Just put that in your manual and see if it makes sense - get your ruler out and measure the number of channels? You have lost the point here: how is a user really supposed to know that MIDI channels should be counted from 1 or from 0?
Hi all, I'm not following this thread. No time. Only thing I want to say is that often folks incorrectly mix together the idea of a bus spec with the idea of what makes sense from a human usability point of view. The MIDI spec says what values are transferred on the bus. Nothing more and nothing less. What a hardware or software manufacturer does on the front panel of their product is their own business. It's not governed by the MIDI spec. In the case of some software I've used MIDI channels are numbered 0-15 while others use 1-16. That choice is made outside of the MIDI spec and both are 'correct' or neither is 'incorrect'. Now, all together and out the door to grab a beer.
