Hello Juan. Tank you for the little program. I have a question for you
though. Should I use the program as the default? The reason that I am asking
that is because it also said something about a combo and it mentioned
something about I think qws but not sure can you clear this up for me
thanks. ----- Original Message -----

hi, on Windows xp you could just simply go inside the sound settings
in control panel and choose your default midi device. But Microsoft
being silly and lame for all musicians as they always have been, and
will ever be, hid the option of selecting default midi device on
Windows 7 and beyond, forever. FOrtunately a few ones have come to the
rescue, and created this small utility that is 100% accesible, because
it is a really trivially simple task that deserves a section on a
subsection of the control panel. You just download and run the
executable file inside this zip file, its very small in size, no
installation is even necessary. If you have problems, install the dot
net framework from the Windows updates or google for it. And also try
running the program again as administrator by selecting the executable
file, pressing the applications key or shift plus f10 and then finding
the option run as administrator.

QWS handles this for you if you set up the track properties as you want
them. Make sure that on playback you have your port set correctly.
When playing a standard MIDI file in anything other than QWS it's going
to
play to your default MIDI playback device.
Note also that playback devices aren't required to use the same sound
maps
unless they're GM, GM2, GS, or XG compliant. Only these sound mapping
schemes have consistency across MIDI devices, and anything that isn't
one
of
these can put any sound in any program number. This may be part of your
problem depending on what you're using for playback.

Hello, Nicole,
When I set up each track, I filled in all the appropriate items. That
includes bank, the instrument (taken from an instrument list). I set
pan and volume as needed in order to get the sound balance I wanted.
It all works well when playing my sequence via QWS. It does not produce
anything like the correct instruments when I transfer this sequence to
a synth equipped with a MIDI player.
I can't remember but much about this, but years ago when I had a
different sequencer, I had to enter all those valuep at the start of
each track.
I can figure what to enter, but do not know how to do that in QWS.
I hope my explanation makes more sense now.
Thank you, Nicole and others, for your ideas.
Joe Giovanelli
