Re: Getting MIDI Files out of the QY70
The only thing I've not managed to get running on MX is the
SoundTower Wavestation Editor. I'll try it again now I know the QY
one works. I may well have done something wrong setting it up.

plain MIDI files.
this indeed holds for several pieces of "for Windows only"

No need on my side for a SM card.

I haven’t traveled with the QY (in fact, took it out of it’s original box a few months ago), but I store it at home on this case:
It is exactly the width for the QY100 (so the QY70 does fit too). It has rigid foam (for impacts) and soft foam to keep things in place. Nothing bounces around. The hinge goes down and pushes a special protection, working as a protection against scratching the QY and to keep it from moving side to side. Has space for the AC power, an extension cable for the DC power, headphones and the card (I took it out of the new package when I opened the QY100).

Hi all,
I just thought I'd ask what you all use to protect your QY's when you take them out of the house? (I've got two QY70's)
I can't see anything like a DeckSaver that would fit. I carry mine in a padded bag, but it's loose inside and I'm nervous about the screen, particularly, with the power supply knocking about inside with it.
All thoughts and ideas welcome :)
Regards
Andy

Re: Getting MIDI Files out of the QY70
seem to recall that the pattern files are *.sty style files,? - or *Q1P?
can't remember if these open in CasmEdit style editor -something i checked out a long time ago-
... where style files are concatenated MIDI files, with separators between sections?
the SM card on the QY100 does not let you import/export *.mid files directly, but the DataFiler does, -i think?-

Hi mate , yes I use them together. I have two due to memory constraints and not enough time between songs in a live environment?to download from the card. I have a midi switch that allows me to select which QY 100 is setting the tempo on my synth (Alesis micron) and the QYs play drums and bass while I play arps , chords and lead breaks on the micron

Re: Getting MIDI Files out of the QY70
Evening all,
I appreciate that I'm replying to my own message from 14 months
ago. :)
Since then I've abandoned Windoze (unless I'm getting paid to use
it) and moved over to Linux. In case it's useful to anyone, I just
wanted to confirm that the QYFiler works fine in MX Linux 19.3
(using WINE). I've been able to back up and restore ALL and
individual songs. I've not tried Patterns yet, that's next on my
playlist. See screenshot.
Regards,
Andy

I bought something similar to this. The PSU lives elsewhere in my travelling rig, so it just holds the QY and seems to protect it well enough.

Hey Eric,
Indeed, queueing a midi message will introduce a delay. midi delay using 5-pin DIN is a fact, but we often ignore how much of a delay it is!
MIDI 1.0 speed: 31.25 kb/s = 3906.25 words/s
Since Note ON/Note OFF/CC midi messages(mm) are all 3 bytes, we get an average speed of: 1302 mm/s, or 1.302 mm/ms, or 13/10 mm/ms, or 13 mm per 10 ms Or 1 mm = 10/13 ms.
So a keyboard playing a chord 1/3/5/7/9/13 , all 6 notes played at the same time, will be outputted in serial order, with the last note at 4.6 ms. A super fast sweep of the mod wheel in 1ms, assuming it transmits all the values 0-127 without skipping, will be transmitted in 98.46ms. If we add our chord, we have already over 1/10 seconds of delay. That is, without a doubt, noticeable. And that is just one cable! What about sending the same message via midi thru, or hardware splitter, to 16 synths in one cable? That is 1.6 seconds of latency. Incredible! And that is without queuing! Straight from a keyboard and without taking any other device in the middle. This is a reason to support both USB MIDI (Same protocol but way faster speeds, however may include extra latency/jitter), modular analog synths (0 delay) and DAWs using VSTs (most daws automatically adjust latency for 0 delay on VSTs output).?
But being honest, our example is heavily exaggerated, since a full sweet is never that fast (a 100 ms sweep is really fast, a 1ms sweep is programmed only). And even at 100ms, we still have many midi messages to spare (they go between the sweep messages). I use multiple synths (10) with just one cable, and move multiple CC changes in each synth without a hiccup. I have only experienced issues with some heavy continuous data (like multiple poly aftertouch, or regular use of the linnstrument will exceed this limit). This is a reason to keep each synth on a different cable, and the main question I had with the midihub: Max input speed, which makes sense has to be the same as the output, since it’s done in 5-pin Din.?
Decades ago, never heard complains of the tightness of drums via MIDI, only until the DAW era. The latency/jitter of the DAW midi interface before each single message can make it really high. But using just midi DIN on a no-latency drum machine, 6 percussion elements at the same beat, it will be 4.6ms delayed, and that may be noticeable, at least to some people.
MIDI devices have 3 options on RX overflow (exceeded MIDI bandwidth on INPUT): Queuing, Crashing or Ignore. But ignore is really hard to program, since you do not know if a NOTE OFF message was received. This will leave voices hanging (that’s why the PANIC button was added early on MIDI synths/devices). Crashing is the worst, because will stop ALL data flow until the device is reset, and still need PANIC buttons.The optimal is always QUEU, since you can hear if you are sending too much msgs. (Make a test of tons of modulation 0-127 on 16 tracks that you can hear, and go against a beat on another track. you will definitely hear how the MIDI device will take time to catch up.
BTW, this is a nice study measuring MIDI latency and perceptual latency of sound via MIDI.
Widi jacks: they advertise as low latency (3ms), however that is the best case scenario! Plus jitter DOES happen! And disconnections? Im always dubious of wireless transmissions.
Stay safe, Kaltar

Queing for some sysex or CC messages makes sense, but generally speaking if a message is late (like a note or a n lfo sweep) it will likely make the song sound worse than had it never arrived.
Crashing is obviously the worst, but personally I think there should be a light to indicate overflow... like the clipping light on a mic input. ? It certainly would make debugging midi channels alot easier.?
BTW, I just picked up a few WIDI jacks that should arrive soon, they are pretty cool (on paper anyway) as they not only do wireless point-to-point out of the box, they can also do a star network pattern where one jack can talk to upto 4 others. ? Plus they are MIDI *or* USB powered... which is the best of both worlds IMHO.?
In regards to any MIDI box purchase (from any vendor) you might to make sure the device is supporting the new MIDI spec... ?it finally goes far beyond the 33K data speed. ?
Here’s a link if anyone is interested: ? (Note: Shipping per unit is a bit pricey IMHO, but becomes a bit more reasonable if you order several)

Hi,
?Don't know the reply to that, so I asked midhubs forum and got this reply from the developer.
"Hey, the amount of messages per second is limited by MIDI bandwidth which is 3125 bytes per second. Most messages are 3 bytes long. Bursts of data when it exceeds the bandwidth (for example when merging multiple MIDI inputs to single output) get queued, and sent out as soon as possible, so data is not lost. SysEx merging is also queued, so multiple transactions don’t overlap each other."
?I have no affiliation with midihub, it was a quest that started with "I need a midi router" and ended with "should have bought this long time ago".
Best,
Daniel

I think the MidiHub is the only equivalent to the MEP4. The MEP4 gets an error if you surpass 1000 messages per second (the internal buffer overloads). And while that is never an issue with a single keyboard, it does happen a lot when using a sequencer with lots of modulations going on.

?Hi,
No issues with it so far. It's a pretty refined tool by now. (still being maintained on the software and firmware side)
You will find many applications for it besides filtering.
When searching, found this but it I think it wont solve your issue.
Best,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel. I’ve seen the Midihub before and seems like a good alternative. Is it the only one you know of? Have you had any crash?
