Midi Quest Yamaha FS-1R Editor and Librarian
for Macintosh and Windows
Sound Quest's
Midi Quest multi-instrument editor/librarian gives you the tools to get the most from your Yamaha FS-1R.
Midi Quest includes all of the standard features you would expect to
find in a FS-1R Editor and Librarian along with unique capabilities found
nowhere else.
MIDI Quest Pro, Midi Quest and Midi Quest Essentials allow you to manage the following SysEx from the FS-1R: Performance Bank (Int), Performance Bank (Prst A), Performance Bank (Prst B), Performance Bank (Prst C), Performance, Voice Bank (128 Voices), Voice Bank (64 Voices), Voice Part 1, Voice Part 2, Voice Part 3, Voice Part 4, Voice Bank (Prst A), Voice Bank (Prst B), Voice Bank (Prst C), Voice Bank (Prst D), Voice Bank (Prst E), Voice Bank (Prst F), Voice Bank (Prst G), Voice Bank (Prst H), Voice Bank (Prst I), Voice Bank (Prst J), Voice Bank (Prst K), Formant Sequence, Formant Sequence 1, Formant Sequence 2, Formant Sequence 3, Formant Sequence 4, Formant Sequence 5, Formant Sequence 6 and System.
Integrate the FS-1R with your DAW and use it the same way as a
soft-synth or run the editor as a separate application connected to
your FS-1R. You can display, edit, tweak, organize, audition,
archive and manage your FS-1R from the focal point of your
studio. Midi Quest Pro offers the widest selection of editor/librarian
plug-in technologies: AU, VST3, VST2, AAX, MFX, and Studio Connections.
Just as an audio plug-in is loaded by a host, the Yamaha
FS-1R Editor and Librarian is designed as a module. This module runs in the
following versions of Midi Quest: MIDI Quest Pro, Midi Quest and Midi Quest Essentials.
Every version of Midi Quest includes complete Editor and Librarian
support for the FS-1R. The more advanced versions of Midi Quest
include additional features such as plug-in capabilities, patch generators,
and advanced tools to manage larger MIDI systems and patch
collections.
Below is a
small sampling of Midi Quest features. For more detail on
