This isn't just a QWS situation -- it's the way MIDI works dependent upon the hardware or software it's controlling. QWS does use the -1 value to indicate that it isn't going to send anything, leaving things the way they were last set. Some devices will reset to a set value, but most will leave things as they were until something new comes in unless you sent an All Controllers Off message (if supported by the device -- this is a recent addition to the controller list) or other reset commands in Sysex. So this kind of behavior is normal for MIDI, which is why I always set the volume, pan, reverb, and chorus values in the track properties.
