I'm guessing LMMS didn't have MIDI from the beginning, and starting from C0 was chosen as low enough. Octave -1 is below human hearing range, after all. And after adding MIDI, nobody has yet cared enough to change things. Not that covering the entire MIDI range isn't a good idea but there's probably more to it than just changing a number somewhere in the code. (2013/4/11) Quoting Nick Humphrey <nick.c.humph...@gmail.com>: > If your MIDI software/device considers octave 0 as being the lowest octave > of the MIDI note range, then middle C's note name is C5.

It just ignores that lowest octave. 12(MIDI) = C0 = 0(Internally in LMMS) Fortunately there is an easy workaround if you really need to extend the range (but not in both ends at once): change the base note of the instrument. -- ra...@iki.fi http://www.mikseri.net/radioproject ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
