  • Octave difference between syncron player and DAW

    I'm using Cubase 11 pro with the synchronized SE volume 1 library. 
    When I open an instrument it shows the range of the instrument on the keyboard but I notice that when I start playing on my keyboard or add notes via the midi editor, I have to add them an octave lower. 

    Notice that in the screenshot, the violins range from G3 to A#7 but when I play the G2 note on my keyboard or add the G2 note manually in the midi editor, it plays the same as when I press the G3 note in the synchron player. 

    I don't think there is a general setting that lowers everything by an octave as it's only the syncrhon player where I see this issue. Other plugins don't have this... 

    Is there something I am missing here? 

    The issue is that when I export my midi so I can import it into Dorico, the notes are actually an octave to low and I have to augment them by an octave in order for the score to be accurate but then playback isn't accurate anymore...

  • In the Synchron Player click the cog-wheel symbol to enter Settings, then in the Interface tab change Middle C to conform to your Cubase assignment. I always use C3. Different platforms assign Middle C differently. Any platforms you are connecting have to match or there will be an octave difference.

  • oh ok thanks. So there is actually nothing wrong... Just the way the synchron player shows the range... 
    When I changed it to C3 it does match with my midi inputs and my songs sound the same so it was kinda a non issue :) 


  • Glad that helped.
