Re: QWS List midi yoke will not install

[Seth Lowman]

I can confirm that MidiYoke does work with Windows 7 and Windows  10; you just 
have to run the installer in compatibility mode when you install it on Windows 
10 

God bless!

Also for the session horns one, it’s not even in the table of contents.

Yes, that was my thought. However, the session horns manual doesn’t have it at 
all. I scroll down all the way to the bottom of the manual and look through 
several of the last pages and there’s nothing. Still trying to find the one for 
Broadway big band, but the manual appears to be only available once you 
purchase it, as numerous  different web searches have turned up nothing.

If there is no workaround, are there any other jazz horn plugins that are fully

Re: QWS List Implementing Midi controller numbers

[Seth Lowman]

You can definitely do this with midi controllers. The controller for attack 
time is number 73.  If your hardware synthesizer or midi controller has a knob 
assigned to attack, you can just use that while recording. If not, you can 
create attack parameters in the event list. Play the track until you find a 
spot where you want to change the attack, then press control L for The event 
list.  If you need to go back or forward a beat, you can do so using alt B 
and/or Alt N.  Then press I for insert,, chews control chng in the list that 
pops up, and press enter.  By default it wants to use controller zero and value 
0 on your new event. To change these values, press your applications key, and 
hit V. This is your controller number field, so type in 73 and press enter. 
Now, to change the attack time value, hit V; Type in whatever attack value you 
want from 0 to 127, and press enter. Now, hit escape to go back  to the main 
screen, and play back your track. You should hear a difference in the attack

Re: QWS List AW: Roland Integra-7

[Seth Lowman]

That sounds about right. That’s what I had to do with my Yamaha MOXF. There 
were three different banks for user presets, but I had to load them in using 
the board itself, no system exclusive would have worked.  If you can’t find the 
instructions in the manual, you could always try doing a web search. I’d bet 
Roland has an FAQ with answers to those types of questions; at least, I know 
Yamaha does for their boards.  

God bless!

Re: QWS List Roland Integra-7

[Seth Lowman]

Wish I knew, but unfortunately I don’t own any Roland products.  However, my 
best guess is that you load the SRX boards into the module using menus on 
there; your manual should tell you how to do that.  Once you get them loaded 
in, it’s a matter of finding which program/bank combinations will find the 
patches assigned to the SRX boards.  If Roland has a data list available for 
this product, then that should tell you which program and bank numbers to use.  
If I come across any information that might be of value to you, I’ll let you 
know.

Re: QWS List triton setup

[Seth Lowman]

What you need to do is go to your options menu by hitting alt o, and then i for 
instruments. You should be presented with a list of ports, so arrow down until 
you find the one for your Triton, then hit tab. You should now be presented 
with a list of instrument lists. Arrow down until you find the one for the 
Triton Rack, then tab over to the OK button and hit enter. Now correct me if 
I’m wrong, but after you do this, you may need to restart QWS for the changes 
to take effect.

Re: QWS List triton setup

[Seth Lowman]

One of the documents on the court website should be the voice list, and if I’m 
not mistaken, that will specify bank numbers.  However, in my past experience 
with a Korg X50, it used high density bank changes or whatever they’re called. 
Essentially this means that both the MSB and LSB  bank parameters are used.  If 
I remember correctly, the MSB value was 64 or 63, one of the two. So for bank 
in the track properties dialogue, try: 8064, or 8191.  One of these should do 
the trick; if not, then refer to the voice list on the website I gave you from 
Korg.  

God bless!

Re: QWS List triton setup

[Seth Lowman]

Well you don’t really use the set all ports option, what you do is you create a 
track, using control insert, or alt K and then enter.  Then, you hit enter on 
the track, and you should be able to tab through the dialogue and one of the 
options is port. Once you find that option, set it to your midi interface, 
whatever it’s name is, and hit enter. Then try playing the keyboard and see if 
you hear sound from your Triton.  Here is a link to a tutorial on the QWS 
website that goes through the steps in more detail.

Re: QWS List triton setup

[Seth Lowman]

One thing to try: there should be a way you can test to make sure you’re 
getting sound out of the Triton, such as a built-In demo song, or something of 
that nature.  That would be a good place to start, as this is a module so you 
can’t just play a keyboard to make sure you’re getting sound.  That’ll make the 
Midi conundrum somewhat  easier to solve.  Then, make sure your Triton is in 
the right mode: I believe its called multi mode.  I also found the Triton rack 
manuals online:
https://www.korg.com/us/support/download/manual/1/220/1663/
The one you’ll want is the basic guide, and there is a link to it below the 
license agreement.  This manual also explains how to play the demo song, as 
well as how to hook up the Triton to the computer via midi.  

