Note Pattern Character Table

• Key-Relative Letters
• Input-Relative Numerals and Symbols

Key-Relative Letters:

Letter characters assume the Pattern Key is a C. The note and relative octave are shown in the table, plus the distance from the Pattern Key in semitones. For example, if the Pattern Key is C4 (middle C), a 'C' character will result in a C4 note, a distance of 0 semitones. An 'H' will result in C5, 12 semitones higher.

Lowercase letters are one semitone lower than the same letter in uppercase. Thus, 'g' stands for 'Gb' or 'F#'.
