Feature Request: Drum Sequencer Transpose

[syrupcore]

Probably been requested already but I couldn't find another thread for it.

I have different drum sample players (hardware and software) and many of them start at different drum notes. I'd really appreciate the ability to transpose the drum sequencer's starting note on a per project, pattern or on-the-fly basis.

Bonus: there's the 'practical' use case I've just outlined. But there's also a couple of musical use cases. First would be simply experimenting with shifting your whole drum pattern where you snare is now your hi-tom and you clap is now your kick. Second is if you're 'hacking' the drum sequencer for polyphonic chord/note output. On machine transposition of the drum sequence would open that possibility way up.

This would be great.  Although the default layout matches general midi convention of the gut of the kit should start at 36, but I have a lot of instruments below and above.  Like the accented kick in my RY30 is by default on 35, so I had to move it, but now it doesn't match three of my four kits on the M1.  I can edit on kit on the M1 but the rest are fixed.  Being able to edit or shift the drum map on the BSP would be wonderful.  Perhaps an app for mobile phone so plugging into a computer is not needed to adjust setting?

Great idea syrupcore, because it would (also) open door to further sonic exploration in a synth or app, not just drum machine.

Just imagine if you could make templates...

This sounds like a great thing!

I would also like to request this feature. I bought the BeatStep Pro yesterday from Sweetwater and just received it today and tried to program beats on a few older MIDI drum machines I have, and two of them were far out of range (bass drum/snare and toms were not accessible, but hats and cymbals/claps were). I was *very* surprised to find that the OCT- and OCT+ buttons when using shift did not change octaves in the DRUM mode.

+1    just got my BSP and im learning the drum sequencer is really lacking for hardware drum machines.  as far as i can tell it could all be fixed with a transpose in the drum sequencer.  but how to get the first drum sequenced to move to pad 1, second to pad 2, etc....