God bless!

Yes that is true. That’s why since I’m not running windows 10, I’ve also been 
using Midi yoke along side it.  Might have to check out the one you’re using if 
I ever upgrade, which, since it appears Proteus VX won’t work on windows 10, 
that is highly doubtful.  At this point I think I’ll stick with my Windows 7 
machine, slow and stupid as it may be at times.

This is free and you can define as many ports as you want. The only trouble is 
that the list of configured ports is not accessible. Arrow keys will traverse 
the list, but screen-readers can't identify it as a list and won't tell you 
where the cursor lands. You therefore have to do a bit of guess work to 
correctly modify or delete the ports you've created. Since you can still read 
the order of them with something like the JAWS cursor or NVDA flat review, and

breaker for me. It's also the only software of its kind that I've found will 
let you rename the ports. So instead of having to remember that Proteus is on 
MidiYoke 7 or rename it from within QWS, you can just create a new port and 
call it Proteus VX.

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

I remember Proteus VX had a hiccup with my Windows 8 machine, something about 
initializing audio drivers, but when I ran it as administrator, it seemed to 
fix the issue. Since it appears there’s no run as administrator option in 
windows 10, I’m curious as to how you would resolve the issue for someone like 
Joe Who is running windows 10.

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

If you aren’t seeing the port for the Triton, it isn’t the Tritin’s fault, but 
the midi interface you are using. Look for the name of your midi to usb 
interface in the ports list.  If it’s not showing up in the ports list in track 
properties, hit alt o to go to your options menu and P for ports. Look for it 
there, and make sure the use this port box is checked.  If it’s not even 
showing up there, it could mean that your midi interface requires a driver that 
you need to install.  If that’s the case, do a search for the name of your midi 
interface and the word drivers on the web. 
Is this error with Proteus Happening with your Windows 7 machine? If so, that 
run as administrator option I told you about should be there in the context 
menu. Find the icon for  Proteus on your desktop, Press the applications key to 
click into the context menu, and then find the option that says run as 
administrator and hit enter.  I just checked on my Windows 7 machine, and it’s 
there.  I couldn’t tell you about windows 10 unfortunately, since I don’t own 
one of those.

God bless!

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

As long as your computer sees the USB to midi cable, it should be able to work 
with your Triton.  Of course, if you’re getting no sound after setting the port 
and channel properly in QWS, try checking the connection to your Triton to make 
sure the in connecter on the midi cable, (Not the out connector!) is plugged 
into the in port on your Triton. I’ve made that mistake before and then sat 
there scratching my head wondering why I wasn’t getting any response. Chuckle

Right now Midiyoke says it is having its installation interrupted, and I have

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

OK so you’re set there. Just use that to connect your Tritons to the computer. 
An audio interface is an external device used to get audio from microphones or 
instruments into the computer.  There’s a lot of different ones manufactured by 
companies like Focusright, Native instruments, Behringer, and others.

God bless!

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

Whether or not you get that module, definitely try Proteus on your Windows 7 
machine. It has some stellar sounds on it that you won’t want to miss.
As far as hooking up the Triton module to your computer, since the module is an 
older machine that probably doesn’t use USB, you’ll need a midi interface and a 
five pin din midi cable.  If you have an audio interface, it may already have a 
midi  interface built into it, and if that’s the case you could just use that 
with a midi cable. If not, Yamaha and Roland  make midi to USB interfaces that, 
if I’m not mistaken, are fairly inexpensive.

and 
https://www.amazon.com/Yamahaa-UX-16-Yamaha-Usb-midi-Interface/dp/B8BCXY/ref=dp_prsubs_2?pd_rd_i=B8BCXY=1
Also, you were asking about instrument list earlier I believe. Either of the 
Proteus VX Instrument lists will work, though the one that has cat in the name 
is set up so you can navigate by instrument categories: for example, you can 
press P repeatedly to navigate through all the pianos, L repeatedly to navigate 
through the synthesizer lead patches, etc.

