Hi. So I installed QWS on my computer and I have a midi controler with no
built-in sounds. I have tried to connect it to the program, but I am not able
to play with my controler. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If your keyboard natively connects via a USB cord, turn on the piano's
power via the switch, plug both ends in and let Windows 'see" the device.
I had an M-Audio Keystudio (also with 49 keys) that used a common USB
printer cable with a squared end on the opposite side for the piano proper.
Make sure QWS is not already running!
Open QWS and go to Options Ports.
If a "MIDI In Devices" section appears here, your piano got picked up.
Arrow down to its entry then Tab over to give a unique name to the
device in QWS.
Just for a laugh, I was thinking to call it "Breathe" or "Breath" (or
better, "Air".
Then Tab over to the "Use This Port" checkbox making sure it's checked.
Shift+Tab twice back to the list because you'll need a default output too.
And unfortunately for most of us newbies who haven't been there or done
that before, it's the crappy Microsoft WaveTable.
Arrow down to this entry (Which even claims "Use Cautiously") and Tab
over to "Use This Port" checkbox to tick this as well.
Say OK and now we go to Options \ Instruments.
In here, the Microsoft table will be the only device listed.
Tab over to the drop-down list and choose "General MIDI Instrument".
Say OK here and we're off to the races.
BTW, the latency on this output device is incorrigibly horrible, but
it'll have to do.
Care to open a MIDI file (with a .mid extention)?
