I have the same problem with my Qs7 synth.
When I press the stop button in NWC for the second time it sais that all ports and channels will be reset, and then I can do midi-input for a very short moment.
When I use cakewalk I sometimes can record and then the input-indicator will ligt up. But the notes come after each other with a period of approximately 4 seconds and the duration of all the notes is the same.
I hope someone has a solution.
thanks

In NWC, go to Tools | Options | MIDI | Port Usage and set it to Always.

If that fails to help, then you have a with one of the following:

- the computer's software driver setup (reinstall to correct)

- the sound card's MIDI port

- the keyboard

- the MIDI cable

Also, follow the procedures spelled out in the User's Guide if you are unsure how to record or do not know the difference between step-time and real-time note entry in NWC.

I would check the midi setup, as well. It is the bane of these tools that, if one thing is overlooked, it is usually the midi port (I default to ch. 1 for all startup files). I also have three or four instrument definition files, but make sure that I am only using one for the first draft.

I don't know about newer instruments, but earlier Yamaha keyboards used channel 16, rather than 10, as the percussion channel. Try changing the channel for percussion staves.
