Here's a possibility. Perhaps the V stands for Velocity while the M stands for Modulation, indicating which control is used to do something in the sound. What happens when you play a VSW sound harder or softer, or move the mod wheel on an MSW sound? Perhaps some sort of Wah effect? -Original

QWS List Configuration Questions

I have a couple of configuration questions. First, does the tip of the day text reside in a file somewhere that QWS uses? I'd like to edit it so that I remove the tips that I already use all the time so I get more focused help on things. I'd also like to be able to read the rest of the tips that go

Okay, been doing a bit of work here on instrument definitions to get a feel for what is possible and what isn't. I've created instrument files so far for the Roland D-20 series (D-20, D-10, D-5, and D-110) and the MT 32. This leads me to a question. These instruments are, in their multitimbral mode

No answer for your first question, and I need to know that as well. The only way I've thought of doing it is to expand the track's note values and then use zoom and move it, but there may be a better way. The second question is answered with the Append command, but beware -- your file will take on

No, QWS doesn't have any loops built in. You will want to go and find standard MIDI files to do this for you, and you'll probably want to copy them to the length you want. This is a fairly simple process with a couple of specific things to QWS that are a bit unusual in sequencers. First, QWS doesn'

Yes, very possible. You can do it with either the Volume Controller( CC7) or Expression if your sound source responds to it. (A large number of them don't use this -- I think it's either CC11 or CC13, so check a chart to verify) Decide how much you want to increase the sound, then go into the contr
