Hi Brian, Pretty sure I tried both approaches, i.e. Load pattern 1, transpose it, = save it as pattern 2, or Load pattern 1, save it as pattern 2, load = pattern 2, transpose it then save it again. I suspect that you're right = about it being real-time, which is a pain on an otherwise wonderful = device. I'll go over this again tonight and make doubly sure that I do = both approaches. Best wishes.

Thus, if you Save a sequence to a = different Pattern then it might not copy the altered data, but instead = copy the original data. Have you tried transposing pattern 2 into a different key?

The result is that pattern 1 plays as expected, but = pattern 2 isn=E2=80=99t transposed (although my other edits to it are = apparent). >>>>=20 >>>> Is this the expected behaviour? If so, it seems a little daft, as = it makes it harder to create chains that will build into a finished = piece.