I have an alternate which was just offered me. It's a Triton Rack. I

Question is how to connect it to my computer. I can use my keyboard as a

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

Well good to know. Maybe I won’t be updating to windows 10 anytime soon if I 
can’t run that on it.  Of course, if anybody else has gotten Proteus VX to work 
on windows 10, please chime in.  I’ve heard that windows 10 is a huge pain in 
the neck as it is, as Microsoft keeps updating and changing things all over the 
map.  The only thing I can think for you to do, Joe, is the try running Proteus 
VX on an older computer if you have one.  It runs well on my Windows 7 PC, 
which is mostly what I use for work with QWS.  Sadly, my Windows 8 machine 
barely works anymore;  it had to travel a lot with me while I was in college, 
and with all the shaking and jostling it took in my backpack, it seems to have 
developed motherboard issues.

Richard, that looks right.
Joe, have you tried running it as administrator?  I had some problems with this 
on my Windows 8 machine if I remember correctly. It gave me an error first time

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

Sadly, it appears that Proteus VX has disappeared off the web. Now when you try 
to go to the download page on EMu’s website, you just get redirected to EMu’s 
product page, where they list some newer stuff but none of the old or legacy 
products.  I’ve tried other sites, but can’t seem to find it.  It looks like if 
anybody else wants Proteus VX, they’ll have to get it from somebody on the 
list; I still have a copy of the installer somewhere.

God bless!

Amen to that.  On my PC, I  use Coolsoft, which uses Bassmidi under the hood.  
It’s really too bad it’s not  available for Mac OS, otherwise I use it there 
too.  Same goes for Proteus VX.  I suppose that is the advantage to hardware: 
no matter what operating system you’re running, as long as that system 
recognizes midi, and your hardware has 5-pin Din ports, it can be used no 
matter how many updates you make.  

God bless!

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

Proteus VX is not a collection of fonts; rather, it is a standalone synthesizer 
that will load a bank of its own proprietary presets when you open it on your 
computer. In order to use it with QWS, you need the virtual midi cable I was 
talking about earlier.  I have also gotten it to work as a VST in reaper, but 
not with VST host.  The most straightforward way to use it with QWS is to run 
it as a standalone program, then from the edit menu,  go into preferences  set 
your midi in device to the in Port on which ever virtual cable you’re using: 
for example, in from midi yoke 1. Then, go to QWS, create a new track, and set 
the port to your out port, such as out to midi yolk 1.   This software 
instrument is multitimbrel, so you can create multiple tracks with it. It uses 
banks 0, 1, 2, and maybe 3 and four for its instrument presets, and there is 
also an instrument list for it on the QWS website.
Hopefully this will help you out and getting started with Proteus VX. 


God bless!

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

Oh and thank you Simon for bringing up those points that I forgotten. Yes, you 
do get some free instruments just by buying a controller. I would encourage you 
to check it out if you haven’t already.  Getting this controller would also 
allow you to bypass the fact that your keyboard doesn’t have a local off 
function, as you could trigger your keyboards sounds from the controller 
instead while using QWS.

God bless!

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

I’ve actually found logic pretty amazing for midi editing, once you get around 
its few quirks, like it’s balkiness when working with hardware instruments and 
Bank select messages.That being said, there are a few things I miss from 
QWS, like the progression and note replace tools, and the ability to use 
instrument list.  I still use it from time to time when I feel the need to go 
back to my old but goods software instruments like my sound fonts, my freeware 
VST‘s, and Proteus VX, which unfortunately doesn’t work on the Mac or in logic.

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

Oh, and the KK packages vary depending on which one you get. I believe the 
smallest one offers a few pianos and synthesizers, while the largest one, 
Komplete CE offers the entire gamut, from pianos and synthesizers, to drums, 
guitar, basses, orchestral instruments, etc.  now that I’m thinking about it, 
you could probably make KK work with QWS, though you would have to use a 
virtual midi loop cable such as Midi Yolk or Loopbe1. You won’t need VST host 
though, as KK has its own standalone application.  However, using it that way 
seems like it would be extremely complicated, as you would have to do things 
with instances and all sorts of other goofiness in order to make it all work.  
The best way to use KK is to use it in reaper or logic, as those programs have 
built-in support for KK.  Of course, if anybody else knows more about using it 
with QWS, please chime in.

an external controller when you’re using it in QWS.  As far as pricing for the
 KK products, the Komplete CE package is $1600. I believe the ultimate package 
is 1200, and the prices go down from there. I don’t recall the prices of the 
controllers off hand. 

