Hi forum,

That made me rethink my anchoring of notes. For notes both local CV as well as on the CV16 I use bipolar mode (-5 - +5) which means C-0 gives -5V, C-5 gives 0V and C-A results in +5V. Since most of my VCOs are tuned such that 0V yields C (~64Hz) my tonal material is mostly in the range from C-5 to C-9. In that scale middle C is C-7 and Kammerton A @440 Hz would be A-7.
That's all fine as long as I'm in the realm of my VCOs.
I have yet to start using MIDI with the NerdSEQ (waiting for the USB MIDI adapter; I'm not into gamepads but do own a lot of USB MIDI gear). But this leads quite obviously to the question:
Which MIDI note (as in Note# as of the MIDI protocol) results is which Note as of the NerdSEQ?
Or phrased differently:
MIDI Note# 69 (Kammerton A - 440Hz) results in which Note in the NerdSEQ MIDI Pattern Screen?
As a consequence I may or may not wish to retune my VCOs or find solution to align my MIDI gear and my VCOs (in case there's a discrepancy)
What do others do or use?
Kind regards,
Michael
