Transposition generally means shifting the pitch of a note by a specific interval value. Previously, we played single-pitch arpeggios where individual notes were played in patterns and sequences within the pitch range selected in the Arpeggiator.

Remember, it is the arpeggio that is being transposed. If you want to add energy, movement, and variety to your arpeggio, follow these steps.

We will now look at a simple set up to create inspiring drum and percussion beats with a single arpeggiator using transpositions.

Arpeggios have been used extensively throughout the history of music. All the classic composers used them in their music. In the modern era, arpeggios are ubiquitous across all genres of music. Great pianists, guitarists, and wind and string instrumentalists incorporated arpeggios into their performances to demonstrate solo virtuosity.
