Well, I just keep the controllers 100 and 101 at 0. I haven't heard
anything about if their values mattered, but just to keep it simple I
would keep it at 0. A lot of keyboards can only go up to a range of 2
octaves either way, so if you go higher than that, it won't increase the
range. but Bassmidi can go a lot higher. I can't tell exactly how high
but it can probably do the whole 10 and a half octaves. you can make
very, very bizarre sounds with extreme settings, I can say that from
experience. It works with any soundfont.

No, putting in controllers is no problem. Since I'm just using a controller

Let me get this straight -- if I drop controller 100, any value other than
0, Controller 101, again any value other than zero, and then Controller 6
with a value of 12 that should give me an octave in BassMIDI? This implies
that BassMIDI or Sound Fonts in general can do a maximum pitch bend of ten
octaves and a fifth? That's rather vast.

Subject: Re: QWS List Configuration Questions
Hi,
The configuration stuff is something I'd like to see. As for tip of the day,
I just turn that off, but those options would be nice, I don't know if they
exist or not. I don't remember having a tip of the day not read properly,
maybe Jaws does something different? It's been so long since i've used it
though.
The volume, pan and reverb stuff would be really nice too, if the midi
didn't specify otherwise.
As for controlling pitch bend range, you might be able to use your pitch
bend range setting on your keyboard, if it has one. That might send the
necessary midi messages. but if not, then you can use the event list, or
controller editors. You need to insert controllers 100, 101, and 6 for that.
They should be in that order in the midi file, preferably very close
together. Supposedly controller 38 should be added at the end of that order,
but I never needed it for it to work. Controller 6, which is the data entry,
will control how far the pitch bends. You set the value of the controller to
the number of semitones you want it to go. so for this case you'd set the
value to 12 to go an octave either way. If you don't know how to use the
event list or controller editors, it's not terribly hard, and the manual
does explain those in detail (at least the event list, I haven't touched the
controller editor yet).
I'm not sure if you were having trouble with what controllers you needed or
whether you didn't know how to put them in, or both. If it's an issue of
simply how to put them in, I can speak for the event list only right now.

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 over the size of the
window -- sometimes I get only half of the tip.
Second, is there somewhere I can set the default attributes? I'd love
to be able to set Volume to 127, Pan to 64, Reverb to 0, and Chorus to
0 on everything I open, as it'd save me lots of time in setting up
something I just imported.
One more thing -- does anyone know how to change the bender range in
the Onj sound font? I have some things where I need a full octave of
bend in each direction.
