I use the UDO as a MIDI controller from time to time and I’m unable to transpose the MIDI notes using the SHIFT key. It will, of course allow for octave changes of MIDI notes, but not semitones. Is there something I’m missing?

Anyone try this? Basically, using the UDO as my MIDI controller, I am unable to transpose Semitones. Is this the intended behavior of the synth?

Surprised I’m the only person on the forum who was planning to use the Super 6 as a general MIDI controller. Does anyone else have this same problem, which is that I while I can transpose the synth by semi-tones, the MIDI output to my DAW does not follow suit. The Octave transpose, however, does. Is there something I’m missing here or is this by design?

It’s been two years, but did you ever figure this out? I am having the same issue.

Sadly, gave up on this. No idea if it’s been addressed, but I don’t think it has. Shame. I plan to sell my Super 6 at some point, Just never jammed with it like I was hoping.
