To further confuse the issue there is this tidbit:

The anchor note for midi is "C" as it is the ONLY note with a defined midi note number. Midi "C" = note number 60. Lower notes receive lower number and higher notes receive higher numbers.

Does midi note "C" equal C2, C3, C4, C5 and so on on a keyboard? A Roland keyboard outputs midi note 60 when C3 is depressed while a Yamaha keyboard outputs midi not 60 when C4 is depressed. Every VSTi developer gets to choose which "C" is assigned midi note "C" but most follow either what Roland or Yamaha decided decades ago. +++ HERE +++ is a clever webpage that discusses this oddity and has some clever charts to further illustrate why it matters.
