Vst Properties - Basenote

Help, Support & Bugs
1

Under the VST Instument Properties you can choose the basenote of the chosen instrument, it seems like you’ve made a mistake because when I change the basenote to a lower value the note is not getting lower, it’s getting higher…

Is this an error or am I missing something?

Imagine things like this:
(at least, this is how I picture it in my mind)

Instrument:
. . . . . . . [A] [A#] [B] [C] [C#] [D] [D#] [E]

PC Keyboard:
. . . . . . . [A] [A#] [B] [C] [C#] [D] [D#] [E]

If you move the instrument basenote down a couple of semitones:

Instrument:
[A] [A#] [B] [C] [C#] [D] [D#] [E]

PC Keyboard:
. . . . . . .[A] [A#] [B] [C] [C#] [D] [D#] [E]

Now your keyboard is lined up with a higher note on the instrument. Make sense?

Thanks for the super explanation! ;) It all makes sence.

Although I think I kinda agree with you, it does seem a little odd at first. I suppose I should have made my diagram look more like this:

Before: (Basenote: C-4)

Instrument:
[A] [A#] [B] [C] [C#] [D] [D#] [E]

PC Keyboard:
[A] [A#] [B] [C] [C#] [D] [D#] [E]

After: (Basenote: A#3)

Instrument:
[A] [A#] [B] [C] [C#] [D] [D#] [E]

PC Keyboard:
. . . . . . .[A] [A#] [B] [C] [C#] [D] [D#] [E]

But you get the idea :P
