Hi all,
This may have been discussed before but on my TI2 which I assume is functioning correctly and when everything is set to "normal", the Audition button plays plays a C4 note (traditionally Middle C), not C3 as the manual states. Also in the manual under "Tips for auditioning the Wavetables", it also states that Middle C is C3 (not C4 traditionally). I have read that a few other companies such as Yamaha also call Middle C "C3" (not C4). A potential source of confusion for sure!
Comments anybody?
Thanks!

there is no "middle c" in the MIDI specs. instead there are two common conflicting definitions made by Roland and Yamaha back in the 80s. Yamaha's middle C is C3. or was is it Roland? honestly i cannot remember ...

In addition to what Mark says, I think "middle C" would just be the C closest to the center of the keyboard, hence in theory it might vary from keyboard to keyboard. On mine it's actually the middle one. According to International Scientific Pitch, middle C is C4.
In my daw, the audition C actually matches C5, while my tuner matches it at C4.
To really answer your question though, my ti2 produces the audition tone at 261-262hz

Interesting topic. I know of the Roland/Yamaha confusion and that it's actually implementation dependent. But I find that while many VST Synth/Sampler plugins seem to produce a consistent pitch (with plain OSCs without transpose), the Virus is an octave off. Don't remember whether its higher or lower, OTTOMH.
Not really an issue, but sometimes a bit confusing when swapping sounds.
