Yamaha MOXF6 and Varranger!
Here's a demonstration of different Tyros styles in MOXF YAMAHA with VArranger 2.
I preferred to make a comparison of the same styles with Ketron SD2.

Two videos:

I wish you like them ...

ok Dan, thanks for your work.

Thanks Barry .

My problem is similar to yours, so the XS8 as MOXF have a GM Bank, but both keyboards are not specific GM players , that are synths for other uses. My insistence is that I know the MOXF shares many sounds with the latest versions of popular Tyros would be very interesting to hear VArranger Tyros styles with these sounds ...

Either way I am very happy with my MOXF6 for its sound quality, versatility and good integration with Cubase DAW, I did not buy the MOXF for use with VArranger .

A curiosity .... The GM bank sounds are much MOXF quality Ketron SD2 sounds but when you hear them one by one, when you hear the midi file SD2 sounds better most times , it is clear that the SD2 was designed as a good GM player despite having many years also does not give problems with program changes .

Possibly if the MOX MOXF or MOTIF XF users extend our Dan will consider this case study .....

Juan

OK Dan,

I checked the MIDI settings, but found nothing relevant. I also tried with conventional MIDI cable (NOT USB) and the result is the same ...

I appreciate these problems in some styles:

Notes that sound kept permanently (Pads, choirs ...) .... Example:. "Country8Beat" and "CountryBallad"
Percusiom track with sounds that do not correspond (congas sound as Kikcs, other percussion sounds are replaced by pianos ...) .... Example: "BoleroLento"
Some backing tracks played 2 octaves lower .... Example: "00BoyBand"

Yet there are other styles that sound good, when I can I'll upload some video demonstration 

thank Dan!

Yes, the connection between PC and MIDI MOXF is via USB, I downloaded the latest drivers from Yamaha but I do not see a connection problem because some styles work well. Now that I think about it .... I have to check the settings on my midi MOXF, I think than it may need to change some parameter.
If news'll let ...

By the way, what MIDI OUT settings you recommend? ? GM, GM2, MOTIF?

Thanks Dan for your quick response:
Juan

Hello everyone!

Recently I got home my new Yamaha MOXF6, but does not work well, sometimes "strange sounds" are heard in percussion or drums tracks and sometimes a pad or strings hold kept ringing and nonstop.
I tried different settings on MIDI OUT: GM, GM2, Yamaha Motif, but I do not appreciate differences. The tests made ​​with various styles of Yamaha Tyros
I must clarify that some styles sound good but there are many with problems.
Fortunately in my studio is always my dear old SD2 that never fails.

Is there any other user MOXF you can advise me? thanks

Juan

".....Can someone assure me before I order the ipad that it is compatible with the vArranger2?"

Hi John,
this answer should give it to you Dan, but is now enjoying a well deserved vacation 

Still, I'm pretty sure it  that Varranger2 only works on Windows.

Is common in Chinese stores such products.

Hi Terry!

Thanks for advertising 
I would add that if all goes according to me I think it is possible that in less than a month I have my Yamaha MOXF6 in my house  , of course when I can I will Varranger videos with the comparison between SD2 and MOXF6.

By the way I also got this comparative video Ballad styles:

Hi Eric,

In this post from our friend Dan you can see several demos KetronSD1000 sounds, even some with Varranger in action.

Juan

Bernie is right, I did not remember the SD4 but I think it is in the process of discontinuance, because some major stores have not sold today, also the price is questionable compared to the price of SD1000.

regards:

Juan

Hi Eric,

I am also a user of Ketron SD2 and I am very happy with it as Bernnie, if you want something similar but with USB it is clear that your sound module is the Ketron SD1000:
http://www.ketron.it/index.php?option=com_content&id=457&Itemid=20&lang=eng



the SD1000 Ketron SD2 is similar but superior features. Faster modern chip, larger memory sampling, new sound, "USB", etc.. and most importantly ... is also  integrated into Varranger2, only a problem,.... it is more expensive than the SD2;)

Good luck in whatever you choose and everything I want your health recovery:

Juan

Hi One!
I think it would be great but possibly very complicated, as other fellow said ... "it is easier said than done".

Hello Friends!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-3MMlyDmFs

I want to be helpful.

Juan

Thank you for giving us the wonderful VArranger.

By the way, I forgot to let you  that the initial problems with GM2 midi output on Korg PA600 (errors of program changes on some tracks) have been solved in the latest version

regards:

Juan

WOW!!
THANK!!

Thank friend!

Mes désirs sont les mêmes M. Dan.

Bonne année 2014!

I demand to Santa Claus one Ketron SD2 sound module and Varranger2   

at this time is what I want most.

regards:

Juanjo

ok, thank Dan.

Hi Dan, thanks for your answer, your always there.

If I send the midi clock from Varranger to Cubase  the result would be similar, well, I remember than I read something you wrote about the songs creator that can export midis files, which can also be imported into Cubase .. .

regards,

Juanjo

Hello,

I searched in the manual and do not see anything about this. I currently use my Korg PA600 arranger with my DAW (Cubase), I just have fun in my home studio, I do not play in public.
For example: I control my PA600 from cubase (start, stop, tempo) and synchronize so perfectly with the song I'm creating.
In synchro options Cubase only see the physical midi connections,
Would it be possible Varranger see virtual device or something similar?
Does anyone have any experience Varranger - DAW?

IMPORTANT: Unfortunately I am not yet Varranger user 

regards:

Juanjo

Lionel, Thanks for your answer,

I appreciated the good cooperation that exists in this forum, and especially that of Mr. Dan.
I have already impatient for Varranger but first have to buy the SD2 because is a sound  module that I always loved and I see is the ideal companion for Varranger.

regards:
Juanjo

thank you very much Dan  for your warm welcome.

I'm also eager to hear that curious combination: KK (Ketron-Korg)

sure my questions will come, but for today I think is enough. 

I appreciate your work, regards:

Juanjo

Good evening everyone and especially mr. Dan :

This is my first post in this forum, I'm from the Canary Islands (Spain) and I am very happy to join this community.

My little story :

About 3 years ago I discovered the sounds of Ketron SD2 hearing samples downloaded from the internet and I immediately fell in love with it  , but I had a problem, although the quality of their sounds impressed me, this wonderful little box was only going to give a qualitative leap in the sounds of my DAW but I missed playing styles for my personal amusement . It was so in the end I opted for the Korg PA600 also has good quality of sounds and styles and functions at a decent price, and although I 'm still very happy with my PA600 ..... I am sure, Mr. Dan , if I get to discover Varranger first , in my humble studio today a SD2 + Varranger would enjoy for less money than the PA600 . 

I have to be completely honest, when I found Varranger the internet I found it expensive, but when I learned its authentic potential , ease of use, constantly evolving and the good reviews I found on independent sites I convinced myself that is priced right also add that I have a personal relationship with the leader of this project is something that is priceless .

Unfortunately I still have not SD2 or Varranger (and possibly my finances will not allow me to have them up within a few months, but I am quite sure they will come to my home studio, I also believe that Mr. Dan is working on integrating Korg PA styles possibly when purchasing Varranger able to enjoy the wonderful sounds of SD2 with styles Korg PA I must admit they are pretty good.

I think that is enough for today, sorry for my lengthy post in the near future I will ask some questions on this forum, I hope I do not bother much.

regards:

Juanjo.
