hi, Your guesses as to the meanings of d, and w are correct. d is a darker sound than the default, and w, is for sounds that pan based on the key. KSP in fact means key scale panning, which is exactly what's happening. the further left on the keyboard you go from around middle c, the further left your sound goes. ditto for going right.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Raymond Grote Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 6:54 PM To: QWS list Subject: QWS List question about abbreviations in instrument names Hi list, Yet another question. When going through the XG instrument list, there are some instruments with the letters KSP at the end. Those instruments pan further to the left with lower notes, and more to the right with higher notes. But with GS and maybe other instrument lists, things are different. The first three instruments of the GS instrument list, are piano1, piano1w, and piano1d. I really don't notice a difference between the three, but maybe I'm missing something. Does anyone know what those letters mean? Thanks.