God bless!

Hi, Seth,


The instrument is a Medeli sp-4200. Believe it or not, the MIDI implementation 
chart shows that controler 122 is crossed out.


What do these "complete packages" offer? Do they avoid Loopmidi and Vsthost? 
What do they cost?


God bless you as well.

Re: QWS List virtual instruments

[Seth Lowman]

Every keyboard should now have the ability to turn off local, unless it’s 
something really stupid cheap like a $50 RadioShack keyboard from the past.  
What model keyboard did you get? It should say in the manual how to turn off 
local.  
As far as virtual instruments go, your best bet is going to be to purchase one 
of the Komplete packages, and a A49 or S49 controller from Native Instruments 
so you can access the parameters.  There are several versions of the Komplete 
package, some of which only have a few instruments while others have literally 
hundreds of instruments.  I currently own Komplete 12 CE, and I’m looking at 
upgrading to 13. This package is amazing! There are so many instruments I 
haven’t even gotten a chance to work with all of them.  

God bless!

Re: QWS List SV: AW: SV: AW: AW: New keyboard time

[Seth Lowman]

If I got it, it would be for the pipe Organs, acoustic and electric guitars, 
basses, Jazz brass and woodwind, and yes the drums!  However, I don’t currently 
have the funds to purchase that beast, so I am rocking a Yamaha MOXF and 
Komplete 12 ultimate CE. The MOXF fills in some of the blanks left by KK, such 
as melodic guitar patches, a jazzy S6 piano, and some other things.

Hi Brian,
 
like with so much devices, it depends on what you want to do. What makes me a 
bit disapointed is that the voice guide function don’t seem to get updates in 
regards to new functions and that could be possible without much work.
So be it, I thought first if I shouldn’t sell my genos at first and buy a 
tyros, but than i kept going with genos because for me, the sounds were better.
But yeah, they could have made so much more with the function. Fun fact, the 
voice guide got updates, that means, with new Firmware versions, the voice 
guide could say those, perhaps mainly to let you know where you are. But in 
Terms of new Features or more accessibility, Nothing goes Forward. Very sad. 
Sure, I have a lot of outboard gear with wich I can compensate a lot of Things 
the genos doesn’t offer Access wise but that shouldn’t be the Intention of such 
a function like voice guide.
So it depends on what you want and if the better Sound is worth it for you or 
not.
An example: The Expansion packs area isn’t accessible on the genos. Because I 
have no expansions, that was no Problem. For another friend, who had a tyros 
previously, it was bad because he couldn’t use any packs on the genos.
Like I said, it is good to have the feature if you have the genos, but you have 
to know that the expectations shouldn’t be to high. If I had to decide with 
todays Knowledge, I think I would Maybe buy the tyros I have to say, especially 
if it is the only Instrument or gear you have, so you can’t get inaccessible 
functions from somewhere else.

That is in fact, simply wrong. The genos has a voice guide and that makes it 
accessible to a certain Degree.
Set: The accessibility of the genos is more Basic than I thought at first. You 
can select styles and sounds, make simple Recordings and you can select Presets 
of the voice harmonizer and Vocoder from what I know. And it is not such a big 
Problem, since you can navigate the touch screen with the voice guide. In 
Addition, the genos has even knobs for transpose, tempo fills Intros and 
endings and some keys for accessing some functions, like the accompagnement and 
such. So, it is simply not true that the genos is inaccessible.
That are the Things what I use the voice guide for and yes, it has it’s 
limitations, but Keep in mind that yamaha has the only one solution for us to 
navigate the screen and and use the genos to a certain Point, other companys 
have Nothing.
I was a Little bit disapointed, since yamaha could have made more out of this 
Concept, but I use the Basics and because of the touch screen the voice guide 
is better than Nothing, since you even know where you are at the Moment.

I am aware of the touch screen, but Yamaha alto came up with something called

Hi Brian. 
No worries. I’ve done things like that so many times I can’t count. One time I

Re: QWS List ports problem revisited

[Seth Lowman]

Hmmm, how strange. 
What kind of keyboard do you have? If it’s one that requires you to install the 
driver, it could be that your driver is corrupt and it  needs to be 
reinstalled.  Also something to consider, sometimes QWS will say on start up  
that it can’t open a midi port, but sometimes you can still choose it in the 
track properties dialogue and it will work anyway.

