Midi Quest 13 for Windows supports 4k/hiDPI MonitorsMidi Quest 13 adds customized management for 4k hDPI monitors with Windows 10 and Windows 11.All Midi Quest 13 windows including Patch Editors, Bank Editors, Sets, Libraries, Collections, the Studio, and all ancillary windows now make optimal use of 4k screen resolution. Midi Quest automatically transitions when it is moved between 4k and standard resolution monitors and uses the scaling specified in Windows to render all windows. When using the recommended scaling for a 4k monitor, you get both higher quality font and graphic rendering along with more usable screen space. Midi Quest 13's new collection of thousands of high resolution MIDI instrument and device images provide higher quality rendering for 4k monitors. Midi Quest 13 intelligently manages these high resolution images and only loads and renders them when they will improve the program's appearance. When using Midi Quest 13 with a lower resolution monitor, it will load and render just as quickly as Midi Quest 12. These new images make a real difference to the look and feel of Midi Quest 13.

Expanding the Zone - the Patch Zone Expands Again - by 90,000...Looking for inspiration?Sound Quest's latest patch collection for Midi Quest 13 adds over 90,000 patches and now offers over 270,000 unique patches that are available in Midi Quest. The Patch Zone tracks which instrument and type of SysEx you are working with and automatically lists available patches. Looking for a Korg Nautilus or Kronos Program? The Patch Zone will list over 30,000 available programs you can audition with the click of a button or add them to your banks, collections or libraries. Switch to a D-50 Patch editor and the Patch Zone window will now automatically display over 14,000 patches, increased substantially from Midi Quest 12. The Midi Quest 13 Patch Zone also features a new tag filter. Select any tag from a list unique to each instrument and only matching patches are displayed in the Patch Zone, making it even faster to find the patch you're search for.  The Patch Zone window is fully integrated into Midi Quest. To audition a patch from the Patch Zone, click on it, just as you would in a bank or library, and the patch is sent to the instrument so you can evaluate it. Like a patch? Drag and drop it into a bank, editor, library, collection or set to incorporate it into your existing SysEx. |

Enhanced Set and Bank EditorsMidi Quest 13's Set Editor shows each SysEx Patch name in the left column. A quick overview of all of the patches used by a multi-timbral synth is now just a glance away. Its also easier to move a new sound into the correct multi-timbral patch location, and easier to verify that a new patch has been dragged and dropped to the correct location.For multi-timbral instruments, in the past, editing a patch meant switching the instrument from multi-timbral mode to single patch mode working on the sound then returning to multi mode. Now, for multi-timbral instruments which support editing patches in performance mode, such as most synths from Roland, Access, Waldorf, Novation, and Alesis, you can choose to edit the patch in either single patch mode or in multi-timbral mode. This allows patches to be developed in the context of the other sounds being used by a project. A single document can be created to display all of a Set's parent/child relationships. The components in a Set can now be displayed as either a single list, or grouped by SysEx type. It's your choice. Midi Quest 13's new Bank Editor features an optional Info view pane which displays all parent and child relationships of a patch along with its assiged tags and properties. |

Enhanced Patch Parameter EditorsTo take full advantage of the additional resolution provided by 4k screens required Sound Quest to update every editor module for each of the over 1000 supported MIDI devices in Midi Quest. That means thousands of individually updated editors for Midi Quest 13.Not only do patch parameter editors render based on the Windows Scaling setting but both Mac and Windows versions of Midi Quest 13 include a second scaling value to allow for even larger editors. (Feature not available in "Custom" editors: Korg Kronos, Korg Nautilus, and most Psicraft editors) Remote editing with CC and NRPN MIDI messages has been improved. All CC and NRPN assignments can now be viewed from a new tab in the Settings dialog and each control's CC and NRPN assignments can be made from the same location instead of requiring the "Learn" function. The number edit control has been updated with interactive up/down arrows to make small value parameter changes easier. A new list dialog allows long item lists, such as selecting a sample or a new patch for a multi-timbral part, to be filtered so a selection from a smaller, more manageable list is possible. |

Patch Category Import to TagsA popular request for Midi Quest 13 was that it be able to import and use the category or patch description information assigned in many instrument patches and use it as part of Midi Quest's tag system. Sound Quest has made this a feature of the new release.For instruments which include this feature (a list of MIDI devices which support this feature can be found on the Upgrade Details page), the Settings dialog now includes a new button to import the category information. Midi Quest 13 does this by obtaining the complete list of descriptors that the instrument uses internally and adds these to Midi Quest's master tag list. Midi Quest then get the specific descriptor or category assigned to the selected patch and assigns it to the patch as a tag. This system is extremely powerful and flexible. Midi Quest can assign tags to patches individually, to some or all of the patches in a bank, or to some or all of the patches in a libray. The image to the left shows tags added to a Novation Peak library by selecting all of the patches and choosing Library / Tags / Assign Category as a Tag from the menus. After performing this operation once, the descriptors used in the instrument will also be available to be assigned as tags in Midi Quest. |
