Controlling playbackChanging track settings ► Adjusting the Key/transposing a track (Key+)

Each MIDI note event has a key number, or pitch. On playback, the key offset (Key+) parameter transposes all notes in the track by the designated number of half-steps. The value can range from ‑127 to +127. A value of 12 indicates that notes will be played back one octave higher than they are written. This parameter does not affect the note number that is stored for each note event. When the clip is displayed in other views, like the Piano Roll, Staff, or Event List view, you will see the original notes as they are stored in the file. To permanently change the pitches, you can edit them individually or use the Process > Transpose command.
