Problem transposing MIDI files in AP7 -ACID Product Family

Subject:Problem transposing MIDI files in AP7 Posted by: Pete90 Date:1/8/2016 5:25:28 PM Hello Sony people. I'm returning to music production after a long lay-off. I'm coming from Cubase VST32 5.1, I had thought AP7 was the answer - there are some similarities, and my system fits the low requirements! Currently I'm using a demo (a week in) on a Vista clean re-install. (The boxed version is on its way from Thomann.) I'm generally impressed with the intuitive nature of the program and the clean GUI - but there's a snag! I've been trying all the ways I can think of to transpose some MIDI files, or rather keep them transposed. I open the MIDI file from AP7, transpose to the correct key, everything is all lovely. I save it, open it, and it's reverted to the original key. What's more it now refuses to transpose at all. I have tried a few other files now without success. I'm scratching my head here. I've searched the forum, but it doesn't seem a reported problem. Have I missed something? Am I a complete numptie? If not it would be very useful if you - more experienced Acid users - could let me know if this is an issue with AP7, or just the demo maybe, and if there is a workaround. It doesn't seem right! Thanks - Pete
