You'll need someone to go into the global settings and se whether the keyboard has been transposed. I gather that when you play a C, you get a D. Is this correct? I also have the disease. Sounds like your keyboard has been transposed. Is Local Off on your keyboard? What keyboard do you have? Does it have any internal sounds? Can you only play it when Sonar is up? If local is on and you can play the keyboard without firing up Sonar, does it still play transposed? Are all the sounds you're hearing from Soft Synths? If so, are your tracks in Sonar transposed?

I have perfect pitch. Now, when the technician finished associating all the channels to my sound card and software synth etc he told me that I would be playing in the key of C. Alright! However what my brain is registering with me is the key of D, and when I play the notes of the key of C, I make mistakes because the old cerebellum is telling me play it in the key of D because that is what I am hearing. Why is this? I do know that the notation for brass is slightly different so are these keyboards set to how brass notes are named?
