Hi Andre,

So what keyboards may I inquire are you using these days?

Thanks much for all you do,

Johnny

Hi. It's on-topic actually, if you consider that you can now use soundfonts with QWS via SFZ or synthfont. Though that tutorial is as you say very old, a lot of the midi files you heard in that should still play due to having been converted to soundfont-only format. I used a Roland XV-5050 and Roland SC-88 at the time which I no longer have, or use respectively.
Soundfont and midis that go with it can all be found at:
http://1.onj.me/programs
should you gcare to give that a look.
It's around 226 MB of soundfont, with all my favourite sounds in it from various banks. Thanks go to Arfy for compiling it into a useable, one-bank format. Combine SFZ or Synthfont with MidiYoke and QWS's article on the subject and you can almost have a midi-perfect copy of some of the files you heard in that tutorial.

Enjoy and if you try it, let us know how you get on.

Oh, wow. Certainly clears that up, then. *smile*
BTW off topic I know, but I was just giving that tutorial of yours a listen
a few weeks ago, it's getting a little outdated but is still useful as it
taught me how to use the note editor and talked about a lot of things which
still apply at least for me. And this just came to mind. Those midis and
soundfonts you were playing with, I was just wondering where those came
from, unless if course they are copyrighted or something and you're not
allowed to distribute.

NO no, certainly not!  It simply delays the initial note data being played
on all tracks, while the patch data is sent.  A midi sequencer that acted
like the Microsoft GS wave table without trying would be no sequencer I
would want to associate with at all.  Terrible idea.  Terrible!

Hmm, I should have thought of this. Does this setting also delay notes
when
you play them, like when recording? Or only when playing?

This is because in the options of QWS, you have the playback delay set
to
0. Some synths are not fast enough to set your patches and other
information and then immediately play the midi.
With my Juno-G, I have the playback delay set to 350.
This means that after I press space from the beginning of the track,
there
is a period of 350 MS in which QWS sends all relevant patch and
controler
data, then begins playing.  Having any modern Roland synth and probably
modern Yamaha synth attempt to play note data and send patch data with a
playback delay of 0 is going to exibit the behavior you have mentioned.

Consider setting the playback delay to something you are comfortable
with,
and that allows your first notes to be heard in a satisfactory manner.
I hope that helps.

Has anybody had the problem of the very first note or chord of a piece
of music seemingly being cut off or played ever so minorly too fast?