God bless!

Hello,

Thanks for writing. I'll definitely take your suggestion.


It turns out that after uninstalling  QWS, my files remained in their places.


Unfortunately output ports still won't open with a fresh installation. If I 
can't solve this, I can't do any sequencing.


I need the "powers that be" to consider this and let me know what can be done.


I thank you.

Re: QWS List ports problem revisited

You can choose where you want to save your files when the Save as dialogue 
comes up the first time you save a new file. Personally, I don’t keep my files 
in the QWS folder, but in a different directory  within my documents folder. 
This way, if something goes wrong and I have to uninstall QWS, My Files won’t 
get deleted, and I can resume work on them when I reinstall it.

Re: QWS List port will not open

[Seth Lowman]

How does your PK5 keyboard connect via midi? Are you using five tin din ports 
out  to a midi interface, or does it connect with a direct USB cable?  If 
you’re using some kind of midi interface, sometimes those can give you trouble. 
 For example, the one built into my native instruments Komplete audio 6 would 
not send note on/off messages correctly back and forth with my Yamaha MM6.  

God bless!

Re: QWS List vsts and sound fonts

[Seth Lowman]

Hello. 
To answer your question, VST’s and sound fonts are two completely different 
things.  VST’s are what are known as plug-ins; you would load them into a DAW 
or an independent host such as VST host, and they can serve as software 
instruments, software effects, or in some cases both.  In some instances, like 
with native instruments Kontakt, they can serve as a means for loading in A 
wide selection of instruments. 
Sound fonts, on the other hand, are files used for sample playback; some of 
them contain only one instrument, some of them contain one instrument with 
multiple presets, and some contain hundreds of instruments and hundreds of 
presets. Sound fonts require a sample player to work, such as cool soft virtual 
midi synth, synth font, or even a VST plug-in like Forzando; excuse me if I’ve 
misspelled the last one. 
As confusing as this may be, the good news is that both can be used with QWS.  
The easiest way to load in sound fonts with QWS is to use coolsoft virtual midi 
synth, found here:
https://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth
Once you have downloaded and installed this, the next step is to get some sound 
fonts. There are a variety of different places you can get them, but here is 
one that I found to be most useful:
http://www.synthfont.com/links_to_soundfonts.html
As far as VST instrument, there is an article on the QWS website that goes 
through the steps on how to use VST plug-ins with QWS.
Hope this helps. 



God bless!

QWS List Sound font player?

[Seth Lowman]

Hello all. 
Does anybody know of a good sound font player for the Mac?  I have been using 
logic pro for most of my production as of late, and so I’m looking for a way to 
play all my sound fonts using logic.  The last one I tried did not work with 
voiceover, so I’m wondering if anybody has any suggestions?  If there isn’t one 
for logic, I’d also be open to using one in reaper.

Re: QWS List copy only all notes from channel?

[Seth Lowman]

Perhaps it’s possible to do this in the note editor, which you enter by hitting 
control k from the QWS main window.  Try hitting control a and then control c 
for copy; if this doesn’t work, then your only alternative is to select The 
section you want to copy, copy that, paste it on the new track, and then use 
the delete controller tool in  the tools menu to delete the control messages 
you don’t want on that track. h

Re: QWS List Installing VST host

[Seth Lowman]

My suggestion would be to extract the file to a folder in your program files 
directory, and then look for it.   Once you find it, create a desktop shortcut 
to it so you don’t have to go file browsing every time you wanna open VST host. 
 Unless the process is changed drastically since I did it a couple years back, 
then this should work.  

God bless!

Re: QWS List AW: Question regarding drum kits in keyboards for example

True, the touchscreen is a hindrance.  However, some of the Yamaha keyboards, 
such as the Montage, have what’s called convenient redundancy, allowing you to 
do the operations you would do on the touchscreen with  button presses instead. 
 Now my question is, does the Genos offer this functionality? If not, that’s a

That is definitely possible. You need to find the program and bank numbers for

for various applications.

