Hi Andre, Hi List
I would like to have the possibility to input an instruments range and typical pitch by toggle in midi-values (numbers) or midi-note-names ("c4", "a6" etc.). Or at least have an information about which the keyboard shows. Now I feel uncertain, in which octave I am, and it's a lot of work to pitch up- ord down my ranges in Sibelius.
best,

Like Smokey Robinson sang, "I second that emotion". I often use 'synth' sounds which really have 6-7 octave range, but I only want to use octaves 4 - 5 1/2...
For some intruments that have a four octave note range - I often wipeout a mid octave range, to make sonic room, for another instrument.
Synthfire may have had the original concept of using orchestral or real instruments. But there is such a wide range of notes that can also be useful for synth sounds..
Another possibility If you could set a bandwidth of acceptable notes - (orctave 3 - 5), notes above and below that would be left alone and used as articulations (and not transposed).
