MIDI Note values does not match DAW
Under the MIDI Notes message type, we also add the note information i.e. C-1 for easier reference.
However, you may notice that in some DAWs like Ableton, it will read as one octave lower i.e. Sending a MIDI Note 30 (F#1) from the MC triggers a F#0 in Ableton.
This is because of different standards being used. We use the ISO system where MIDI Note 60 is the Middle C (C4), while some DAWs use a different standard.