Re: QWS List Bassmidi and QWS questions

[Seth Lowman]

To address your first question, The bassmidi Driver itself does not really 
allow for any control over which playback device you have your sound run 
through.  However, there is another piece of software that uses the bassmidi 
Driver so load  sound fonts, and it’s called cool soft virtual midi synth.  You 
can find it under the following link.
http://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth
Once you install this program, go into your start menu and type in conf and 
arrow down to find the option called “configure virtual Midi synth”. Once 
you’ve entered the program, control tab through the different dialogues, and in 
one of them should be an option to change what playback device The synthesizer 
uses, and there should also be an option to set your default  synth  for 
Windows media player.
As for stacking sound fonts, you will need Viena to change the program and or 
bank numbers of your sound fonts in order to make sure all the presets can be 
accessed with QWS. It can’t be a long and tedious process, especially if you 
have several general Midi sound fonts, but once it’s all done, it’s definitely 
worth it.

Re: QWS List Tempo, dynamics and bends.

[Seth Lowman]

For tempo changes:
Go to the point of the song where you want to insert a tempo change.  Then hit 
control L to go to the event list, hit I for insert and use the down arrow 
until you hear tempo, and press enter.  Now find the tempo event in the list, 
hit your applications key to go to the context menu, press V for value, and 
type in the desired tempo.  If you would like to adjust the position of your 
tempo change, press S for start, and type in the beat number  followed by a 
period and the number of tickss.  For example, (64.048). 
As far as bends, does your keyboard have a pitch bend wheel?  That is the 
easiest way to insert bends in your song.  Dynamic should be determined by the 
velocity of your key strike.  That is, if you have a keyboard touch response. 
Hope this helps, and God bless!

Re: QWS List orchestrating on the computer

[Seth Lowman]

The coolsoft Engine has less of a delay problem then does Bassmidi. However, 
there is still some latency even with the Coolsoft engine. The best and easiest 
way to have a sound source without any delay problems is to use a hardware 
synth, like a Yamaha keyboard.

 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.
 Thanks,

QWS List Blind-Accessible orchestral software synthesizer or Motif expansion sound library for use with logic pro or QWS

[Seth Lowman]

Hello folks.  I  was wondering if anybody knows of a blind accessible 
orchestral software synthesizer that works either with Logic Pro or QWS.  If 
not, are there perhaps any orchestral  expansion sound libraries for the Motif 
XF?  The reason for my asking is because the orchestral software synthesizers I 
have come across, such as East West do not work with my Screenreader. 
Thank you in advance for your assistance.  


God bless!

It may be quicker to call Yamaha support and ask them about it, or you could 
always use the Yamaha synth forms.

Try disabling midi clock in QWS. For some reason, it sometimes messes with 
synthesizers when it comes to recording and playing back.

QWS List QWS for Apple Mac?

[Seth Lowman]

Hello fellow QWS users.

I am a more than satisfied user of QWS for the PC, but I was wondering if
QWS is available for the Mac as well?  If not, how would this be made
possible?  

 

Re: QWS List Issue with bizarre note values in QWS

[Seth Lowman]

Thank you. The cleanup tool did the trick. I did end up losing a few notes, 
because for some reason, the note values were super long for a drum track. 
However, the set length tool fixed that, and I just went in and re-added those 
notes.

God bless!

QWS List Issue with bizarre note values in QWS

[Seth Lowman]

So I'm having the following issues: I recorded a drum track from my keyboard to an SMF0 track in QWS.  I tried doing a channel split, but for some reason, when I play back the channel 10 drum track, I was missing a bunch of notes.  Same thing if I try just copying and pasting.  I went into the event list, and on the SMF zero track, those notes that  I wasn't hearing on the Channel 10 track were there, but they were showing up with  weird length values in the millions, and I couldn't seem to change these values. Please listen to the audio file under the drop box link to see what I mean:https://www.dropbox.com/s/m5kvb3mauf1sxa6/Q%20WS%20copy%20and%20paste%20issue%20example.mp3?dl=0I will also attach the midi file so that anybody can look at it and understand what I'm dealing with here.

RE: QWS List Using qws with a Yamaha dgx-660.

[Seth Lowman]

Also, if you know the bank-select numbers for the sound you are trying to find, 
that should help. Try setting the program to 0, then go to bank and try 
arrowing up through the list while playing your keyboard.  If the sound 
changes, then go back to program and arrow through that list to see what new 
sounds you have discovered.

Instrument definitions are *simple* if you use the method I posted here a while

Hi, thank you very, very much. Yes I have the manual and it does have a patch

I had a suspicion that 0 was omni but thanks so much for that. I put the piano 
on channel 1 but will definitely try the gm set before I dive into something as 
seemingly complex as creating my own instrument definition but if I do I'll 
submit it of course so others don't need to do so.

