Help with Gmega and MidiQuest Xl9

Help with Gmega and MidiQuest Xl9

2005-02-22 by Wender Reis

My uncle gave me one Gmega Kawai module. I have one Yamaha PSR-520 
and I tried to use Gmega. Nice sounds, but all general MIDI sounds. 
I have Midiquest Xl 9 and I try to edit sounds. Is there one site 
with help to set up sounds like "depht, shape" to create new sounds? 
I want to create nice piano sounds and electrical keyboards. Can I 
use the other sysex (roland, korg) to import to my gmega? Can I put 
really nice polyphonic sounds? How?

Thanks to help me.

Hello, Wender!

I don't have a GMega, so I can't provide any direct suggestions, but
it's not a bad idea to start with an existing sound patch. You could
use one of the factory sounds, for example. and  change individual
parameters while listening carefully for how the sound changes. 

I do not know of a way to import sounds directly from other synth's
patches (roland or korg, for example), though you may be able to
create similar sounds by looking at the parameters and recereating
them as well as you can on a GMega patch.

Synth patch design is both an art and a science. One good way to start
is simply to get your hands dirty. Having a solid foundation of basic
sound/music theory also might help.

Good luck,
Ben
