Is there any technical reason why the Transpose is limited to +/- 12?
In the interests of efficiency (laziness) it would be great if I could use one MOD and have 2 or more octaves of transpose.
Part of the reason is this (bear with me) - the MIDI standard says middle C is raw number 60. What it does NOT say is whether 60 is C3, C4, or C5.
It depends of course on whether the device starts numbering octaves from C0, C -1, or C- 2.
I have one sequencer that uses a default note value of C3. Most of the synths it talks to sound better when it's set to C5. If I could drop a 2 octave transpose on the MRCC for that route, I can make small tweaks on the sequencer without having to go into every step of every track and adjust it up 2 octaves.
I also have a special case where I need between 51 and 58 semitones of transpose and I hate using up most of the MOD slots just transposing.
