Wow, what a question.

Use change ups in different sequences.
Vary your pad banging in your sequences.
Song mode is a chain of several sequences, use different sounding seqs.
Think man, think.

So I and many others don't have to guess, explain your situation and
exactly what you are trying to do in DETAIL or else we will be going round and round and 1 or both of us will end up frustrated and pissed off.

okay lets say your playing an 8 bar track and you have the first 4 bars in one key and now you wanna play the second 4 bars in a key below the one you played the 4 bars before how did you do that

What is this key, like a kybd multisample, just a sample, or what.
If it's a sample, you can tune down can't you? If it's a multisample can you tune down the whole program it's in or what?

I'm still having trouble differentiating a "key" per your explanation.

i think hes talking about going from a musical key to another, for instance going from d major to b minor.

the answer is, you have to have samples in those keys that you want to switch to, you can pitch up and down, but its very hard if not impossible to turn some notes into other ones.

you need to start with the samples.

Ok got it.

When pitching or transposing, the further it's tweaked the more unnatural it will sound.

copy your entire program [place the cursor over the program you want to copy and then press the WINDOW button to copy it]... then place that program you just copied onto it's own track and start editing it... it sounds like you just want to change the pitch of the program, so go into the program screen and pitch your samples accordingly until they sound right to you... use the first program for the first 4 bars and then play the 2nd one for the last 4 bars... at least i think that's what you're trying to do...
