Some groove clips are configured as
pitched, and the native pitch is part of the clip's groove configuration. Then they follow the current key signature of the project, or some interval you can modify for the clip. Other groove clips are configured as
not pitched, so they don't get transposed. You can modify the pitch or remove the pitch by operating on the clip in the groove editing window, usually accessed by double-clicking the clip.
A slightly different approach would be to turn off grooving and use the stretch tool instead, which can change the clip length with no change in pitch.
