Demo Limitations

Midi Quest demos can be downloaded from Sound Quest's web site at www.squest.com/Downloads.html.

Demos are a completely separate application from the full release versions of Midi Quest. They can't be upgraded to the full version of Midi Quest. After purchasing Midi Quest, installing the full release version will overwrite the demo version.

Midi Quest demos don't expire. There is no need to be concerned that the demo will stop working before a decision to purchase has been made.

The following limitations apply to the demo versions of Midi Quest:

1) No SysEx saves or exports

2) No SysEx bulk dumps from Midi Quest to MIDI devices except for auditioning patches from a bank and transferring edits from an editor to a MIDI device. This includes no "Recall" in plug-ins since recall is a SysEx bulk dump from the plug-in to the instrument.

3) When testing an instrument editor, parameter edits for the first 8 parameters edited are sent to the instrument as long as editing uses individual parameter update messages. Edits made to additional parameters are displayed on the screen but not sent to the instrument. Instruments which only offer editing via complete patch bulk dump offer no editing capabilities in demo mode

4) Patch Zone - access is disabled

5) Midi Quest Pro only - Unfortunately, demo limitations are in direct conflict with plug-in requirements and the normal means of providing an audio plug-in demo by disabling or damaging the audio output doesn't work with Midi Quest because there is no audio output. For this reason, we don't include demos of the plug-ins.

6) No support for CC and NRPN remote editing

7) Only the first two patches in a library can be selected for editing or auditioning

8) Only the first two entries in a collection can be selected for editing or auditioning

9) Only the first four entries in a bank can be opened in a patch editor for editing

10) Only the first four entries in a bank can be auditioned

11) Since bulk dumps are disabled, the Synchronization functionality in Midi Quest doesn't work in the demo
