Dynacord DLS 300 Editor and Librarian
Midi Quest for Macintosh and Windows
Sound Quest's
Midi Quest multi-instrument editor/librarian gives you the tools to get the most from your Dynacord DLS 300.
Midi Quest includes all of the standard features you would expect to
find in a DLS 300 Editor and Librarian along with unique capabilities found
nowhere else.
MIDI Quest Pro, Midi Quest and Midi Quest Essentials allows you to manage the following SysEx from the DLS 300: Factory Presets, Program Bank, Program, System and Remote.
Integrate the DLS 300 with your DAW and use it the same way as a
soft-synth or run the editor as a separate application connected to
your DLS 300. You can display, edit, tweak, organize, audition,
archive and manage your DLS 300 from the focal point of your
studio. Midi Quest Pro offers the widest selection of editor/librarian
plug-in technologies: AU, VST3, VST2, AAX, and MFX.
Below is a small sampling of Midi Quest features.
