Thanks for the clarification. .. I should have thought that not everything is so simple. 

In the Ketron manual it is written that the file with the Ketron style markers simply has to be saved as a standard midi in format 0 and get .KST extension. After that it is supposed to be ready to use in the Ketron device.

It is possible that the new Ketron SD series contains built-in logic as to how the midi notes are to be interpreted. Then this logic has to be built up in Varranger, which is probably not that easy.

But this would be a bomb if implemented in Varranger .. 

There are may be problems with the drum and guitar parts, but the big advantage of this KST standard that the styles can be easily created and edited in a DAW.

You don't even need CASM specifications like in Yamaha styles. So you can easily replace drum and guitar parts.

Then we would no longer have a problem with the editability of the styles. ))

Is there a chance that we will get support for KST styles from Ketron in the next version?

Actually they are normal midi files with Ketron specific markers, it is probably not difficult to implement by DAN after integrating much more difficult formats into Varranger. ))

all APC Mini buttons send note on/of messages, the faders send cc values.
If you are using APC MINI with Ableton Live, you can switch scenes with mapping of faders/buttons to other destinations, for example switching faders for volumes of channels 1-8 to 9-16. There are many more ways to control extensive functions of Ableton Live with just a few buttons.

As far as I know, vArranger does not support a scene change, there is no alternative layouts, so each button can only be mapped to a single function of vArranger, i.e. no alternative assignment with shift button etc.

It would be great if all the controllers in vAr would have multiple alternate layouts and some assignable controllers to switch between those layouts.
