Thanks Mario,

No...not really confusing,...well...

I generally think in this way...I guess it is correct.

Middle C is C4=261.6Hz

Standard tuning fork A is A4=440Hz

Piano range is A0=27.50Hz to C8=4186Hz

Guitar strings are E2=82.41Hz, A2=110Hz, D3=146.8Hz, G3=196Hz, B3=246.9Hz, E4=329.6Hz

Bass strings are (5th string) B0=30.87Hz, (4th string) E1=41.20Hz, A1=55Hz, D2=73.42Hz, G2=98Hz

I don't have a bass guitar at the moment, other wise I would have just played the bass part myself.

I sometimes just play the bass line on my six string guitar and convert it to midi and change the notes in Melodyne of other software which kind of defeats to purpose of BB use.

Thanks,

Billy

I went to the link you posted so I see why midi would call middle C something it is really not...The MIDI specification only defines note number 60 as "Middle C", and all other notes are relative. The absolute octave number designations shown here are based on Middle C = C5, which is an arbitrary assignment.
