My music theory is very elementary and i really don’t understand a lot of the manipulation you can do with a pattern once its loaded. I loaded in a ‘song’ progression from one of the artists. It is in a particular key. Is there a way to transpose the chord progression to another key ? If the key is say, C… if i want to change the key to a D, i imagine it is more involved than just moving up the chords by one. I did some Google stuff on how to transpose keys, but i;m wondering if Scaler has the ability to simply take the loaded chord progression and transpose it to another key of my choice. thanks ---

Yes it does. If you have Chords in Section B you can on the Scales button in Section A and choose a key from ALL NOTES. If the key is C choose a different note from the drop down menu. You can choose a different scale say Major to Minor under the ALL TYPES button. ![Screen Shot 2021-11-05 at 4.15.37 PM](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/images/transparent.png) ![Screen Shot 2021-11-05 at 4.16.15 PM](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/images/transparent.png) Click on the logo on the upper left choose Help and you can find the manual and video tutorials, ![Screen Shot 2021-11-05 at 4.22.32 PM](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/images/transparent.png) ---

really good. thanks for that. I also have a question about this. when I import midis (chords) into scaler and it analyzes them. (Detected mode) After them. there is not this option for transposing. is there a possibility? because even if I save the chord Progression I unfortunately don’t get an option to transpose the recognized chords :-/ Thx for help Sorry for my English hope you can understand me ---

Hi @Mijago-Shivago If you add the chords to Section C you will beable to transpoose them using the EDIT page (see [this tutorial)](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/transposing-patterns/10462). ---

Hey Ed66, Thank you very much for the super fast and helpful answer. 👍 Yes, you can do that - I was probably completely dumbfounded myself. 😂 Bit I had expected about the same transposing option… so that you can jump directly into your desired scale Thanks
