Disabling internal octave switch for MIDI keyboard

[Jek]

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…
