Middle C

yeah, as I indicated by example, some devs put their bass library at pitch, at least one did not, in that one. so in for instance oopying a part it had to transposed up an octave or it was too low. by an octave.

I've noted that Trilian definitely sounds an octave down.

The base octave is rather subjective. Remove the few first harmonics of an instrument, for the same "pitch" everyone will tell you it sounds "higher pitched".
The same way, start raising a sub-oscillator in a synth.. at which point does its overall base octave start to change?

For this reason, it is better to use note numbers instead of note names when creating your own libraries whenever possible. That way there are no discrepencies.

sure, why not go ahead and remove the fundamental so the object is not the same object and just call it subjective now. Kind of useless.
