Keyboard Layout
Each key on a piano keyboard has a name and octave delineation. For example, middle C is C4. One octave above middle C is C5, etc.
(See diagram above.) This is useful in determining how our instruments are laid across a MIDI keyboard.
Note: Middle C is C4, which is the standard for most MIDI keyboards, although on some applications or keyboards refer to middle C as
C3 (Yamaha) or C5.
