Hello,
Could someone point me in the correct direction on why my Output Mapping in the Expression Map Setup is off an octave?
My VSL has a keyswitch at D#7. It has been verified, VSL is correct.
When I create Output mappings to this Keyswitch, I have to enter D#6. Why is my Cubase off an octave?
Thanks
Could it be because Cubase thinks C3 is middle C (midi note 60)?
Sure it is a possibility. How do I tell?
Well, it is fixed as middle C = C3, so you can’t do anything about that.
On the other hand, in the Expression Map Setup dialog, bottom-left, maybe you could change the octave of the Root Key?
Thanks for letting us know about middle C = C4.
I’m surprise someone else hasn’t mentioned this.
From my understanding of the Cubase 8 documentation. Root Key/Root note has to do with external devices and the Remote. I tried many different things. The only thing I found that worked is subtract an octave in the output mappings. Remote setting made no difference.
Yes, thanks for the links.
I’ll take a look
I just meant that it has been talked about, and requested a lot. I didn’t mean to get your hopes up for a solution…
I spoke to another composer. The C3 / C4 is an issue in other places as well, not just VSL and/or Cubase. It can differ from system to system. Cubase is not at fault.
There isn’t going to be a standard everyone will follow anytime soon.
What would be nice is to have it documented in the documents.
True, that.
