Hi, I recently bought EDIROL PCR-800 MIDI keyboard for live performance with laptop PC. (with REAPER).
However, this multifunctional MIDI keyboard does not have a transpose button.
I think this is a major design flaw. I can not play without transposing.
Since there is no way, I decided to use another button as a transpose button.
EDIROL PCR-800 has MIDI pads that can assign CCs and MIDI notes.
I want to use a part of this MIDI PAD as a transpose button.
I want to use only two MIDI pads for transpose.
One is as transpose +1.
Another is as transpose -1.
When I want to get +5 transposition, I tap "transpose +1" button five times.
I need this kind of function.
Is there a MIDI effect etc. to realize this function?
It is certain that the MIDI pads can emit any CCs or MIDI NOTEs.
And, I know how to assign MIDI signals to VST parameters in Reaper.
But I can not find exact MIDI effects for this purpose.
I'm currently using a MIDI knob as Transpose knob.
(I am using Reaper's parameter modulation.)
But I can not be satisfied with this method.
It is hard to operate and lacks reliability.
I want to transpose one semitone at a time with a reliable button.
