An experiment in transposition. This cover is of the Dream Hospital screen from Erika to Satoru no Yumebouken, originally by Hirohiko Takayama (198 .
The idea is to omit the instrument within your music pattern, and for one frame in between patterns switch to the correct transposition by changing the instrument. Transposition is achieved with the arpeggio macro.
There is a limitation that switching the instrument immediately changes your arpeggio macro, so you either have to stop the note during the 1-frame change-over, or stick a compensating note into that change frame.
I don't think this is a very good workflow, but it does work. People have requested a transpose effect a few times, and it would work very similarly to this, i.e. you'd have to apply it between frames, basically. Not really worthwhile, in my opinion, given how much doing this interrupts flow. One of the biggest problems is every time you switch patterns you cross over a 1-row pattern, which means the row you were just on pops back to row 00, making it harder to compare differences lower down in the patterns.
The "onechord" FTM has all the transpose patterns removed and demonstrates what the underlying pattern data actually looks like.
