# Note Type Mapping

![](https://32629026-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2Frhythm-game-starter%2F-M77mUOMVMimR0SwIx0Y%2F-M77pUyjQiw4oW43KRL0%2F24.png?generation=1589286143598913\&alt=media)

For the system to know which note prefab to use (tap, long press, swipe), we have to define a mapping for them.

1. **Note prefab**

A list of prefabs definition and size of the pool need to pre-spawn for each of the note objects, however you can disable object pooling in the TrackManager

1. **Mapping**

In this example, we distinguish different types of note by its octave, so we can define different types of note in one single midi file.

### P.S.

It's interesting that different DAW handles the root octave differently

The same midi file

#### In Ableton Live

There are options for you to set the reference root octave,

so that the mapping matches what you see in your midi editing software![](https://32629026-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2Frhythm-game-starter%2F-M77mUOMVMimR0SwIx0Y%2F-M77pUyngeOq8kF2s1J3%2F28.png?generation=1589286143574665\&alt=media)
