Piano Roll keyboard not reflecting the keys I play on my controller...

It works when using my Maschine as a MIDI controller but not with my Roland A-800. I don't get it.

Thanks for the response, Johnny.
 
I figured it was just a general feature in SONAR but I still don't understand why it works for one controller but on the other controller, playing the same keys, doesn't.

Need to make sure each MIDI device is sending the same note values for the "same" pitch. AFAIK, there is no standard.

 
Yes, you're correct. The issue dates back to the very earliest days of MIDI. The problem arose because the MIDI spec defines note 60 only as "middle C." Based on the ISO standard, note 60 is considered C4. However if the lowest octave is considered -1 instead of 0, then C5 is middle C. Some software and hardware even considers the second octave as 0, so you have a -1 and -2 octave and C6 is middle C. Oh well...

Thanks, guys.

I'll look into this some more. I'll start by confirming that both controllers are on the same octave - even though I'm pretty sure they are.
