![]() ![]() ![]() This is because the tenor is a Bb transposing instrument, which means that if you finger a C, it sounds a concert Bb, and hence if you finger any note, it sounds a whole tone lower. ![]() If a tenor horn is playing in any written key, then the backing needs to be one whole tone down - C minor in this case. Though for iRealPro, I don’t think it matters whether you choose the major or the relative minor, so F major and D minor will both work in this case. A good tip is to look at the last note - most songs end on the tonic. One flat in the key signature is F major or D minor, so it’s a matter of deciding whether the piece is in the major or minor key. What makes it worse is that set as is it all sounds fine to my ears! is it more difficult than that? If so, please explain but assume I have only one brain cell. Am I correct in saying my iRealPro screen (as above) is set for tenor sax rather than alto, and do I simply need to alter Global Transposing to Eb or Bb each time I use whichever sax, alto or tenor? But I don't recall EVER seeing the settings page before and I've done recordings (some posted on the Cafe) which sound fine. which on the face of it says I set this to tenor Bb at some point. I have found how to access the Global Transposing setting, and mine looks like this. I can read music and that's just about it, and if I played with a band I'd perhaps understand more about theory. If you only play alto, you probably only need to set global transpose once and leave it there."īit of gobbledegook there for me. Remember the key you set in song view is for concert key (so the player knows what key you want to hear it in, 'sounding pitch') whereas the chords you are looking at are in the key for your alto (set in global transpose.) ".Global transpose does work, but you might see inconsistencies in the enharmonics (Cb instead of B, or in II-V-I progressions for instance) but this is the case with transpose in song view also. Typicaly they say something like this one: So I've done a Google but the thread which come up aren't that useful to me as I'm not great on music theory. T recall whether I last used iRealPro with a tenor or alto but I noticed the "Ballad Bb-part" top left of the backing track and thought "is that right?" ![]()
