I sent another link with styles..

Sorry, my mistake, I sent the link again..
I was expecting a reply to my private mail, now I know to check my mail on the Varranger forum. .

Every day I check to see if the answer has come and... silence

Great, I sent you the styles in a private message.

Hi, I have Varranger and I have SF2 Ketron SD2 sounds loaded. Styles from Ketron SD1, SD5 work very well, but Korg styles are unfortunately terrible What will be the best solution - will buying the SD1000 module improve playing with Korg styles, or will Korg Dan Bank be enough? I have Genosa Bank and it works great - will there be no sound conflict if I buy Korg bank?

I don't know what other users of the program think about it, but in my opinion it would be good to add the ability to save style and right hand settings in the next update - it would be a great convenience - something like Registration Memory...

Hello. I have the following problem - I am trying to save the settings of the right hand (UPPER) and after saving everything returns to the previous settings ( What am I doing wrong? Is the only way to save as "RIGHT SOUND..."? Then an additional USER file is created, which I would rather avoid...
I am posting a preview video:

I understood. But for me it's the individual sounds that matter. I understand that your settings mean that Varranger sends messages to Cantabile on individual VSTI-loaded tracks and e.g.: Avenger selects General MIDI sounds itself...? What I mean is that I want to set what sounds will be played on the instruments loaded into Cantabile. For example, bass guitar no. 5, not 2. And when I load the style in Varranger - it will send the ready settings to Cantabile. But this is probably not possible You have to create a preset in Cantabile for each musical style in Varranger.  Next load the style in Varranger (e.g. Reggae) and the created preset in Cantabile for reggae. So now I use Steinberg VST Live 2 instead of Cantabile, it seems it does it better. It has easy access to presets.

I have one more question. Does anyone know how to run songs faster using Varranger and Cantabile? Now, when I want to load a new style, I have to press the style button in Varranger and select the preset in the cantabile, which is quite inconvenient - my monitor is small. Is there any setlist program or can we combine our songs in Varranger with presets in Cantabile?

Thank you very much for the tip. I see that I still have to absorb a lot of knowledge... I have Genos, but Varranger has amazing potential...

As a beginner Varranger user, I experiment in order to get the best possible performance for live playing. I'm going to play instruments from the Dana bank and VST. Unfortunately, Varranger does not save settings VST. So I came up with an idea:
I set the output to LoopMIDI Port on the tracks: "SENT TO OUT MIDI 3". I turn on DAW - Cakewalk, set subsequent tracks with VST sounds and synchronize them with Varranger tracks. When the song sounds correct, it saves its status in Cakewalk and Varranger. The big disadvantage is the fact that when I want to play with the same settings later, I have to select a style in Varranger and in Cakewalk.  Is there a better, faster way to load settings with saved VST functions?

Doesn't anyone use KORG bank? I would like to know how I can make Korg styles sound good... Maybe just buy a Ketron SD1000?

Hello. I have a question about the Korg sound bank for the Varranger. I have a Genos bank and it works very well, but it is known that the styles do not sound identical to those in Genos. If I buy a KORG sound bank for Varranger, will the styles from the Korg pa4x be of much lower quality than those on the KORG pa4x instrument? Does Varranger read KST styles from Korg pa5x?

Hello everyone again - this time as a registered user of Varranger2    I hope that soon I will be able to share my impressions and maybe post some of my songs Greetings to all registered users and those who decide to become them

Hello, did I understand correctly that the long-awaited version 1.20 has appeared? I thought the project was dead... What changes does it bring, I'm considering buying a Varranger...

I will answer myself. I've been waiting too long and waiting. If the new version 1.20 is released within 2 weeks, I will make the purchase. After this time, I decided to buy the Korg PA700.

I kept my word. I just bought a 7 month old PA700. A great instrument. Even so, I still hope Varranger is not dead .. Regards

1. I realized that pendrive protection is only good for Dan .. What if after years I lose my key and as BjayG wrote it "If Dan gets run over by a bus"?
2. Will there be a new version? Dan wrote on the French forum on August 3: "just a few more days" - we have the end of September
3. Repertoire made on the Korg PA700  is very easy to transfer later to a higher model. I can add my own drum samples, bass, guitars etc. to the style.
- I save the settings and it all works. I have already started to complete my own keyboard for Varranger, but I think I'll make a synthesizer based on VST sounds.
4. There are many people disappointed in the forum with the development of the program - why the author does not give any hope - recording a new version of Youtube - not necessarily refined, it would change a lot, and this is Varranger 1.20 - program - spectre ...

I will answer myself. I've been waiting too long and waiting. If the new version 1.20 is released within 2 weeks, I will make the purchase. After this time, I decided to buy the Korg PA700.

Hello. I have been following this forum for a long time and I have a lot of questions and doubts in my head. I own an Audy ketron and plan to either buy a Korg pa2x pro or build an Instrument on a Varranger system. I already had Korg - a great instrument when it comes to modifying styles. You can substitute your own percussion samples to the styles I care about the most. Varranger tempts to cooperate with VST. However, I have a few questions.
1. Is it possible to substitute Ezdrummer percussion in the style and save the settings in the registry so that after restarting the program everything is ready and nothing needs to be set?
2. Can I make links in the program to, for example, the 10 best Contact sampler sounds?
3. What if the i-Lock flash drive is damaged or lost ...
4. I read on the forum that the program works well with the bank "TYRUS", will Dan's bank (genos) be better enough to pay 150E?
I would like to play using e.g. Tyrus, drum samper and VST sounds for right hand ..
And the most important thing - is the program still developing ... A lot of people have doubts and this is the main obstacle in buying

Je suivais ce sujet depuis longtemps et j'allais acheter le logiciel mais quelque chose ne me convenait pas ... Est-ce en cours de développement? Tout indique que ce n'est pas le cas. Jusqu'à la sortie de la version actuelle, je dois m'abstenir de l'acheter. . les salutations

As mentioned, I'm going to build my own keyboard based on the Varranger system. I once had a Roland VA7 and when the  broke, service it refused to repair - "too old equipment". Therefore, the instrument that I will build, in case of failure, I will repair it myself at a low cost. It will be like a puzzle. - keyboard, screen, interface, processor, memory etc ..

I like to find bargains and I found a used HP Compaq L5009tm at this price - in store condition

Thanks for the answer, I am going to construct something similar to the video in the given link, but the case is not wooden, but metal ..

Thanks a lot Dan I expected such a recording, I can fine-tune the details myself to make it sound better. Interesting fact - after converting these styles to Audya ketron it was impossible to listen to them ... As soon as I complete the hardware, I will contact you to buy the software. I'm going to do this at a low cost
M-audio Keystation 61 -  50$
HP touchscreen -  25$
Now the case and drivers ..
Will behringer bcf2000 work as an interface and controller for Varranger control ??

Unfortunately, I didn't get a reply ... But it was you who offered to record the MP3, Dan. I bought the arrangement on purpose to listen to the demo ...

I sent a private message, now it should arrive. i sent 2 styles yamaha and korg pa2x. If you can, record a demo and write back. greetings

Hello Dan. I sent you a message .. I am waiting impatiently for your reply

Hello as a future Varranger user
So far I have a lot to do because I am in the process of building an instrument with the Varranger system - keyboard, touchscreen and controller in the housing ... But I would like to ask if commercial styles will work properly for Yamaha instruments. I mean sites like camaro24.pl, d-o-o.de, especially since there are sounds from dedicated extensions ...?
