issues with Yamaha midi keyboard -ACID Product Family

Subject:issues with Yamaha midi keyboard Posted by: garybeck Date:5/6/2016 11:55:21 AM Hi, I am new to midi.... I returned the cheapo midi controller and got a Yamaha PSR-E353. I could use a little advice on a couple things: 1) The volume is low on the midi recordings. When I'm playing along I can't hear the sound of the keyboard enough and I want to turn it up. I have put the slider on the track all the way up but it still istn' loud enough compared to the other recorded tracks. I enabled inline midi editing and selected all the notes, right click, and set the velocity to maximum and that helped a bit, but I don't think that's what I'm supposed to do. Is there any way I can increase the play and record volume other than using the slider on the track? 2) It seems to be buggy with ACID. Every once in a while when I am doing playback on a midi track, it goes silent and I can't get it to make a sound. Only closing ACID and starting over makes it work again. Also occasionally all the midi sounds are screwed up. no matter what note I play it sounds like someone tapping on a pipe in a sewer. (this is through the computer, the keyboard sounds correct). If I wait a few minutes or reboot the program or change midi channel I can get it to sound right again. Any advice on these issues? thanks! Also is there a manual for ACID10?

Velocity would just ensure how "hard" or "soft" that note plays. The overall volume is controlled by the VSTi. (I don't recall Sony DLS Synth having a dedicated volume but I know most 3rd-party VSTis do.) 2) MIDI volume going kablooey is not something new; a restart always solves it on my end too. Never had that other "pipe in a sewer" issue, though.
