Topic: Pianoteq Notes appear to be in the wrong position on midi controller

Help!!!!!!!!

A# is in the C position when using Pianoteq Pro using my keyboard controller. It appears that the entire Pianoteq keys are shifted up by a whole step and a half.

Is there a way to move key positions in Pianoteq so that they are in the right position on my midi keyboard controller?

Notes on all my other piano and keyboard vst's are located in the right  key positions on my midi keyboard controller.

In other word when using all my other piano vst's when I play a middle c it plays a C note. In pianoteq when I play a middle c it plays a A#, and
this applies to all other notes as well. How do you shift the notes in Pianoteq so that they are positioned correctly on my midi keyboard controller?

The most likely thing is that you have accidentally transposed the keys in Pianoteq.

If you go into Pianoteq with the keyboard attached and open the Options dialog and go to MIDI you should see, near the bottom, a "Notes Transposition" setting.  If that is not zero then Pianoteq is interpreting MIDI notes and offsetting their MIDI numbers by the amount shown.  If you change that to zero it should be back to normal.

If that does not work then it might be possible that your DAW application (which I assume you are using as you refer to VSTs - Pianoteq can work stand alone as well), may be transposing input notes from Pianoteq or to Pianoteq.  You will need to check that inside the particular software you are using.
