Does your midisport have only two sets of midi in and out ports, or 4? If it's only two, then there is a possible explanation. On the track diolog, you are only seeing your midi in ports, and that's normal. If you have 4 sets of both in and out, then some of the ports might be disabled. As for local, for some reason with Casio and cheaper Yamaha keyboards, trying to turn it off through the midi menu in QWS doesn't work. You'll have to do it using the function menu on your keyboard. I can relate, since I also own a Casio product. If your keyboard doesn't have large print, you may have to arrow through the menu to find it while pressing your plus and minus buttons in order to see what each option does until you get to the local setting. Hope this works for you!!! Seth.

It worked. There's something unusual about the ports menu. I see about 6 possible ports, some input and some output. When I go to the "preferred ports" option, I only see two or three ports. I don't know what to make of that. As said, it's a MIDISPORT, so perhaps all this will make sense to some of you. Again I thank you for your aid. Joe Giovanelli I understand that I should be able to create a track using control-ins. No track is created. I find, however, that if I go to the Tracks menu I can create a new track by pressing I. Why can't I get the control-ins to work? I cannot turn off "local." I go to the MIDI menu and press L but nothing happens. I made a track and selected an instrument other than Piano, the default on my PX-350. Even though I couldn't tur Local off, I made a test recording and it played properly. I heard just the instrumented I selected for the track. ----- Original Message ----- From: Juan Bello <[email protected]> To: "QWS list" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, May 5, 2015 19:34 Subject: Re: QWS List a few questions please > > > hi, under the qws options there is a prefferred midi port selection > list.
