MIDIQUEST £235

PROS
• Wide range of instrument support.
• A common 'front end' to synth editing.
• Not obsolete when gear changes.
• Librarian and database functions for versatile data storage.
• Instantly create whole new banks of sounds using randomisation, mixing and blending of existing patches.

CONS
• Looks horrible!
• Manual is a little sketchy.
• Some drivers don't cater for instrument-specific features.
• Drivers don't always edit every available parameter.

SUMMARY
A well-featured multi-instrument editor/librarian which takes the headaches out of patch generation and storage. Especially suited to a complex MIDI setup.
