, and are transposed to match the Project Root Key.
Transpose Track
The transpose track allows you to transpose the entire project or sections of it. This function is
useful if you want to create harmonic variations.
For this function to work, you must add transpose events. These transpose events allow you to
transpose specific sections of your project in semitones.
EXAMPLE
If your singer does not reach a certain pitch, you can transpose the entire project by adding a
transpose track and creating a transpose event with the value -2 semitones. After recording, set
the transpose event back to 0.
