Of course ! What was i thinking ?!?! 
At the same time the answer i was looking for was can i like with the digitone transpose the whole pattern at once ? @sezare56

At once with an arrangement row change only if you already prepared transposition in the arranger.

I recently switched from an Arturia Beatstep Pro to Digitakt for all my MIDI sequencing and I must say the transpose feature is the one thing I really miss.
For me, it would be sufficient if I could send MIDI notes on one channel and then the Digitakt would transpose the output of the MIDI tracks by the offset of the note compared to some reference point (I think Arturia defaults to C3, but it’s configurable)
Even better, I would like to be able to select which sample/MIDI tracks are being transposed, so if I would for example use one sample track for chords, I would like to be that one transposed as well, but obviously, my drum samples should stay as they are.
Anyway, I am enjoying my Digitakt a lot, it’s such a versatile piece of equipment, having a feature like this added would make it perfect for me.

big big booh to elektron for not supporting this device and adding basic functionality.
i bought this as a midi sequencer in the first place and i am totally underwhelmed by that aspect of the DT. i feel like we are forced into buying digitone - but i don’t want another fm synth coming with my sequenceer, but a sampler…
we really need midi track transpose, pitch bend and modulation wheel not being filtered when playing external midi gear throuh / via DT.
an easier midi routing and the abiltiy to also copy midi track settings.
of course, stereo input monitoring (w fx) would be awesome - but the midi stuff is essential to be fixed ASAP.
otherwise i will swear to never ever buy another elektron device!

couldn’t agree more with you!
This can be done
really? how? - i remeber that copiing a midi track will result in a track with midi receive channel being crossed out…
IIRC it’s done the exact same way as you would an audio track.

I found a workaround to transpose a MIDI sequence on the Digitakt, but it only works for MONO devices/sounds.
On the MIDI TRIG page, using the relative NOT2, NOT3 or NOT4 values allows in fact a transpose of the playing sound, since only the last note of the two note chord is audible, at least on my Roland SE 02 and Korg Prologue (in mono or unison mode). It does not work with polyphonic sounds and it might not work with all sounds, I have to experiment with glide settings and see if that still is a valid workaround then…

awesome trick, thanks
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME.
This trick is a freakin’ godsend.
Me and my 0-coast owe you big time, Sir!
Could someone plz explain to a complete noob with this? How do I make a “clean” jump up or down one octave with this solution? Thanks
If you hold down FUNC while turning the NOTE knob you get an octave jump. Again, this workaround only works for certain monophonic sounds. With TD-3 for example, it basically works, but it always triggers the glide effect then.
I am using the modwheel to transpose external sequences from DT to DN or any external synth.
Turn up modwheel to Pitch All to 127 at the DN. Value 12 at the modwheel corresponds to 1 Octave. You get slide pitching effect, use micotiming at the mod trigs.
You need two sequences…one with notes and another with a longer sequence running the mod transpose trick. Works for me…
Modwheel or pitchbend wheel?
IIRC I tried a pitchbend wheel to transpose samples on the Digitakt but it didn’t work.
Modwheel is CC1. You can’t remap CC’s to parameters on the dogitakt, I din’t think
Right. At the DT itself to transpose internal sequences you have to map the tune parameter CC.
You could also check if your external synth has an CC-able “octave shift” parameter, which would also work for polyphonic sounds.
Not all synths have one octave as the max pitch bend, and in a lot of them you can change the PB range, if you do transpose by PB you’ll have to configure the external synth first
yo, any chances we can get Track transpose ?
Elektron Support is your best bet if you want an answer but you must first create an account.
