Disabling internal octave switch for MIDI keyboard

[Jalex]

Hello!

Is it possible to disable octave switching for an external midi note source?

Thnx!

MIDI-Ox might help here.

Nope

Think you could at least send certain octaves to the ‘bit bucket’ by routing them to channels you aren’t listening on, as for disabling a hardware switch on an electronic device perhaps not, but duck tape might help for that.

What hardware are you working with?

I work on a Mac. the task is to use an external sequencer or midi keyboard to run synthesizers in renoise. my problem is that changing octaves inside the noise shifts the scale from incoming midi commands from an external source.

Mebbe read this one through, it may clarify some things:

Why are notes in Renoise one octave higher than user expect?

I know that midi doesnt have much strict rules but a begginer would expect A4 to be 440hz because almost every tutorial, video etc. says it is. But in renoise, a4 represents what is elsewhere usually a3 (so a4 is 220hz as you can see in spectrum viewer in beta6). I understand that it can not be changed right now or can if old tracks would be automatically transposed (but it would confuse every old renoiser, so i dont suggest it). But i am courious why is it? Is it just decision from times whe…

@taktik it’s possible to disable on renoise switch octave for other external midi gear/instruments?

Thank you
