Sub to Lambfire Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I started making a song from an idea a little bit ago and it turned out pretty well. Unfortunately, now that I want to add to it i'm encountering this problem where every midi note on the piano roll (and during the playback) of my lead instrument is 1 semitone above what it should be (ie. C5 sounds like D5). Is this a setting or something? There is no automation on the affected track and it's kind of driving me insane. It only happens after my first verse in the timeline, pls help!

No WHEEL events in the lead instrument MIDI track prior to the start of the first verse? (can use Event list view to check) I usually place a WHEEL > 0 event in each set of MIDI initialisation events at the start of all project’s MIDI tracks.

fret_man Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Are you adding a new virtual instrument? Unfortunately there is no standard on what C1 is. I've seen discrepancies between various VSTis of up to +/- 2 octaves. You may be experiencing this between your VSTi and Cakewalk. In another DAW it may be fine, or even farther off. Some VSTis allow you to transpose their outputs to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same octave... and that's actually 2 semitones apart. Edited January 21, 2023 by abacab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 1. Make sure you're not putting notes in the wrong key. 2. Check each instruments transpose setting if available. 3. Check the Inspector's Key setting for each track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
