midi pitch and octaves?

[Nubeat7]

lost again with midipitch and octaves
i need to know which oktaves are on the pitch values
the only tables i found are like this:

but they start at C0 while its common in DAW`s like cubase that they start at C-2, so do i only need to shift the octaves down with 2? to get them scaled like in cubase?

or better which pitch has C1?

Midi notes can extend beyond C0-C10 range (having negative note numbers). note 69 should be A4. Some DAWs truly number the notes different way, so you might have to check which A is 69 (or you usually may find it in the daw manual).

thats exactly my problem, because i`m working on a plug where you can select notes, so now i don`t know how i should name them... i think i choose it like in ableton & cubase where the lowest octave is -1 instead of 0 (if i`m right)

its really a shame to not have some norm with this..

[KG_is_back]

There is a norm... Some instruments however extend below C0 so DAWs need to handle that too (by having extra octave down there). Simply check if A4 is 440Hz and midi note 69. I bet it is...

i will test some daws tomorrow, thanks for explaining
