How can I transpose the keyboard

[fyofranz]

So far I've seen how to use transpose mode with a sequencer, but I would like to know how to shift the keyboard itself to a different key.

So for example when I play middle C I would like the keyboard to send the note for G etc. This would not be related to the sequencer, but would affect all keys on the keyboard when I play freely. I feel like this is a common 'transpose' function on keyboards and given the scale options I would assume the keystep supports this, but I haven't found any documentation showing that it does.

Does anyone know if or how this is possible?

As far as I know, this kind keyboard transposition is only possible on the Keystep Pro.
It possible on the KS but only when using the CV/Gate out. There is an option in the MIDI Control Center in the CV/Gate setting sub-menu that allows you to set the 0V MIDI Note. If you make changes in this menu you effectively transpose the keyboard output.
An alternative would be to do the transposing in your DAW. In Ableton you can load the Pitch MIDI effect and transpose the MIDI input from the KeyStep 37 up or down.

Hi external transpose is possible you need to record a sequence in the KL37  have an external keyboard or DAW  press play on the KL37 and the sequence will change to the key you press

Hi,
i have the same problem, i just upgraded my akay lpk25 to the keystep37 but i just realized that this basic feature is missing.
(in the lpk25 this is this feature available via editor)
I hope this will be available in future firmware releases, this is the most important feature for such a small keyboard.
Anyway i found a way to bypass this problem on Mac using MidiPipe (http://www.subtlesoft.square7.net/MidiPipe.html)
with for example GarageBand.

Here the configuration that you need:
In the right panel create a pipe:
  - Midi In (hijack)
  - Transpose
  - MidiOut (deselect Pass Through)

WOW, just got this keyboard after waiting for a long time.  It says transpose in blue letters right on the front yet it doesn't do a very basic function of a midi controller.  I am immediately returning this otherwise brilliant midi controller.  WHY
