Cheers, I recently aquired a Nord Lead 1 synthesizer and so far I like it.

However tha band I play with tends to perform coversongs in a slightly lower tune than the original.

How can I transpose the Nord Lead -2 ?

PS. I also have a Hammond XK-1 and a Moog Opus-3 and they are no problem transposing, just twist a knob

I suppose you weren't performing in the original band? And the transpose isn't just tuning, but more than one half tone difference?
If so, just play it in the other key
If you want to tune it - play along with the original, use [Shift+tune] and use the curser up and down to tune it.

There are tools using Midi which are able to add or abstract a certain values in MidiNotes, so playing in C (only white keys) one can produce the key of A...

Thank's for your advice!

[Shift+tune] and curser down works and took me one half (-1?) tone down but to stay in tune with the band I need to go another -1 down, they cheat

I'll look further, I found some more detail on the Midi-subject you mention that might be useful, sounds complex though.
