Midi keyboard octave problem

Hmmm - thats a lot of money to have spent on sequencers that you dump in
favour of Vienna

Right - my keyboard works kind of like that. The message from the octave
button itself is not sent via MIDI but if I press it, it changes the note
information sent from the MIDI output by one octave when I press keys.

I thought that the octave button changed the key range on the
keyboard? It isn't transmitted through MIDI, it merely changes a
parameter on the keyboard itself. If I remember that model right, it
changes it to one of several ranges, depending on how many times you
press the button.

Most sequencers handle input transposition easily. Cubase, Sonar
(Cakewalk), Powertracks -- most of them do, just check around. There
are also separate software utilities to do the same thing -- changing
the note number in the MIDI message is pretty trivial.

But I'd check out the keyboard features, see if it has an option for
key range transposition.

I'm using Vienna to play the soundfonts. I have Cubais VST 4, Sonar XL,
Project 5, Cakewalk Studio 2004 installed but I have to figure out how to
load and play the soundfonts. Since I'm new to this all this software is
confusing.
