RICHARD HUTCHINS 34 Posted December 2, 2020 Hi I have inserted the SI plugin to Cakewalk and I use my Juno synth as a trigger, ( I dont have a bass guitar) but some notes are sounding a tone higher on the recording track than the ones I play on the keyboard. . So a scale of D comes through as a nice bass sound but the C note is sounding as a B! I'm sure there's a basic reason for this but as a novice what am I doing wrong?

Cactus Music 1,551 Posted December 2, 2020 Possibly the Juno has a Transpose function on the midi output? Cakewalks midi tracks also have a built in transpose but you'd have to have set it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RICHARD HUTCHINS 34 Posted December 2, 2020 Yes, it seems to have nailed it that's the problem, thanks. I think the transpose button(which I used to stay in D major) has messed up the tuning. I'll play it in C instead, gives me something to concentrate on playing the same song in 2 keys! Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cactus Music 1,551 Posted December 3, 2020 I try not to cheat and use Transpose button but sometimes it's a good thing. But If I don't shut everything off I often forget I did that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msmcleod 3,422 Posted December 3, 2020 The SI Bass plugin is transposed by an octave (i.e. when you play C3, a C2 sounds). I guess the idea was that the notes were more accessible for playing with a smaller ranged keyboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cactus Music 1,551 Posted December 3, 2020 Ample Bass does the same. I think the Basses in Dim Pro too, Because I can switch these 3 around without transposing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
