Just to add some confusion, when I went looking for information on ranges of various musical instruments, I usually saw C4=60=middle C. For example:

C4=middle C is apparently considered "scientific notation"

As a result of the above links, and because it's what Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra used, I built my library around C4=middle C. I remember double checking and noticing that VSCO2 CE, at least for the violins also uses C4=middle C. Does VSCO2 CE not always use C4=middle C?

Uh, no, most of VSCO 2 is C3=60. I haven't really used C4=60 since the early stuff (xylophone, marimba, etc.).

C4=middle C=60 is the "correct" method, but Kontakt, Maize, and many other samplers, DAWs, even keyboards and hardware synths/samplers use C3=60, so it sort of is the default choice for samples.
