Now, if I have a MIDI note that Cakewalk calls "C1," Stutter Edit will respond to it as C1, but MRhythmizer thinks the note is C2. This got me through my Producertech Stutter Edit course without clawing at my head. I set "Base octave for pitches" to -2 to get Stutter Edit 2 and Cakewalk to agree, so I could put in a C1 in the Piano Roll and have it register as C1 in SE2. I can see how NASA screwed the pooch on that unmanned probe by having one engineer calling out a dimension in centimeters and having the probe part built in inches. I know I got an answer to my question, but I just wanna vent here: I've been wading deeper into the glitchy waters of Stutter Edit 2 and MRhythmizer and this discrepancy between how they and even other DAW's designate note names is driving me nuts as I try to switch back and forth.

(How charmingly quirky that this setting appears under Display rather than say, MIDI.) So if I set Base octave to -2 it should start lining up with the plug-in and I can stop getting lost in the MIDI tutorial and focus on getting lost among the plug-ins myriad controls. It would appear that Stutter Edit uses the Yamaha standard (I would have thought during the Roland ownership days, Cakewalk would have had the Roland one thrust upon it). "Got a standard, now it's time to get back to work making working with our stuff harder for other developers." Reminds me of spouses who apparently used the extent of their relationship skills to get married and then develop none subsequent to that.

Once the standard was defined, they did their level best to diverge from each others' efforts to expand upon it, like GS vs. I think it explains why certain soft synths, when I use "bass" patches are either not that bassy or seemingly below the range of human hearing.Īnd sheesh, for a couple of the companies that founded the MIDI standard in the first place, it makes me wanna clonk their corporate heads together.
