Okay, good to know. I'm still finding out things about this program. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andre Louis Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2016 3:13 PM To: QWS list <[email protected]> Subject: Re: QWS List Something Weird with Kurzweil K2600EX Patch Changes
No need to even record. AS long as 'MIDI in dialogs' (Options >Options) is checked, go into the properties for a track, hit plus on the keyboard, or bank change etc, and see what happens. When I got my Roland FA-06, I didn't know what the Supernatural bank was, and I did that to find out. Saved trawling the manual and converting the lsb msb values which I always forget how to do anyway.
