machinedrum pitch musical translation

2004-08-19 by dougvarn

hello, i'm new to this list, new to MD itself!
i'm trying to find out how pitch translates musically?
meaning, is each +1/-1 value taking us up/down a semitone?
does pitch value 0 denote middle C?
if so, is it the same for every machine?
then is +12 meaning C but an octave higher?

anyone got any info on this?
i wrote elektron support to have them tell me they didn't know!!???
