Playing in the key of A on keyboard

I'm playing in the key A on my keyboard controller but the notes are in the key of E. What might be happening here? Thanks. 
  
Synth is z3ta +2.

    maybe the lock is on where it restricts you to certain notes?

    I unplugged the USB, plugged back in and it is working correctly now. Should have thought of that before posting. Thanks for your replies.

    I'm not familiar with zeta..... BUT, in TTS, in the set up box where you select the patch and bank and inputs and outputs, there is also a "key" field. It's normally set to "0" . But it can be adjusted up or down..... -12 for example would make the notes play one octave lower. +2 would play the next whole step up. 

    I see you solved the issue.... but this is something you may find useful in the future..... a few synths I've seen have some way to change the key.
