MidiQuest 10 XL Hybrid - NEW

Midi Quest 10 & XL Highlights

Along with the hundreds of "small" improvements, Midi Quest 10 and Midi Quest 10 XL add major enhancements such as: multi-threaded MIDI I/O, which can cut SysX download times from 50 - 75% or more; Studio Connections plug-in support for all 650 instruments; brand new VST and MFX plug-ins - yes, that's new - and we even enhanced the old ones too; video tutorials are back, 12 hours worth; and finally, 64-bit versions of Midi Quest XL and all of its plug-ins. That's just the beginning of the list.

We know you'll enjoy this new version...

New VST and MFX Plug-ins

The first plug-in is an enhanced version of the original. This version can load any Midi Quest data file into your host sequencer as a plug-in. What's new is the plug-in's ability to load as well as send MIDI data so you can add patches to a Library or update a Set from a plug-in stead of having to load up Midi Quest.

The updated VST and MFX plug-ins now receive CC events either from the sequencer track or external MIDI hardware and use these to remotely edit instrument parameters. The VST plug-in also includes enhanced automation features to match those available in the MFX plug-in so you can now automatically trigger SysX transmissions when the data is loaded, when the sequencer starts, when the sequencer loops, and when the sequencer stops playing.

The second VST and MFX plug-ins are completely new and appear in your list of VST or MFX lists as individual instruments. For example, if your studio contains an M1, a Motif, and a JV-1080, your VST plug-in list would list each of those three instruments separately. Choose an instrument and a custom sized Set window appears. Load data in from the instrument or read a Set file in from disk and you're ready to go.

These new plug-ins are designed to let you treat each piece of MIDI hardware as an integrated component in your sequencer, just like a soft-synth. All of the Midi Quest XL's SysX data is stored in your sequence file so when you take your sequence to another computer, the Midi Quest data automatically comes along with it.

Studio Connections - the New MIDI Hardware Plug-in Standard

Midi Quest 10 XL currently supports all Studio Connections on both Windows and Macintosh with features including Total Recall and access to the host sequencer's MIDI ports. In Windows, this allows Midi Quest XL to work effectively as a plug-in even if your MIDI interface has only single-client drivers.

It's a 64-bit World out there...

With Midi Quest 10 XL, you can start using a 64-bit sequencer any time you want. Midi Quest 10 XL includes x64 compatible versions of all of its VST, Studio Connections*, and MFX plug-ins.

Midi Quest Dramatically Improves SysX transfers

Midi Quest 10 features multi-threaded MIDI I/O. What does this mean? It means that you can send SysX data out every MIDI port of each of your MIDI interfaces simultaneously. If you need to send SysX to two or more instruments at the same time, you don't have to wait for each instrument to receive its data, just start a transmit for each instrument and you're done. And even then, you still don't have to wait. The MIDI I/O window that you're so familiar with is gone! If you've got another instrument that isn't receiving a bulk download, you can edit it, audition patches, try out a mix or blend, anything. You won't even know that you're downloading except for some blinking in the MIDI Monitor window.

As a result of this change, you'll also find that all editor graphics are now as smooth as silk.

This is a huge time savings of an enhancement!
