Hi. I am playing around with QWS and hope to be using it seriously soon. I run a resource center for blind musicians and have been attracted by its ease of use and accessibility in more ways than one.
I wonder whether you could give me guidance on how to get simple instrument sound files that would work better than what I'm getting through the Microsoft GS Wavetable and the cheap default sound card on my computer. There's just too much latency. I don't have a MIDI keyboard with built in sounds hooked up at the moment. My computer has a second sound card, an M-Audio Delta, which I have been using with Cakewalk Sonar and its soft synth generated through the Asio audio drivers. The QWS manual mentions that there are instrument files around on the Internet that could do a similar thing for QWS. Where could I get such files, what do they look like, and what's involved in installing them? Is it possible I already have what I need, courtesy of some directory in Sonar? the instrument table I'm using when I run Sonar is a Sound Canvas emulator called TTS-1. I was also wondering whether you were aware of problems opening the rich text manual on your site with Microsoft Word (I have Office 2003.) I started going through the trouble of opening it in my text editor and getting rid of backslash commands (globally) until I was inspired to try WordPad, which opened it perfectly.
