Very strange Midi Note issue

Hi everyone
I have a very strange issue, mainly with my controller, but samplerbox is involved

I have a novation SLMKII wich i use to control my samplerbox. I've set a template in wich some switches send note on/off message to trigger samples in the samplerbox, over USB.
It worked fine, until today.

Now, the SLMKII sends the notes one octave higher. It's set and displays to send C-2, and sends C-1 (checked in Midi Ox).
I've spent the evening chatting with Novation support, they have never encountered such errors. We've tried basic and advanced workaround (firmware update/reset, tweaking the template etc...), but none worked.
First, i tought i could solve this by changing the names of my samples.
If the sample meant to be played when receiving C-2 is named 0, and the samplerbox receives C-1, i just have to rename the sample 12, right ?

If this was simple as this, it would not be fun.
I have no idea how i can fix it, and i have to fix it soon, i have a gig in two weeks, and a rehearsal before. And not much money to buy a crappy LPD8 to replace my samplerbox.

If anyone of you midi experts have any idea on how to fix this, even a mc gyver way, i would be grateful.

Hi Max,
It can be as simple as you say: rename 12 notes higher.
Alternative is changing the actuallyload proc in the script to change the translation (a kind of retuning /transposing)
If you need guidance for that, let me know. Currently not near my PC, so can't detail on it now.

And if you're not using the basic build, but Alex's or mine, you can use the %%transpose keyword to shift 12 notes.

I use your build, and of course i tried to rename the files, without success.

My setup is :
Novation SlMkII> Samplerbox > focusrite scarlet (as a dac for samplerbox)

The odd thing is that even if my keyboard sends note 12 and my file name is 12, nothing happens.
This setup used to work for 2 years.
And, i'm a total noob as far as command lines is concerned, and programmnig too.
The only thing i can do is type command lines i don't understand, and get results i don't either.

Is there a way to monitor the midi in in samplerbox ?

Hi Max,
Yes there is, but this requires a bit of changing program code and command line usage :-)
However coincidence....
A couple of days ago I noticed my script does not work correct anymore in sample sets without definition.txt. I haven't found out yet what is causing that or since when this bug is in the script.
A few questions:
Do you use definition.txt?
Did you reinstall the image lately and did problems started then?
Would you like to answer on my site ( http://homspace.xs4all.nl//homspace/samplerbox/ ) via subtab "Mail to Hans" on the feedback tab.
This will enable starting direct mail communication so that I might be able to help you better.

Update:
Workaround is creating a definition.txt with one line: "%midinote.wav".
Bugfix on https://github.com/hansehv/SamplerBox
Note: this bug+fix relates to my build only, don't mixup forks.
