vArranger Forums

A firmware update seemed to solve both problems. The storage of the GM voice and the localcontrol issue. Thanks for your support.

Maybe a problem with the firmware?

How can I check on the moXF that the song "vArranger" is still on GM setting? Right now I try it out by playing a style from vArranger.

Still won't work.
It is not the second option, I checked.

Maybe the GM setting is actually stored with the song (how to check?), but the problem is a different one. I noticed that vArranger obviously sends at start up some commands to the moXF, changing some settings. I don't know which ones, but maybe some that are connected with the "GM" setting. I found it out, because after the start up of vArranger the moXF shows in the display for SONG/MIXING an "E" in the upper right corner, indicating that there are changes, that have not been saved. Same is true for the UTILITY display. A have to put LOCALCONTROL to off again manually and apply the "GM" setting again manually, then it works.

Any idea on how to make the GM setting permanent. After power off the moFX forgets the setting, even though I saved the mixing under the song name "vArranger". The GM tick box is empty again.

Thank you very much Joel. It worked. You made my day. Now I have to tweak the voices a little bit, according to your tutorial. I think this will keep me busy for a while. Do you have preprogrammed tweaks so that the Yamaha Styles use "automatically" the better sounding specific Motif voices instead of GM.

Another question: When I play specic Motif voices like "Tenor Growl AF1" I can influence them during live play on Motif with the buttons "Assignable Function 1/2". Is it possible to do the same, when I play via vArranger?

Yes, but in SONG Mode I can't select the GM bank with the buttons mentioned. I think the voices should be selected automatically by the Bank Select/Program Change information in the MIDI file or style.

Gerard, thanks. I can only use these buttons when I'm in Voice Mode. When I then select the GM bank the moXF plays only track 1 of a Midi file, but with the actual selected voice of the bank.

@Dan: I play Tyros styles.

@Gerard: How do I do this?

Hello,
I try to get vArranger running with my Yamaha moXF6. For MIDI Out I'm using the MOTIF XS option. I can select the voices for the right hand at the right column and via the INS button. It sounds good. But when I try to play a style or even a standard GM MIDI file it sounds horrible. I guess the wrong voices are selected. I have seen a nice demo on Youtube playing Tyros styles with the moXF with vArranger. What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Joerg
