Nick_M Junior Member Registered: 11/28/00 Posts: 18 Loc: Waukesha, WI, USA	I have a Yamaha PSR740 and I am curious if there is any way to permanently transpose a midi song with my keyboard rather than always having to change it manaually everytime I play the song? I do not have any experience with any midi software, so if this can only be done by software on my PC, please recommend a very simple free software program (if one exists). Thanks for all your help. Nick

I edit midi files with cakewalk, but transpose with vanbasco because it doesn't seem to trash the patches, and still sounds the same transposed.

Nick_M Junior Member Registered: 11/28/00 Posts: 18 Loc: Waukesha, WI, USA	Beakybird & Lynn, Thanks for your responses. Lynn, I just downloaded Vanbasco's midi/karaoke player (version 2.52) and I can see that you can change keys while playing the file but it appears that you can't save the new settings with the file other than in the playlist. On the FAQ section of their website, it says that the original file can not be altered with this program and to use a sequencer like Jazz++. Maybe I'll give Jazz++ a try. Thanks again for your help.
