Transpose Functions
The transpose functions for audio and MIDI in Nuendo allow you to change the pitches of audio and MIDI for playback without changing the actual MIDI notes or the audio.
Project Root Key
The Project Root Key allows you to transpose your project. Audio or MIDI events in your project use it as a reference.
Assigning the Project Root Key to Parts or Events
Some audio or MIDI events that you have created by recording, for example, might not contain root key information. If you want them to follow the transposition changes, you must set them to the Project Root Key.

Assigning the Project Root Key to Parts or Events

Some audio or MIDI events that you have created by recording, for example, might not contain root key information. If you want them to follow the transposition changes, you must set them to the Project Root Key.

Procedure

On the Project window toolbar, open the Project Root Key pop-up menu, and set a root key for the project.
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.
Select Project > Add Track > Transpose.

The transpose track is added to the track list. You can only have one transpose track in a project.
In the track list, right-click the transpose track, and select Set root key for unassigned events from the context menu.

Result

All parts or events that do not contain any root key information are set to the project root key.
