transpose and the tempo of all the tracks simultaneously without modiyng the
pitch of the drums. This offers you the great exibility of Midi with the superior
quality of Audio: for example you can exclude the Piano or the Bass line in case
you want to play them live.

achieved in connection with a Midi Accordion.
