Matt, when we say middle C we mean the concert middle C, the one on a piano between the staffs. It is the MIDI nomenclature that has a few names for middle C, like C3, C4, or C5. Same note number, 60, but different names.
Oh, I know. I was just having fun. That MIDI 'standard' by different vendors is unfortunate, though.
