Okay, first I need to ask two questions. 1. Do you have a patch list for the instrument? It can be a list in text format or it can be a Cakewalk instrument definition file. (This is the easier way if you can get it) 2. How does your chosen instrument handle bank change commands? If it

There are other options besides MIDIYoke. Try LoopMIDI or Maple Leaf for other virtual MIDI cables. Or you might find some other choices if you search using the parameter virtual+MIDI+cable+Windows+10. Also ask on other lists. This is fundamental to getting stand alones or VSTs to work at the

I know of no way to use FX with QWS unless you run it as a player in another DAW, like Reaper. (this of course excludes the reverb and chorus that QWS can access if the player can do them) I like BassMIDI for sound font playback. Others have their favorites. These are "Driver" synths that

Or, you can tell Reaper to use QWS as your MIDI editor and save a lot of time in trying to learn how to do MIDI things in Reaper. I know some folks who do this and get excellent results. -Original Message- From: mai...@andrelouis.com [mailto:mai...@andrelouis.com] On Behalf Of JAMES

Be sure you're starting the sequence at the beginning for your volume and pan controllers. QWS only sends those at the beginning, and it doesn't "chase" controllers to find the most recent value like most other modern sequencers do. So you're only going to get those values at the beginning of a

Yes, makes perfect sense, and yet it doesn't. Let me explain. What your MIDI Implementation Chart tells here is that it has different responses for transmitted and received local messages. The 122 is good news, as it's dealing with the right controller. Now go to the top of your chart, and

You're going to have to look at your MIDI Implementation Chart for your instrument, which is often one of the last pages in the manual. Local on/off is a controller command, and if it's not in the chart of supported functions then there is no way it'll ever be able to handle the command unless
