On Komplete M32 there is an octave button which changes the octave up and down. In Cubase you select notes and press shift + up, shift +dn to change octave up and down. ---

But when I do this it still sounds the same so I have tried it but it doesn’t seem to sound any different ---

Well, perhaps then @davide 's suggestion about using a MIDI transpose plugin in the DAW, as answered to what seems to be the same quesiton in the other thread… > [@Change keyboard location](https://forum.scalermusic.com/t/change-keyboard-location/11302/2): > > You can move the bound area up and down by going to settings (see post from @Bernd below) Scaler plays where it plays in terms of single notes which is pretty standard. If you want to adjust where it triggers single notes on your VST use a transposer in between. ---

For example in Bitwig, you could transpose your physical keys lower in relation to how Scaler perceives them, like so… ![image](https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/images/transparent.png)
