Any body know if this is possible on a 2000 og? I was goin through the 3000 manual and it stated in order to transpose a drum track you switch it to midi, transpose then go back to drum. I tried do it and the sound no longer plays.

"The Editing Screen

The editing screen allows you to copy an entire event within a sequence.
It is also possible to rearrange the tracks, transpose, or set
the preferences of a newly created sequence.

To display the editing screen, press EDIT [F2] in the main screen.

Copying an Event
First the event copy screen is displayed on the editing screen.
Set the range of the event copy source in the left window and set the
copy destination in the right window.

Here it is possible to copy all of the events recorded in a sequence, but
necessary to set a random pad for the drum track and a note range for
the MIDI track.
uLeft Window

- Sq:
Select the copy source sequence. Here, only the sequence number
will appear.

- Tr:
Select the copy destination track. Here, only the track number will
appear.

- Time:
Set the range of the event you want to copy.

- Note:
Set the note of the copy destination. A pad number will appear if
the track is set to a drum track, and a note range will appear if the
track is set to a MIDI track. It is possible to directly set the destination
from a drum pad or MIDI keyboard."

I know how to transpose MIDI tracks, and I've got my MPC manual open on p. 70, but I still got ask.

I got a drum track that I'd like to slow down -10. Can I do this without manually editing each step or tuning each drum hit in PARAMS. I.e. can I transpose that drum track like I would a MIDI track?

Try 16 levels tuning on your kick sample. Then choose and play your kicks in varying pitches on the 16 pads.

2 is the way I've been doing it for years. And I use that 16 levels method all the time, too. Not really a biggie. But sometimes I've got 3 banks worth of chops, and it would've been nice to tune them all up real quick and try out different pitches.
