Simpler
By default, Varispeed transposes the Transpose parameter of all your Simpler devices in Slicing mode to keep them in key with the rest of your song.
It’s important to use one of the exclude signs in the MIDI track’s name; otherwise, both the notes in the MIDI clips and the Simpler device pitch will be transposed
(although this can lead to interesting experiments).
If you place the MIDI effect device “Pitch” (that comes with Live) into a MIDI track and rename it to “VPitch” (case-sensitive), Varispeed will transpose it if this option is enabled.
This allows you to transpose signals coming from MIDI-generating devices like sequencers and chord generators.
You can even transpose separate Drum Rack cells that contain melodic samples by placing a VPitch device before the cell’s instrument.
To use the VPitch device, you need to have an exclude sign in the track’s name; otherwise, both the notes of the MIDI clips on the track and the MIDI information coming out of the VPitch device will be transposed.
Varispeed can transpose the Key parameter of all Serato Sample plug-ins in your project.
Note: It only works if the “Source…Offset” parameter is visible in Live. Click the “Configure” button, then press the “Key” parameter.
If you save it as a plug-in default preset, you won’t have to repeat this process when you load a Serato Sample plug-in in any of your new Live sets.
I also created a project that includes all the plug-ins Varispeed is capable of transposing, with the required parameters already visible. All you need to do is open this Live set and save the plug-ins as “Default Configuration.”
