Open (Files Menu)
Purpose:
Open displays a File Selector to open a disk file. The file type can be a component (Patch or Bank), Collection, Set, Library, Studio or Desktop. If the standard Sound Quest extension is not used for the file type, the correct type must be chosen in the "List Files of Type" selector in the lower left corner of the File Selector Dialog. Failure to do so will result in an error when loading the file.
The extensions for files are as follows:
.SQS - Midi Quest Set file opened in Set Window
.SQL - Midi Quest Library opened in a Library Window
.SQC - Midi Quest Collection opened in a Collection Window
.SQ9 - Midi Quest Studio file replaces the current Studio
.SQW - Midi Quest Desktop layout file - all current windows are closed and the new layout is opened
.SQZ - Midi Quest instrument file to be expanded and installed into the Studio window
.MQR - Midi Quest Remote file is opened into a Midi Quest Remote window
.MQOSC - Midi Quest OSC layout file is opened into an OSC Editor window
.fxb - attempts to extract and load a Set file stored in the VST file
.syx - is imported and Set or editor windows are created depending on the contents of the file. See Studio window for more information
.mid - is imported and Set or editor windows are created depending on the contents of the file. See Studio window for more information
.lib - import the file as a SoundDiver library file (Midi Quest Pro only)
.UBK - import the file as a Unisyn bank file (Midi Quest Pro only)
any other extensions are considered to be a Bank or single components and loaded as such.
Midi Quest Pro supports all listed file formats. Other versions of Midi Quest will support a subset of these files.
