![]() ![]() Spectrum and Tuner have their own pitch standards. S1 itself says all is right, shows all the right keys and stuff, but plays them an octave higher in all instruments and VSTs. TL:DR Acorn MIDI keyboard sends all inputs an octave higher, according to everything else, but not S1. It displays the frequency itself correctly, I play G string on fret 2 (A3), it shows frequencies of A3, mouse over, it shows nah bro, 220 Hz is A2 here, didnt u know. For this, open performance mode, click the cog icon, Keyboard Controls, check Assign all notes to keyboard and start assigning a different key to each note. I play an open E2 string, it displays E1. Tuner once again is wrong, it displays all notes an octave lower. Now I wonder what if I play my electric guitar. These tunings are designed to be played only on the white keys. All notes in Spectrum are +1 octave and I have no idea why. OCTAVE lets you change the octave transposition / position on your keyboard. It indeed says I play A2, but (!) if you mouse over an A2 note, it is 220Hz here for some reason (220Hz is A3). I open Spectrum on my piano track (btw piano instruments are Presence with different setups and Kontakt, all with same results) and notice something strange. I check all the notes, I try playing them on piano, then listening to notes online, I try my phone tuner, I even try playing me acoustic guitar, thats A3 ! I start losing my mind slowly, trying to decide who is right and who is wrong. A2 shows on piano roll (?), A2 shows in MIDI monitor (in S1), even frigging S1 tuner effect says its A2. So, labels on keyboard itself must be wrong? Notice, NO SHIFTS in octaves on keyboard. Then I open Synthesia (program for opening midi files and practising piano). So I press A2, but A3 is shown, and it plays A3. Notes coming from program itself, if I connect it to WIndows' midi synth are the same as MIDI-OX says. I check all other notes, all of them are +1 octave. Then I open MIDI-OX (little program for testing midi inputs). There are marking on the keyboard labeled from C1 to C5. The only difference is when you reach the end of 12. No octave shifts (keyboard can shift octaves but there is indicator for that). Notice no matter what key you hit, youre always getting a C note. Phone tuner can make mistakes on extreme higher/lower notes, that's why I have my ears. Operation MODE (InControl): Switch between clip launching and controller layouts or drum pad triggering mode. The corresponding input and output port numbers will be auto-detected. Enable all Launchkey devices in the MIDI input list. I used my own ears as reference, my real piano and my phone tuner. Open FL Studio and go to MIDI settings (F10). Some note frequencies in a440 equal temperament which we use nowadays (unless S1 developers are into some other pitch standarts). OS - Windows 10 with latest updates, DAW - Studio One Artist 4.7 (latest), CPU - Intel i5 8250U, MIDI keyboard - Acorn Masterkey 49. Before that I played only acoustic guitar and piano and wasn't into electronic/recording part of the music, so this question or parts of it may be stupid. So recently I bought a midi keyboard and it came with S1 Artist 4 key. ![]()
