The Octave and Transpose buttons do the same as settings with identical names accessed via Utility mode. They shift the range of the entire keyboard (and MIDI data that’s sent), and can’t be applied selectively to a particular Part. However, there might be a way to accomplish what you want. Let’s say the Parts of your current bass/piano split are 1 and 2, and each has Receive Channel set to 1. If you copy those Parts to 3 and 4, and set their Receive Channel to 2, the original or copied split can be selected by numbered buttons [1] or [2]. If you then edit Note Shift of the piano in Part 3, selecting buttons [1] or [2] should cause the piano to shift without affecting the bass. Of course, be sure to STORE any changes you want to keep. This approach can be used with as many splits as will fit in a Song/Pattern Mixing. The Note Shift can be applied as required, up to a maximum of 24 semitones (2 octaves) up or down. |

Thanks for the reply 5pinDIN. I had thought of this approach, but the problem is that I have used up all the song PARTS. All my right hand voices are on parts 1 - 8 and the corresponding splits are on 9 - 16. I was trying to avoid having the same piano voice on 2 PARTS (one with an octave shift of course). |

Yes, well, that’s why I said that there “might” be a way.
I was thinking about whether Master mode could offer a solution.

Thanks a lot for pointing me in the correct direction. The post you mentioned was very helpful. I used zone 1 for my right hand voice and zone 2 for the left hand voice. I could shift the octave and the transpose for each zone without moving the physical split point (something I was trying to achieve in a previous post). I was also able to re-use the bass voice (on PART 16 in song mode) and combine it with the other right hand PARTs 1 - 15 (again something I was trying to achieve in a previous post). I am still working out a few quirks, but this has been very helpful. Also thanks to Bad_Mister for a detailed explanation on MASTER mode. |

You’re welcome - I’m glad things are progressing. Master mode can be very powerful, but it does take some effort to fully understand it. Hopefully any remaining quirks can be worked out. |
