Transposing with the Project Root Key

The loops included in Cubase already contain root key information. If you change the project root key, these loops will follow automatically.

Prerequisite

You have opened a project that contains audio loops with different root keys.

Procedure

  1. Optional: Select the drum and percussion loops in your project and set the Global Transpose setting on the info line to Independent.

    This setting excludes the loops from being transposed.

  2. On the Project window toolbar, open the Project Root Key pop-up menu and set a root key for the project.

    This changes the root key for the entire project and transposes the loops to match this key.

Result

The loops follow the project root key.

After Completing This Task

Record audio or MIDI. The newly recorded events get the project root key. Change the project root key. The events with root key information follow.