Thanks so much for this.

Re: QWS List tempo on a knob

[Seth Lowman]

From my understanding, the key command function only works with keys on your 
keyboard. It does not work with other types of controllers, such as pitch bend 
wheel, sliders, or knobs. However, in future releases of QWS, it would be nice 
to have a controller command function so you could assign a controller to hit 
the record button or the play button, or change the tempo.  

God bless!

RE: QWS List [QWS] using Yamaha SYXG 50 on modern machines

[Seth Lowman]

I am glad to hear that it's working well for you, and I would like to apologize 
for the backlash.  The truth is,  I was scared away from Korg by their tendency 
to use touch-screens on most of their keyboards.  Even now, I would have a hard 
time dealing with that, since even those keyboards that don't use a 
touch-screen are not 100% accessible for the blind.  Therefore, I have to use a 
magnifier when doing some of the file management stuff, such as loading a sound 
library into my synth, and trying to use a magnifier while touching the screen 
is difficult at best.  However, that doesn't mean I don't like the sound of a 
Korg keyboard.  It would be nice to have a Korg as a second keyboard, as they 
have some top-notch synthesizer timbres, and they would work well for getting a 
really bright sound for some of the songs I've been trying to cover.  Also, 
having performed using some Korg machines in the past, I've found that they 
work really well for those gigs where you haven't had time to customize the 
board to your liking.  If you know where a sound is located, just punch in the 
bank and program number, and Boom!  You're there.
I'm glad to hear that there are support groups for the Krome.  Are there any 
mailing lists for it?  I know they have mailing lists for the Yamaha Motif and 
for the Roland keyboards, but I haven't heard of one for any of the Korg 
synths.

hi. Regarding the krome, everything that is navigation based, and the 
controlling of some parameters realtime is totally accessible. The editing 
lamentably, is not. I wrote a while back that I had it and all I was able to 
get in this list was just backlash. I decided to keep the krome because:
1. It has a good deal of support outside korg. In other words there is a lot of 
user generated content and forums and Facebook groups for it, completely 
contrary to what I had found here.
2. I don't live in the land of the free, so my freedoms in economic terms and 
what I do with what I buy is very limited. In this country it is pretty much 
impossible to buy something and return it simply because I was not satisfied 
with it. Though this is not to say I am not pleased with the krome.. on the 
contrary,  It does what I need pretty well and I like the sounds despite others 
saying that it degrades the quality when it is plugged into anything. The more 
lightweight aspect of the 88 key I have makes it ideal for some gigs as well.
3. Lastly, if I need help editing, there is the community. Lots of cover songs 
have been tweaked and or done, and I thankfully have a few folks from there 
that help me get things up and running. Also local friends, which are just 
mostly help doing things like loading or saving combinations or things I have 
edited. Once you load something or save it there is no need to do the procedure 
again, so unless you are a road warrior that has to change things every three 
days, it works just perfect.

Ooh! That sounds like a computer issue, not your keyboard.  Try saving as an

your keyboard running it, then it probably  your computer causing the problem. 
Otherwise, I would contact Yamaha about this.

Re: QWS List Volume quiet on other channels?

[Seth Lowman]

Try putting the keyboard on and initialized song before you start the 
sequencer. Sometimes, the ones that have data in them might do something weird. 
For instants, you might have arpeggios going while you're trying to sequence. 
Maybe this is why your other six channel

Yes, for the way cool soft handles bank numbers, they should be written in the

In this case, you must've bumped the transpose button on your controller. The 
transpose buttons are probably near the octave buttons.

Re: QWS List Nektar LX88 Impact Midi Controller with QWS Questions

[Seth Lowman]

The delay problem is easy. All you have to do is adjust the buffer size in the 
cool soft options menu. I have mine turned all the way down to zero, and it 
doesn't stutter, at least, if my PC is working smoothly. About the note 
problem, is the whole keyboard transposed, or is it just to C that sounds 
wrong? If it's the whole keyboard, you might try pushing the transpose button 
on your controller.

RE: QWS List Onj's SoundFont instrument list?

[Seth Lowman]

Unfortunately, not many soundfonts have instrument lists, as far as I know.  
However, making an instrument list is easy, if you know the bank and program 
numbers.  It can be rather time-consuming, though.

