9. APPENDIX
Non-exhaustive and non-exclusive examples of possible configurations vA2
Good practice example: multiple controller units and different scene instances
What is the best way to have two different instances/scenes of controllers set up. Ie. I have Two different kontroller units but need same controlls over VA. Depending on the gig I will use one or the other controller units. (not both together)
Ie. for set up scene ONE = NanoKontroller with midi accordion.
alternative
Set up TWO = Roland midi controller keyboard with accordion
Close to the vArranger2.exe program, you have a folder called vArrangerData. Inside this folder, there is a file called vArranger2.ini. Everything about your controllers are inside this file. So, You can set the midi ports and controllers for the accordion setup then save the vArranger2.ini and call it vArranger2-ACC.ini You can set the midi ports and controllers for the keyboard setup then save the vArranger2.ini and call it vArranger2-KEYB.ini Then before running vArranger2, decide witch one you want to use and rename it as vArranger2.ini
A good solution.
This again shows the brilliant and ongoing versatility of vArranger. However you got me thinking if I could avoid the renaming. Rather than the slight effort of renaming the "ini" files for different set ups - here is a suggestion.If I created two new FOLDERS (not files) within the vArrangerdata folder and as you suggested I will name one FOLDER "vArranger2-ACC.ini" and the other FOLDER "vArranger2-KEYB.ini".
In each folder I would have the relevant version of the same name "ini" file for each controllers set up option.
I would then simply drag the ini file out of the relevant ini folders into the vArranger data folder as needed for each set up. So all that I will need to do is drag the "ini" file as needed depending on my set up for that gig.
I am aware that having two "ini" files with the same name will require greater care to avoid confusion.
Note : In all these configurations, MIDI connections to vA2 are made via a MIDI interface the number of entries that will be needed (UM-3G Cakewalk by Roland for example - ed)
