MIDI Quest vs. Sound Diver, others?


Scott
 

OK, so here's my deal. I added a bunch of new gear to my home studio,
and I'm looking for a good editor/librarian program (for PC). I've
played around with MIDI Quest 7.0 and Sound Diver a little, but not
thoroughly enough to prefer one over the other. (Although I was
getting slightly better results with Sound Diver.)

I'm using a DX-100 and 2 FB-01's, and having a difficult time getting
everything to work at the same time. If I just hook up one device,
editing is no prob, but all hell breaks loose when I hook 'em all up
together. I thought that all the channels were correct, but I guess
not, if it only recognizes 1 of the FB's. The path was something like
this:

PC MIDI OUT -> FB-01 IN,
FB-01 OUT -> DX-100 IN,
DX-100 OUT -> FB-01 #2 IN,
FB-01 #2 OUT -> PC MIDI IN.

I've tried this several different ways, but this seemed to be the
simplest. (One day at work I spent my lunch hour drawing little
charts. :) When I figure out how to program all this stuff, I plan to
do some live shows, with a QX3 sequencer (which is much easier to set
up).

Any pointers for my programming dilemma? I'm still new to MIDI, so
anything other than RTFM would be helpful. ;)

Thanks in advance,

Scott

I¡¯d also feel safe in saying that Sound Diver is my editor librarian of choice.

You will need to get a better midi interface that allows connecting ?the in and out of each synth to the PC independantly. You can not edit all the synths, or any of them I¡¯d say, by the chart you posed below.

Yeah, you have to connect like this:


Pc out> midi in

Midi Thru> Midi In

Midi Thru> Midi In



Midi Outs don't echo the inputs, just the midi thru port does this.

Hi,

first of all you probably have to use the MIDI Thru port instead the OUT to
cascade the synths...

Computer Out DX100 IN (since it's the only one with keyboard and I guess you
use your computer as sequencer)
DX100 Out Computer MIDI IN
DX100 MIDI Thru FB01 #1 MIDI IN
FB01 #1 MIDI Thru FBO1 #2 MIDI IN

When programming sounds and your computer is not having enough MIDI In for
every device, you can't request the memory of the synth and the software
isn't able to recognise the synth, so at least on sounddiver you should be
able to install the devices manually. You also should be able to edit and
store sound then, but you have to change the device ID for one FB01 and of
course have to set the devices IDs for the synths manualy on sounddiver too...

That at least should work, I never tried it, since I'm having a MIDI In and
a Out for every of my synths...
