I just purchased and installed Sublab for the first time. But something is off, specifically the key octave when I hit Q (C5) on my keyboard, where I would expect the default 808 sound to be made. Instead, the sound that is registered is a few octaves higher, which became evident as the intended 808 kick was able to be reproduced, but only once I had manually used piano roll to position it in C2.

Is this as intended? And if not, how can I go about fixing it?

Thanks in advance

Thanks @zvenx - FL Studio Seq. Mode should fix that 🙂
