In the control splits SOURCE menu, select the CC value of the knob you are using. Just go into ableton, jump into map mode, map it to the transpose button, and remember the channel and cc value. Now you need to know what midi channel and CC value the knob you are going to use for your transpose is. Once you have that set up, toss in a CONTROL SPLIT. Well open up midi pipe, and make sure you have your ins and outs all set up correctly (look at my tutorial about mapping the VCM 600 w/ Launchpad to get more info, and omit the channel routing part, that will explain how to set up midipipe). This is VERY VERY handy, and I use my transpose button on EVERY sample when improv jamming. This way, you can always find match the key of a sample, yet it doesnt go as far as +48 - 48 like normally set in ableton. 0 being the middle, -6 is a half octave down, + 6 is a half octave up. Since moving a sample too far from its original state using BEATS warping mode (maintaining its key but speed only changed) sounds bad, I like my parameters to go -6, +6.because within a whole octave of sound.there are 12 notes. So what I have done is determined the parameters of the transpose within midipipe, and then my knob correlates with it. For some reason, when you MAP OUT the transpose, you have no control over the distance variable of the transpose (like you do with most options within ableton). You may ask, "Why do you need midipipe then?" That brings me to problem 2. But what is nice, is that if you have another button that highlights tracks for you.like clip view (i have one on each channel of my VCM 600).you can then control the transpose of that particular clip. One being that you can only GENERALLY assign a knob to CLIP VIEW transpose, and not each clip. ![]() But for those of you improving, or wanting to save a little bit of time when dealing with many samples, this method will help you. Now, if you want to mouse over the transpose and do it every time, that is fine.and this tutorial will be of no use to you. Not only your melodies and basses, but its also important to tune all of your drums too. When trying to make music more quickly and efficiently, it is essential to be able to change a clips KEY to match the rest of the music. ![]() One of them being the fact that you cannot define the parameters of the transpose button within clip view, nor can you individually map different buttons to different clip transpose buttons. There are a few options within ableton that just seem stupid in my opinion.
