Piano view pitch WAY off
In X3e, when I want to play a C2, I have to enter a C4. The other night, it was off by about 2 1/2 octaves - to play a C2 I had to enter an F4! Any ideas what is happening and, more importantly, how to fix it? I've had trouble with the Ample Guitar VI and entering notes with a MIDI keyboard.

You may have pressed the 'O' key and gone I to offset mode.

There is a setting that may be helpful in Preferences > Customization > Display called "Base Octave for Pitches" see http://www.cakewalk.com/D...;Req=Dialogs2.073.html Many keyboards have a way to adjust the notes the keys send.

Yeah this is something that confused me in the past as well. I got confused that Battery was representing pitches differently than Sonar. I really wish there was some standard here.

That definitely shouldn't happen, even with a base octave for pitches difference. Do you have any pitch wheel info in the track that sonar might be searching back to?

I find this annoying too. I believe that it is possible to adjust some setting within Battery that will correct for this. However it needs to be set the first time you use Battery in Sonar, otherwise all your existing projects and drum maps would need to be altered.

all patches in kontakt use a default of c-2, so you need to typically set base octave for pitches in sonar to -2. this throws off sfz based synths like dim pro, rapture, aria and alchemy because the base octave defined in sfz format is -1. this is where i find track templates come into play, being able to set the key+ value for the track and forgetting about it... unless you have sfz files that are mapped as note names instead of note numbers. then it gets confusing again...

It would be helpful to others if you could say "Solved" in the thread title
