Studio
Studio lets you connect MIDI-controller buttons or pedals to Transpose. This keeps your hands on your instrument.
- Connect the controller. Open Settings, enable MIDI shortcuts and choose Connect MIDI.
- Grant browser permission if asked and select your device.
- Choose Learn beside an action, such as Play/pause, and press the button or pedal you want to use.
- Try it out. Connect volume, speed, pitch, loops and other actions in the same way.
If a button is already assigned, Transpose asks whether to move it. You can clear an assignment anytime. The last received input shows whether your controller is recognized.
MIDI controls Transpose here; it does not record music or play a software instrument.
Available actions
Control playback, navigation, loops, markers and sound adjustments. The complete keyboard and MIDI reference lists every action alongside its default keyboard binding.
| Control | Assignment |
|---|---|
| Button or pedal | Choose an action from the reference and use Learn. |
| Volume knob | Volume control, or separate down / up actions. |
| Speed knob | Speed control, or separate down / up actions. |
| Transpose knob | Transpose control, or separate down / up actions. |
| Pitch knob | Pitch control, or separate down / up actions. |
| Formant knob | Formant control, or separate down / up actions. |
| Vocal Reducer knob | Vocal Reducer control, or separate down / up actions. |
There are no default MIDI bindings. Your controller determines which message a button or knob sends; Learn captures that message in Transpose.
Keep the Transpose window or Side open while using MIDI. A closed popup cannot receive MIDI. Manage assignments in Settings in either view.
