Title: Just purchased Dan's Yamaha SoundBank, absolutely recommended!
Post by: paulus1971 on August 26, 2019, 11:11:18 AM
I've been using my vA2 with my roland integra 7, never satisfied with the result. Then 2 weeks ago i purchased Dan's Yamaha SoundBank. Wow!

Most of Tyros4 and Tyros5 styles now sound great and proper. I compared the styles i played using Dan's SoundBank with Tyros4 demo on youtube (the ones with great audio quality), my vA2 and Dan's Yamaha SoundBank "DUO" sounds even a bit better than the Tyros4 on youtube!

Seriously, i recommend vA2 users/owners to buy this SoundBank. I wish i had enough budget to buy Dan's other SoundBanks, but for now, since i am saving my money to buy Yamaha MODX, i will have to be satisfied with Dan's Yamaha SoundBank only, without the other 3 Dan's SoundBanks.

High paulus1971
I'm using the ketron sd2 sound bank from Dan. It sounds very nice. I've bought also the yamaha sound bank. But I could not achieve a good sound for the styles. Could you tell me which samples you have stored in your \vArrangerData\Sounds\SAMPLES directory?  I'm missing the drums samples for the tyros4 in the yamaha set from Dan. Which drum set you have installed?
Thank you.
Thom

What drumset you don't have? If for example you load a tyros4 style?

Hi Dan.
I have installed the tyros sounds as listed on bottom in the directory vArrangerData\Sounds\Samples.
As mentioned I'm playing normaly only with the SD2 sound kit. There I have a file named "SD2 Drums V2.1". In the Tyros4 sound set I can't find such a drum file. Could you please explain to a dummy Tyros4 user what the difference beetween the files "Tyros4 Bank ...." and the "Tyros YA- ..." is? Are this different instruments?
Perhaps the drums are in the file "Tyros4 Bank 000.000-V1.5.vsmpl" aren't they?
Thanks for explain.
Thom

If you are not sure to have all the files, I will send you them again.

 8)The designation of banks has changed over time.
The next version of Genos is still compatible with the Tyros. All the drums kits of the T4 are present for example.
The new designation will be YA-Drums a , Ya-Drums b and Ya-Drums c . 3 Banks because the system does not support enough "entries" to group everything in one bank.
The Genos mainly uses "revo drums" that are much more realistic than the old kits . They also dropped the audio loops even though the latter
can be read by the Genos .

Hello,
I am not satisfied with some of the sounds in the new Genos-soundbank.
Many sounds are programmed with wrong octave-settings.
For example : 8-32-29 WhiterBarsJS and 104-0-17 WhiterbarsFast.
Listen to the Demo https://www.varranger.com/audio/genos.mp3  at 2:52 Organ ChaCha, 8:01 Organ Bossa, 11:36 JazzOrganBallad.
All the Rotarychanges Slow/fast sounds terrible because the Fast-variation is one octave higher than the Slow-variation.
Also 0-110-17 RotarySwitch
       0-111-16 EvenBars
       0-111-17 HolditFast
       0-126-17 JazzSlow
       0-127-17 JazzFast
       ..... many other Organsounds .....
Please listen to the Intro of Style 6-8 SoulBallad. the WhiterbarsFast sounds creepy like a mosquito because 1 octave to high.
And at the end of the demo you hear the French Musette and French Waltz with a Musette-Accordion 1 octave to high.
Also listen to AlpenBallad 2, the Timpani in the percussiontrack, is this a joke or something ?

Generally, to play the Genossounds on the Manuals, i must change the Sound-edit settings of the octave -1, sometimes -2.

Dan, can you check this please ?
Regards !

 ;)  OK jamkey , it's just , I'll fix it in the week . If you see anything else be nice to report it.
If I have the exact references of the defective sounds , I can do it faster .
Title: Re: Just purchased Dan's Yamaha SoundBank, absolutely recommended!
Post by: Jamkey on October 15, 2019, 09:49:01 AM
Almost all of the sounds, excepted the Drumsets and Mega-Voices.
Please do the job again with the correct octave-settings !!
I'll payed for something unusable !!

Who wrote here "absolutely recommended!" ?? >:( >:(

Post by: magali on October 15, 2019, 04:58:28 PM


Don't worry , the sounds are already fixed but I'll take a little more time to check again.

The update will be even better. It will take a short time and then Dan has to do more work
downstream engineering .
Title: Re: Just purchased Dan's Yamaha SoundBank, absolutely recommended!
Post by: Dan on October 15, 2019, 08:23:59 PM
Thank you for reporting this
The Yamaha organ sounds are generally one octave upper compared to other sound modules like Ketron SD2
We will check and correct this in the next bank version
No problem...

Aucune inquiétude a avoir, sachant que Dan et Magali sont perfectionniste .....................
ceci dit, la banque sonne déjà très très bien aucun regret, beau travail

I respect the many work about soundprogramming from Magali and Dan, no misunderstanding !
But sounds programmed 1 octave to high makes the styles sound comical.
It's not only the Organsounds, like someone already encoutered in this topic:
https://www.varranger.com/vforum/index.php/topic,4040.0.html (https://www.varranger.com/vforum/index.php/topic,4040.0.html)
In the last reply, Woge 1000 wrote
QuoteHier fiel mir dann besonders auf, Sounds die ich Midi1 und Midi2 anwähle, die GM2 Sounds sind alle 1 Oktave höher.

I'll be patient till a new version is coming, please Dan and Magali, can you inform us if it is ready ?

Regards, Jamkey.

hi Dan
please point me to the introduction of soundbank products and user manual. I searched the forum and couldn't find it.
Thank you

A good start is to understand how the vArranger Software Synth is working
https://www.varranger.com/wiki/index.php?title=SF2
Our soundbanks are instruments made for our synth that helps to get good compatibility with many styles.

Hi Dan,

please let me also have details to the available soundbanks and what they are best for to use. Or can all soundbanks be used at the same time? do I need to do lots of individual config in the vearious styles to attach specific soundbanks or is VA2 identifying the best to use all by itself?

Thanks for details and prices.

Cheers
Stefan
