Changing the chord/notes in a duplicated loop

[ronaldjose]

Hi Folks,
I am new to Pro Tools and struggling a bit. I am recording multiple midi tracks in a session. I have input the drums and rythm session. What I have done is played a bass pattern for one bar into a midi track. The notes are in the scale of C. I have then duplicated this region/loop for 118 bars and now want to change the notes in the scale of Dm and F at various bars of the song. How do I do this? Kindly help as I do not want to play the bass for the entire song as I make mistakes.

Pitched Tracks by default is enabled for MIDI/Instrument tracks. Key Change (Start click) Key Signature Ruler. Check 'Edit Pitched Tracks', 'Transport' and 'Constrain Pitches to Key' then change the relevant options based on the Region selection.

Page 700 'Key Signatures' Reference Guide has more information defining these options.

Thanks mate for your quick reply. Just a quick question to follow up. I went to Event>Add Key Change and selected Gminor chordthen selected "Edit Pitched Tracks", tranpose up and diagonally. However, it does not sound like the minor chord that the keyboard plays. Am I doing something wrong here. Also, I have unchecked the Drum tracks from being pitched tracks.

The Chord Conductor Ruler is a reference display only, sadly.
