MarkGuitar Yes, but maybe some people have different singers at different gigs, so one or the other needs the song, say, a whole tone lower. If you armed your transposes correctly for each track, you just turn the pitch knob in the mixer.
If you don’t remember whether your drum track had transpose on or off, or if you left/turned it on by mistake, you would want to see that before actually transposing 🙂
Say your drums are on Track (midi standard) and transpose is off. Your indicators would the tell you: “Track 10 won’t be transposed when you turn the Pitch knob”
If you want to see whether something is currently transposed or not, you look at the Pitch knob. If it’s 0, nothing is transposed. If it’s not 0, anything which is “armed” for transposition is transposed by the amount shown there.
My suggestion was to have some sort of “led” indicator, which changes color depending on the state of transpose: ie. Red = Transpose OFF, Green = Transpose ON.
If needed, the indicator could change to, say, orange, for tracks that have been actually transposed.
Or we could have following color codes (perhaps more logical):
Red = Transpose OFF
Orange = Transpose ON
Green = Transposed
