This is a placeholder to consolidate MIDI related issues. If a new MIDI enhancement is reported on the tracker, close it out and mark it as a duplicate of this bug (and naturally add to this list as needed) (#1472)

Note: As opposed to our other placeholder bug reports, MIDI is slightly different as it is mostly feature-complete. Version-specific MIDI bugs should remain open and tracked on a per-version basis. Don't close out valid bug reports simply because they use the word "MIDI" in them, first make sure they aren't attributed to a specific build. 👍

Basic Functionality:

• LMMS should not manipulate the raw incoming MIDI streams MIDI-based instruments play an octave too low by default #1857 [Milestone: 1.3]
