I use Yamaha MM6 as my input keyboard with vArranger.
So I have 2 options how to produce sounds:
1) to use vArrangers synth or any other sound from PC (VSTi)
2) to use the sounds of the keyboard (keyboard in PC mode)
I would like to ask:
If I use sf2, then I can use "INS & SF2" button to chose a sound for selected track.
But how to do it if I use my keyboard (XG compatible)
The "Select sound" table is clean, and I can select only sounds from the bank 0,
so I can't change for example drum kits.
Other question:
When I press key for example "A4" I hear "A3"
So I must use octave +1 in the vArranger.
Then it plays correctly.
But everytime I start the program, the octave is reset to 0.
1. You need to find the Instrument definition file (INS) of the MM6, so you will see the MM6 sound names in the INS screen.
Or maybe you can try the MOTIF XS RACK mode in vArranger? Maybe sounds are 90% the same...
2. SAVE STARTUP CONFIG
Im pretty sure that the MM6 is not XG, when I experimented with one I used the GM setting
