Title: Yamaha mox 6
Post by: jimmiez on February 06, 2012, 12:20:21 PM
I have the new Yamaha mox6 keyboard and getting a Samsung slate to run the varranger.  How would I connect and what additional items do I need, midi cable?  Thanks

If you plan to use the mox6 as midi keyboard + sound module Just plug the USB cable from the MOX6 to the Slate

Dan. This is great but how do I use it?

On vArranger, just press LOAD and open this file. Then when you click on the button INS, it will display a list with all the MOX sounds, and you will be able to select them on any of the 16 midi channels.

The Samsung slate may not work for me. I have a MacBook Pro.. Will the V work with this Mac?

Yes, but you have to install Windows 7 with BootCamp

Dan- didn't you use a MacBook pro at one time but switched to a window pc?  Did you experience issues using the Mac?  Also, how large is the V file for downloading?  Thanks.

Installing a bootcamp partition will give you 2 different computers inside the same computer.

You can decide if you want to boot on Windows, or on Mac

There is no problems between the 2

I am personally using a Mac Book Pro too

stupid question...I see two types of SD2 on google.  One is the arranger and the other is the orchestral.  Which one do I get?  Also, where is the best site to buy from?   thanks
Title: Re: Yamaha mox 6

There is no SD2 arranger. Only orchestral wizard.
Ask to Deane who bought his SD2 in USA.
Where are you from?

Dan, what version of windows do I need with Bootcamp or do I to run varranger?  I was going to install Bootcamp this weekend.
Title: Re: Yamaha mox 6
Post by: Dan on February 09, 2012, 08:29:07 PM
Any versions of Windows 7
Title: Re: Yamaha mox 6

I Currently run Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro.  It runs really well and vArranger runs flawlessly on it.  You can use BootCamp, an Apple free program, to install Windows 7 on a separate partition on the MacBook.  You will automatically boot to the Apple OS but can boot to Windows by holding down the control key during boot up.  I am NOT running the new 'LION" apple OS on my MacBook.  It has a few flaw Apple hasn't fixed yet when using BootCamp.

How large is the varranger file to download ?  Also, once downloaded, will I have access immediately to get me up and running?
Title: Re: Yamaha mox 6
Post by: Bernie9 on February 11, 2012, 09:43:32 AM
Very small and yes
Title: Re: Yamaha mox 6
Post by: jimmiez on February 11, 2012, 12:18:33 PM
Thanks. So do you think 20gb is sufficient for the partition of Bootcamp ?  Looking at all styles you have available and other downloads that is available by members

Load 32 or 64 bit windows to work with V?
Title: Re: Yamaha mox 6
Post by: Dan on February 11, 2012, 08:37:22 PM
How many GB of RAM do you have?

With 32 bit you can access only 3GB of ram.

I personally installed the Windows 7 32bit , and use only 3GB of 4GB available, but it is enough for me.

But vArranger is working OK on 64 bits OS too

On my 500 GB Hard drive, I did a partition of 100 GB for Windows. But since I am using 99% of time my Windows OS, I regret to not did a bigger partition.

I've successfully installed windows 7 64 bit on my MacBook pro and just ordered the varranger. Can't wait to get started using the V.
