Why do the notes on miniGRID look an octave off?Updated 7 days ago

From miniGRID version 1.1.0, the notes on the grid run from C-2 up to G8, and middle C is C3.

Older versions called middle C C5. The same key looked three octaves higher than it was, so a pattern could look as if it had jumped. The notes you hear did not move. Only the name of middle C changed, so it matches the numbering most DAWs use.

If you open a pattern made in an older version, compare it with C3 before you transpose anything. If it already sounds right, leave the MIDI where it is. The labels are what changed.

Install the latest version from your Moonbase library. Log in at rapidflow.moonbase.sh with your checkout email and download the miniGRID installer shown there.
