Transpose a bar?

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four
#1

Hey everyone!
I’m sorry if I’m missing something or if I’m not wording it right, but is it possible to transpose a single bar out of a many bar loop? (edit: it’s also called a Page in Elektron wording I suppose)

The use case for that is simple, I want to expand the pattern by extending it with a version of it that’s transposed in scale. How do I do that?

Thanks a bunch and sorry if it’s a wrong place to ask or anything. Peace!

I’d copy just that page to an empty pattern (page+copy / page+paste)
transpose
then reverse the copy paste etc

Alternatively - i believe if you have different notes across a page you can relatively shift those if selected in groups

so hold a bunch of note trigs and transpose to taste - they should all shift up/down

try first on a new pattern to get the technique down

You can, with multi map controling transpose.

So it’s impossible to do that while playing? I’m trying to figure out what should I learn to do fast to become fluent at making music at A4 instead of breaking the pace and starting moving things around…

I’m sorry but what does multi map have to do with transposing just one page (aka bar) out of many? Maybe I miss something, would be glad if you explain. Thanks!

from another sequencer, you can sequence the transposition with multi map.

Kind of “hack” or skill… I’m using the cv track to sequence the transposition…
Nice unknow thing
