Help with scratch MIDI notes?

I have a sound editing program called Audacity, and the notes for a MIDI peice are marked by C1-C9. How would you put all these notes out in numbers for scratch?


I'm back.
Maybe.

I'm rather confused with what you want to do here. Audacity is incapable of editing MIDI files unless the file has been converted to something else like WAV or MP3.

The C1 to C9 system in MIDI pieces is based on octaves. C1 refers to the C key in the first octave, C2 refers to the C key in the second octave, F#3 refers to the F# note in the third octave, etc.

However, Scratch reads notes based on numbers and doesn't use the C1 to C9 system, so you'll have to convert the C1-C9 notes to their numerical equivalent. For example, the note 60 is the middle C key (equivalent to C5), the C# note right after the middle C is therefore 61 (equivalent to C#5), the B key right before the middle C is 59 (equivalent to B4), and so on.

Here's a MIDI number frequency table to figure out how to convert the keys to their corresponding numbers.  smile
