Also note that some instruments and devices only go from 0 to 127 for banks, as they only use controller 0, the MSB amount, to change banks. The free software synthesizer Proteus VX is one of these.

If you have the Track Properties dialog open, QWS can recognise this info and will automatically fill in the values in the Program and Bank. Note however that not all keyboards will send this information. Consult your keyboard's manual. Second: a reminder that in MIDI, many values go from 0-127. So, if you enter a value such as 174 or 192 into the Program box, this is invalid data. Program goes from 0-127, bank goes from 0-16383. Also, have a look in the List Archive, I think Nicole made some interesting remarks about how you can build instrument lists. Information about the list is at the bottom of every list email. I hope this helps. With best regards, James. ----- Original Message ----- From: "André Baldo" <[email protected]> To: "QWS list" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2012 6:15 PM Subject: Re: QWS List determining patch and program number I was testing with a Yamaha PSR-e413 keyboard and at the same time, leaving the properties dialogue open and, if I select instruments on the keyboard, the numbers (and sounds) change... The problem is, for example, that I put in 174 which, if I remember correctly, should come out as music box... And it played strings. 192 should have been the flute, but the wrong sound came out too. So I am not sure about how the data is being sent/received between the keyboard and QWS, but at least the instruments (and banks) change...

I have many sounds on my keyboard which are not represented on the instrument list, but I don't know their bank/program numbers!
