Anybody using the Novation SL Mk11 keyboard, I just got home with one and would appreciate any hints or tips for use with Varranger

I think you can even get the LED feedback with that keyboard. It is maybe a little hard to configure. But it is very good kb !

This seems to be a ridiculously difficult machine to set up

with I'd have got the A800 at £130 less

I sent a couple of pm's to xuanvuz but haven't heard from him yet

HEEEELLLLLP

ok, I've just managed to get all the controllers set up in Advanced Mode, modifying the template by changing all the buttons to Momentry.

It works ok, but I would like to get the LED Feedback Working

So first, select the novation for the led feedback midi
Can you post a screenshot of the midiports, so I can see the MIDI devices list

I think it is OK...

I can see a yellow error message behind. Maybe MIDI are not connected.

Try set the computer's energy in Performance Mode, then unplug and replug the SL

Then Run vArranger again

I have just purchased a Novation SL Mk 2 to use with Varranger. What is the best mode to use Advanced or Automap

From what I can see the set up with advanced mode seems to give me a lot more control and I can get the feedback lights to work although a lot harder to set up. However Automap seems to offer the extra bonus of VSI control which I hope to get into at a later stage.

Comments appreciated

You should not use AUTOMAP mode

vArranger own his own special mode for the SLMKII

vArranger can control VST instruments too : http://www.varranger.com/vforum/index.php?topic=1760.0

I think vArranger become the best VST host software:)
