Project Key control
This feature makes it possible to use media that are in different keys in the same project: each loop that has a specified root note is
transposed to the key indicated by the Project Key control.
For example, if three loops have root notes of A, B, and C, and your Project Key control is set to D, the loops are pitch-shifted by five,
three, and two semitones, respectively.
Note:
If the root note for a track is set to Don’t Transpose in the Clip Properties window, the track does not pitch shift with the rest of the
project.
Working with tempo/key/time signature change markers
Tempo/key/time signature change markers allow you to make changes to the tempo, key, and/or time signature at specified points in
your project.
Note:
Time signature changes must occur on the first beat of a measure.
