Yes, but the point is that he wants to set the transposition using MIDI CC's triggered from 
an external foot controller - and this is not easily done in real time on the AN1x. You have 
to use a repeating SysEx string to accomplish it and that is not satisfactory for real time 
playing, ie., not responsive. That is why I suggest he 'imbed' a single PitchBend event with 
the appropriate value into his MIDI Pedals instead to transpose upward or downward and 
then follow it with another PitchBend to reset to base pitch, or center if you will, assigned 
to a seperate pedal.
