WHAT FEAURE DO YOU WANT FOR THE 100th VERSION ? THE VERSION IS READY !

[Dan]

Since the begining of the vArranger adventure, a lot of new features were added.

We are at the 99th version ! And the 100th version will go out soon.

What do you want to add into this anniversary version ?

Here is the list of the new features in the coming 100th version (V1.00)

- SAVE SONG with Yamaha styles.

- You can now save the midi port used with the style.  So for example when you want to assign the bass chanel to a second midi module, or to that special VST, then save the song.     When you will recall it, all your modules assignations will be recalled, to be ready to play at a click of a button ! So you can really use 2 sounds modules with vArranger.

- For thoses musicians who own only a very small amount of buttons to control vArranger, we added 3 new ITEMS in the CONTROLLERS screen :
        - FILL IN :   If you want only ONE button/pedal to control the FILL IN feature.  The 4 fill ins will be triggered with only ONE button, depending on the current played variation.
        - VARIATION UP            : So you can only use 1 button to go from MAIN A to MAIN B to MAIN C to MAIN D
        - VARIATION DOWN      : So you can only use 1 button to go from MAIN D to MAIN C to MAIN B to MAIN A

- Corrected bad orchestrations on some Yamaha styles.

- Numbers displayed in the Sounds and Songs lists buttons, to help you selecting the right one

- In the SAVE SONG screen, you have a checkbox to SAVE ALL the options in one click

- RESTART for Yamaha style is now working correctly

Dan,

I look forward the feature allowing to mute in one shot all Styles tracks except the Drums1&2 and Bass tracks. I'm often interested, during a jam, in simplifying the accompaniement to a minimimum, then to begin again with the A variation.

I consider that the A variations in styles generally are already too complex. This feature could give us a kind of supplemental variation, very light and basic.

Hope I succeeded in convincing you...and many of our community....Thanks in advance for your job...

Thank you Dan for these new control features. They will be especially valuable for people like me with a Roland FR-7 and its companion pedal unit that has a limited number of pedals. I like how easy it is to define pedal functions in the Controllers window.

[Dan]

Did you try the new FillIns and variation up/down options?

Dan

[OldStudentLeon]

Yes, I did try all three new features, VARIATION UP, VARIATION DOWN, and FILLIN.

The VARIATION UP and VARIATION DOWN work exactly as advertised, allowing me to sequence up and down through all the variations using only two pedal definitions rather than four. For some pieces where it is appropriate to sequence only in the upward direction, I can define only one pedal to change variations, thus allowing me to define other pedals for different purposes, like voice changes and ENDING.

The new FILLIN feature was a very good idea. I find that for some pieces, particularly slow/quiet ones, the use of AUTO FILLIN is not always appropriate when switching variation levels, but desirable at certain points while playing within a particular variation level. Your new FILLIN feature allows me to do exactly that by playing whatever FILLIN is appropriate for the level I happen to be playing at the time.

These seem to be valuable features for people using the Roland FR-7 accordion with its companion pedal unit, which of course has only five pedals.
