Re: QWS List orchestrating on the computer
Does that one have any delay? If not, could you use an external keyboard and still keep all the sound inside the computer? I found that worked with the Microsoft synth, I was able to get two tracks, but the delay bugs me. Lizzie On 4/7/18, Nicole Massey wrote: > Yes, it uses the old slow MS Wavetable Synth.

Re: QWS List Making external keyboard data readable on any synthesizer?
Do you use them together, that is, making the MIDI first and then converting it, or do you use them for completely separate projects?

Re: QWS List Making external keyboard data readable on any synthesizer?
That's really interesting, but what if, for example, you want one part of your song with strings bowed and another part pizzicato, those are two different sounds on the keyboard. Also, do you know of any notation software that might be as blind accessible and straightforward as QWS is with MIDI? I have MuseScore right now but haven't actually created anything with it. I know this question isn't about QWS itself, but I'm just wondering.

Re: QWS List Making external keyboard data readable on any synthesizer?
Hi. Thank you for all of this advice. I'm usually very straightforward with this stuff, and if the instrumentalists need to change something themselves they can indicate that. What I meant was, when you record with an external keyboard your ports are whatever, but how do you make it so it doesn't always have to play on that keyboard, for example, so it can play on the Microsoft synth or the synths in notation programs? After you save your music do you have to change the track properties so they can be played anywhere?

Re: QWS List orchestrating on the computer
You can actually get rid of the delay in the audio software, I think it's latency or something like that. I prefer using audio a little bit more than MIDI myself, but I know I should be proficient in it if I want to notate something.

Re: QWS List orchestrating on the computer
Hi. There's the on-screen keyboard feature, which uses the QWERTY keys for the different pitches. The only problem is that there's a delay between when you hit the key and when it sounds, and the keys are laid out differently so it will take some getting used to.

QWS List Making external keyboard data readable on any synthesizer?
Hello. I am creating a project for Music Theory where we're composing for three instrumentalists, and a printed score is required. I thought I'd record the MIDI data first in QWS and then open it in a notation software to convert it. My question is: I will be playing the music on my keyboard, but after I've recorded all the tracks, how do I convert the properties so they can be read and played by any device, not just my own keyboard with its own unique sounds (these will be conventional instrument sounds but every keyboard is slightly different). I'd like to know how to do this so I can make it readable on any synth and MIDI related software. Please tell me what I should do about this.

Re: QWS List Lizzie
I have the RTF manual, and it seemed a little vague to me. It tells you the basic features but doesn't go through the many ways they can be used. For example, there's no clear section on some of the things I was specifically looking for. Are the tutorials more detailed on specific processes than the RTF manual?