RE: QWS List yamaha psr 170 midi connection

[Seth Lowman]

If you aren't getting anywhere with the midi interface you have, I know of
another one you could get from Yamaha.  It's the Yamaha UX16, 
http://usa.yamaha.com/products/music-production/accessories/usb-midi/ux16/
and there is a driver on line you have to install before you can use the
cable with your keyboard.  The driver can be found here:
http://download.yamaha.com/usb_midi/
Note, however, that it is a good idea to have the midi interface plugged
into your computer while installing the driver.  Once the driver is
installed, just plug it into your keyboard and into your computer, turn off
local, go into QWS, and choose the port Yamaha UX16 1, or whatever your
computer will call it.  
I hope this helps.
God bless,
Seth.

RE: QWS List yamaha psr 170 midi connection

Unfortunately, if you don't know the brand or model number, It'll be really
difficult to track down the drivers for your midi interface.  Did anything
else come in the package with it?  E.G., a thumb drive, Program DVD, or a

Re: QWS List yamaha psr 170 midi connection

[Seth Lowman]

Actually, it's just a portable keyboard. Also, a midi interface is a cable with 
a usb plug on one end and two midi plugs on the other end. Are you using one of 
these to connect the keyboard to your computer?  If so, what brand is your midi 
interface? This may help me help you.

The PSR170 is not a Motif. It's a portable arranger keyboard. Maybe you

Some VSTS do that.  I have that same problem with the Forefront upright
piano I downloaded.

For some reason, it's not responding to volume changes.
I have it set to use midi yoke port 4.
When i adjust the volume in QWS on the track, nothing happens. To

Re: QWS List Composing a yamaha mm8 instrument list

[Seth Lowman]

as far as I know, there really isn't any mm8 list out there.  But then you 
could always go to the Yamaha website and download the datalist for the MM8 and 
make an instrument list

Re: QWS List QWS ignoring chorus messages? Why?

[Seth Lowman]

Is your pc installing updates?  That may be why.

 Yeah, I found that out with the prodeus vx.  However my Casio does accept
 chorus 93 messages.  I think the problem was that I used an auto
 accompaniment pattern when recording that file, and every time you hit a
 variation, intro, ending, or fill button when recording with accompaniment
 on a Casio, it inserts a program change message into each pattern track,
 even if the voice didn't change.  When I deleted all of the stray program
 change messages, that seem to fix my problem.  Thanks anyway.
 
 By the way, is there a way to change rpn controller values such as pichbend
 range and effects in the prodeus vx?  I wanted to add chorus and reverb to
 one of the prodeus sounds but the track property values didn't seem to
 effect the prodeus paches in the least.  Is there a way to get around this?
 
 Also, do you use asio at all.  Not necessarily for QWS, but just for any of
 your soft synths?  I would like to figure out how to use asio because I have
 an older machine and so direct sound can be rather latent.
 Thanks for your help!
 Seth

 Does the sound source respond to controller 93? Not everything does.

 Hey guys!  I'm having issues with chorus not being recognized in one
 of my tracks.
 
 I did a channel split on one of my old midis I wanted to edit, and I
 deleted all #93 controlers in that track that I wanted to put the
 chorus on.  I set the track properties chorus setting to 60, but when
 I played it back, there was no chorus!  I checked the event list and
 saw no conflicting #93 controlers!  Can someone tell me what's going
 on?
 
 Seth

QWS List Program Changes in QWS

[Seth Lowman]

Thanks, james.  I was able to change the pitchbend range once I got the 
controllers alined in 
the correct order, (101, 100, 6).
But now, I was wondering which controllers are necessary to make program 
changes?  
Thanks.
Seth

QWS List About QWS and pitchbend

[Seth Lowman]

Hey, this is seth.  I was wondering if there is a way to change the pitchbend 
range for a track 
that has already been recorded.  I can get it to change when recording new 
tracks, but I want 
to change the bend range for a bass track I recorded.  I really don't want to 
have to rerecord the 
whole track.  Does anybody have any Ideas?
Seth

PS, Thank you James for the suggestion about channel split.  It worked 
perfectly, once I got 
rid of the channel 0 track and clipped some off the beginning and end of my 
song.

QWS List Smf converter

[Seth Lowman]

Hey. Does anybody know of a blind-accessible software that converts smf0 files 
into smf1 type midi?  I have  bunch of snf0 files that I'd like to edit but QWS 
doesn't handle smf0 very well. 
Thanks
