Hi Brian. No worries. I’ve done things like that so many times I can’t count. One time I just about reinstall the driver because I thought it was broken, but then I realized that I had forgotten to unplug my keyboard from my PC and plug it into my Mac. Chuckle.
God bless!

Well, I am that idiot. You hit the nail right on the head regarding why my midi files wouldn’t play. I had forgotten that the last time I used the computer with my Roland keyboard I had used the synchronise button. For some reason I suppose I expected everything like like that to return to a default setting. Well, I booted up the computer, unchecked the synchronise setting, and away it went. I’ll go back to the bottom of the class and remember to check in future. Thanks for you advice. Thanks from someone who feels such a fool.

If it is, you have to hit a key or move a controller after hitting the space bar in order to hear midi playback. Press control wide to turn it on and off. Second, what software or hardware synthesizer are you using? For example, Microsoft GS wave table,coolsoft, bassmidi, Yamaha motif, etc. If you suspect there might be an issue with your synthesizer, try setting one of the tracks to a different port and see if it plays back. As for system midi volume in Windows, I have no idea where you would find that. God bless!

However following a recent windows update QWS won’t play any midi files when I press spacebar. I have Uninstalled the program and reinstalled, no change. In the past I had a problem on previous laptops where midi volume would curiously reset itself to 0. However I can no longer seem to find a setting in sound controls to change midi volume separately. Is it hidden in some obscure corner of system settings? Please Can anyone advise? Brian
