Hi, why is the middle C (Midi note 60) called C3 in one program and in another program C5? Raymond -- Website: http://www.raymondrobijns.nl Info: info@raymondrobijns.nl E-mail: ramrobijns@hetnet.nl
>why is the middle C (Midi note 60) called C3 in one program and in another >program C5? Because there are several different conventions in naming notes. Luckily everyone seems to agree on where "middle C" is. CubaseFAQ page www.laurencepayne.co.uk/CubaseFAQ.htm
Thanks, but I clicked on the websitepage and saw that the page-info went everywhere but neat. Maybe it is IE, but...

Depending on the number of deep octaves available the middle C can have any octave index. In standard Midi the middle C is always note 60, it does not support deeper note than 0 even if a synth could play deeper notes. Günter
