The problem with the midi standard is that they didn't define octave
numbers strictly enough.
Midi has a 10 octave (+8 note) range, so it makes sense to label these
octaves 0 to 10.
But some makers decided the third octave of the midi note range should
be octave 0, as this is commonly the lowest note on controller
keyboards. Hence the discrepancy between P3 octave numbers and Cubase
octave numbers for example.
I chose not to use the Cubase numbering partly because I don't find it
logical, but mainly because I didn't have space for the minus sign
needed for notes in octaves -1 and -2 in the display.

One possiblity is that I could remove the limited range of 5 octaves on
the note pots, and make the full 10 octaves available directly. That
would make the 'lowest' note selection academic.

As the old saying goes, RTFM ;-)
