I'm really at a loss as to who to start asking here, so I'm asking folks I know are helpful and if it's not LMMS, can hopefully point me in the right direction.
First, the simple configuration.
MIDI Controllwer: M-AUDIO HAMMER 88 88 key fully weighted hammer action controller
LMMS running on an IdeaPad L-340 Gaming laptop (no memory or drive speed issues!)
Keystone Classic configured as the Steinway Grand Piano, default settings.
Oh, and a tuner app on my Android cellphone as of last night. This concerns only notes below A1 (A1 is fine). As you move to deeper and deeper notes, they get farther and farther out of tune, with G1 almost being in tune with G2, and C1 registering as something fluctuating between D1 and E1 and severely out of tune with itself (sounds like two notes that are a semitone apart being played together).
I've heard this in other VST instruments that can play at that low pitch, as well.. But then, the keyboard is just a MIDI controller, not actually making the sound, right? Or is it? Could it be sending bad information for those notes? Or could it be something about how LMMS handles that end of the range? Or are several VST instrument plugins just wrong?
So here's my REAL, ultimate question: What do I do to diagnose and fix this? I realize not much uses that low end, but i;d still prefer that it be as well in-tune as the upper end is, and in tune with the upper end for the same notes except for the octaves. Is there are way, within LMMS, to tune each note individually by adjusting MIDI settings for each note? Or perhaps some kind of external work sound Audacity?
Thanks,
