"This will transpose the notes played one octave below or above what the midi note is telling it to play."

correction:

This will transpose the notes played one or more octave(s) below or above where the midi note is originally played at.

You guys are treating it like some big...thing.

To most of the people here, our lives ARE music. It is some BIG thing. To some newbie out there just learning, someday it could be their life too...

Ok...I'll help your little theory section.

Key:
You're actually talking about a scale. The key is just the root of the first chord of the song, which is often the first note of the scale. You really shouldn't generalize a scale as "tone, tone, semi-tone..." because that's just a major scale. Guitarists learn pentatonic scales in the begining.

Ok, I'm not English so I won't discuss the grammar here. But as a music teacher I'm pretty sure that what you stated here is wrong Sorry
What you stated is "usualy" the case, but not mandatory. For example not every song in C starts with a chord with the root C. The only thing that determines the key is the number of # (or b) on the partition.

I'm not picking here, just trying to be helpfull

Yeah, you're quite right...it's the other way around.
