Global Root Note change via Keyboard

[undiagnosed66]

What is the problem?

Although the sequencer has been improved for a better melodic solutions on the generative side I reckon that a Root Note transposing option woud boost the melodic programming hugely as the only way now is to use an external Keyboard or external sequence

What do you want to achieve?

Transposing root Note of the patterns altogether via a master track ( chosen ) or an option to use the side keyb while recording

Are there any workarounds?

Not that I’m aware, as the Root Note is tied to the whole performance/Song

Any links to related discussions?

Other accepted/open wishes regarding the scales functionality:

Custom user scales, that can be microtonal

Allow users to add custom tonal or microtonal scales i.e. the Colundi scale. Given that the Play already supports microtune, this wish seems technically possible, and it would make Polyend Play one of a kind go-to device for artists who wish to go beyond conventional tones. What is the problem? At the moment we can only use preprogrammed scales in the device. There’s a good list of scales, we can use them or not, but there is no way to add custom scales. What do you want to achieve? Ability…

Set scale for a range of steps

On the Play, the current scale filter applies to the entire project. However, it is common to use different scales, keys and modes within a song. The ability to set Scale on range of steps within a Pattern will generate much more interesting musical content with Randomize and Chance. What is the problem? Scale filter applies to the whole song. Hence notes generated with 1 Octave and 2 Octave in Randomize and also random notes in Chance sound less musically interesting, almost like a one-chor…

Scale per track on Play

What is the problem? Currently, the Scale setting on the Play is a global setting. What do you want to achieve? The option to set Scale per track. This would be immensely useful in certain scenarios. For example, a user would like to be able to generate spontaneous melodic ideas quickly using the Play’s features but enabling global Scale filters out certain note ranges which then makes it impossible to send certain note values to a source (for example a drum machine that is expecting a chromati…

Hey hey @undiagnosed66, i’ve added three accepted wishes to your description since they are related to the scales functionality.

From my understanding, none of those propose the exact same thing, so we’ll definitely continue reviewing this wish. Unless you tell me otherwise of course

Thanks, yep similar but setting a single track ( no matter what ) as master root note will probably be easy to achieve than setting scale x pattern? nevertheless it would be ace
