    Hey Richard,

    Your method is right on the money! Do you have any specific examples so we could have a look at what’s going on?

    Without having seen the grooves in question, the two most common reasons for out-of-key notes is that either the “Original” song key button is active, or it’s grooves riff or have fills with accidental notes in them in a typical bass fashion (chromatic walks or what have you).

    Let us know how things go and get back to us with some of the grooves that are acting up.

    Hi Erik

    Thanks for the reply.  The ‘Original’ song button was not active. I did think about chromatic passing tones, and yes in some cases that is possible, but some just didn’t look right, for instance, normally a passing tone is fairly short in duration but some of these were 3X the duration of the note it was leading to, albeit the total duration was just a crotchet, so maybe I am being a bit pedantic.  The one example I have left  has 2 Bb’s in the space of a crotchet leading to an A which makes sense as a leading note to the 3rd, but not to have 2 one after the other, trouble is I have now moved the Bb’s to B (which sounds awful) and I cannot be 100% sure that I didn’t accidentally move the 2nd Bb  from A by mistake, but I am pretty sure I didn’t as I remember thinking at the time that if it was a passing tone then why have 2 of them. So I think at this point I had better monitor what happens in the future and if anything looks odd I will send you the groove to look at. For reference the groove I was using was Picked Rock 85bpm variation 02.
