Hello to you all.

What a nice program to use. Totally new to playing keyboard and thats why I have bought a Yamaha EZ 300.
It works but the program sees the C3 key as the C4 key. Is this adjustable?

As an interesting fun fact, to this day there isn't a perfect consensus on how to label octaves in music. Synthesia uses Scientific Pitch Notation while Yamaha generally uses the alternative.

Starting in 10.8 we added a way to change the octave numbering to anything you like. Try this (assuming you're on PC or Mac):

1. Hold your Shift key while launching the app to show the configuration window.
2. Find the "Keyboard.MiddleCOctave" entry in the list.
3. Change the value from 4 to 3.

That should be it. Once you close the configuration window and start Synthesia normally, it should use Yamaha's own octave naming scheme.
