NUMBERING
PROTOCOL
Several functions reference particular keyboard keys. Emax II numbers the
keyboard keys as follows.
For a 5 octave keyboard, the left-most (lowest) C is C1. The next highest note is C#1, then
D1, D#1, E1, etc. through to B1. After B1, the next higher C is C2. Notes proceed upwards
from C2 (C#2, D2, D#2, E2, etc.) until the next higher C, which is C3 (middle C). Notes
count upwards in a similar fashion until reaching the very highest C, which is C6.
In summary:
The lowest octave spans the range C1 - B1.
The next octave higher spans the range of C2 - B2.
The next octave higher spans the range of C3 - B3.
The next octave higher spans the range of C4 - B4.
The next octave higher spans the range of C5 - B5.
The very highest note is C6.
Note: Emax II is able to accommodate an 88-note keyboard over MIDI, from keys A-1 to
C7.
