I've been thinking about this situation. QWS will only record what's coming in. This indicates to me that there is additional content on other channels coming from the keyboard as drum data that isn't on channel 10. Most keyboards don't send program change messages when they start playing, so of course since the track doesn't have the right program change set for channel 9 it will default to 0, which is most often a piano sound in general MIDI derived sound sets. (like XG stuff, for example) The question here is what patch the style is using for channel 9. Inputting that proper patch number should resolve the problem.
The problem is not QWS, of course, as it's just recording what it's hearing, not changing anything. Try this: First play the sequence. Listen to where the piano notes hit. Now once you've got a feel where those notes hit drop the tempo on the keyboard to a slow speed and turn on the style. Listen at those spots where the piano played in your recorded sequence and hear what is playing that line on the keyboard. This will tell you what sound they have on Channel 9. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of André Baldo Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2011 9:51 AM To: QWS list Subject: Re: QWS List Strange behavior between a keyboard and a computer: Well someone once sent a Yamaha PSR-E403 definition to the list, and by what I know it has very little difference from the E413. The thing is: I am not sure if the instrument definition would have something to do with the problem, since the sounds are coming out strange even if I leave only the drums turned on and the program's channel to 0. It comes a piano track on channel 9 if I do channel split even if there should only be the drum sounds. I tried to do gm reset, gm2 rese, gs reset, xg reset, nothing worked as expected... But I'll keep on trying or fixing those things manually... Thanks anyway!

That might be the problem? I don't know--I don't have a yamaha--but I thought it might have different instruments than just the standard midi instruments that qws is configured to use by default. Just a thought. Does your keyboard also use xg? U might also need to send an xg message to qws in order to make stuff work correctly. Dewald might know more, & James Bowden, the program author, monitors this list, so I think I'll keep my mouth shut now so as not to insert foot any further & defer to them, since I'm just making a WAG or 2 anyway.
