Here is a problem that rather baffles me. I have just realised that my midimapper (windows 98 second edition) is not playing the correct pitch as indicated by the midi notes. I thought at first it was a problem somewhere in quickscore elite which I was using, or my midi controller (Quick shot midicomposer) but lo and behold when I shut down the notation program and played a midi file through the standard windows media player it produced the same transposition error.
How is this possible?
Is there a file somewhere in the windows system that offsets the midi notes that may have somehow got altered?
This is proving a little difficult for me as I am trying to do a midi recording along side a wavefile to which I have music in the correct key and it looks like I have to mentally transpose in the reverse direction to hear the right notes come out of the midi mapper.
The choices my mapper gives me are Yamaha OPL2/OPL3 synthesis or Riptide wavetable synthesizer
At present the Yamaha drops the pitch a semitone (which isn't that hard to transpose) and the Riptide 4 semitones.
So perhaps the problems are in the sound card..
Any ideas out there?
