Notes node

Note Transpose

Shifts every note by a fixed number of semitones, with an option to snap the result to the global scale. The shift is applied once at note-on and remembered for that note, so a held note's release always lands on the matching pitch.

What it does

Note Transpose is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It takes notes in and gives notes out.

Try it

Stack two Note Transpose nodes at +12 and -12 semitones off the same MIDI source to build instant octave doubling.
