Piano Roll Octave
Hi,
As in Mixcraft 8, there is always one octave of offset between an external Vsti and the piano roll !!
This is a big problem when using drag and drop with instruments that have this possibility.
Where does it come from instruments or Mixcraft ?

Re: Piano Roll Octave
Hi,
Are you saying it happens in both Mixcraft 8 and 9? Can you please explain the problem in more detail?

Re: Piano Roll Octave
Hi,
Does your external keyboard have an octave setting? The Oxygen8 I'm using has an octave setting that can shift the octave up or down.

Re: Piano Roll Octave
HI,
So, you've got certain VST plugins that play an octave off? In the video, it's the DX7 plugin. Which other plugins are having this problem, exactly? Is it just the DX7 plugin?
The DX7 plugin allows you to drag MIDI and drop it in Mixcraft, and then the notes are an octave higher than they should be?

Hi,
Ujam Beatmaker, but drag and drop looks correct.
Ujam VG Carbon.

There is no drag and drop with the DX7.The DX7 plugin allows you to drag MIDI and drop it in Mixcraft, and then the notes are an octave higher than they should be?

Hi,
In the video, I'm not seeing a problem with DX7, or am I missing something?

Re: Piano Roll Octave
I think.... The user is talking about where C1 is pressed (vsti), but C2 is shown to respond graphically (piano roll)? I dont think its the sound in question, its the GUI. Maybe? Not sure.

Re: Piano Roll Octave
Hi,
I think the video shows 2 concerns for him:
1. If you click the virtual instrument keyboard, the piano roll doesn't show it. I think that's just the way it works.
2. Pressing a key on the keyboard makes the wrong octave play.
But the VST in use wouldn't affect which piano roll key is played. The video seems to show that the piano roll and the VSTi have the same key playing.

Re: Piano Roll Octave
Hi,
If pressing C4 on the MIDI controller makes C5 play in Mixcraft, that makes me wonder whether the octave setting on the keyboard i set to 0, so that's why I asked about that.

Re: Piano Roll Octave
In Cubase 9.5 and 10.5 it is displayed correctly.
I press C3 and the piano roll also shows C3 and is also recorded as C3.
Mixcraft 8 & 9 instead shows C4 and also recoreded C4.
No matter whether with MODX8 or MP7.
Now, i save the midi file and load it into Cubase. Cubase shows C3 in the piano roll.
As Mark said, maybe just the GUI.
Maybe it helps a little...

Re: Piano Roll Octave
Hi,
If you switch the virtual instrument to Memorymoon on that track, does the second problem happen?
The first problem being that clicking on the virtual instrument doesn't make the piano roll keys visibly respond. That's just the way it works.
