Hi,
Today is a new day.
I solved the problem.
Believe it or not it was faulty Power Supply.
Some how it was playing with the Windows SD1000 driver

After trying the SD1000 with my Older Dell 13 XPS where everything worked fine I changed the power supply om the New One  and it started working back to normal.

Dell XP13 has a USB C power supply and apparently  the faulty one wasn't giving enough power to the USB ports
You learn something every day

Anyway thanks Dan for your help and Werner for the input

Happy New Year and ongoing improvement of vArranger

Cheers

Good night for now.

It is 2:45 in Ozz.
I have to work tomorrow.

We will continue tomorrow.

Dan,
It works through midi.
It works in any other software through USB.
But when you assign it in a midi out port in vArranger it seems to lock and block the driver in a way that neither vArranger or any other software can use it after that and I have to restart the computer.

Dan here is the screen shot.

Werner,

I have been using it for five years with no problem whatsoever until today.
I always used it powered through the USB port.
Today I tried with Power supply even to no avail.

Tried that as well. No change.

Yes it is run from power adapter and in full performance mode.

Hi guys,

I have the newest version of vArranger running on Dell XPS 13 i7 16Gb RAM, 500 Gb SSD Windows 10 and use KetronSD 1000 as a sound module as well as all the Sound Fonts libraries including Genos SoundFont.
Everything was fine until today when the SD1000 driver stoped working with vArranger. The program would start but no sound is coming from the Ketron SD1000. If you go to the midi settings trying to check the midi in and outs everything open fine but then the vArranger would say loading and hang on it forever. Then I need to Alt Cnt Delete restart it which then takes up to 10 min to restart. Normal restart takes only 30 seconds on this machine. It did this many times before I reinstalled the Ketron64 bit drivers and reinstalled th 1.4 firmware. Mind you if you use the SD1000 driver with any other software it works fine (VanBasco, Ableton live, Showplay,Sonar). But as soon as you try to start vArrange it blocks the whole computer again.
I mangaged to use a Virtual midi driver as midi out and then put the SD 1000 as a midi out in a Virtual Midi Software and it works that way.
Also vArranger works fine with Virtualsynth as midi out.
But as soon as you try to use it with SD1000 it locks the whole computer.
I have no idea what would have caused such behaviour.
I haven,t change anything on the computer nor have I installed any new software.
It played New Year's Eve with no problem.
It started today the first time I switched on the computer.

Any ideas are welcome.

Hi,

The user sounds can contain more then one sound and they will show when you highlight the Right sound next to the Main in the lower right corner,
When you highlight Right 1, 2, 3,4 then you can chose only single sound from the library.

I hope this explains it.

Hi,

I have the same problem with Windows Defender.
It would not let me download the files

Any solutions other then disabling the virus program?

Hi Dan,

Can you please send me the new update.

Thanks

It is essential.

Hi

I am quoting Dan from September 18 2016

"Yes, when I correct this, I will send"

I understand there is an intention but it doesn't seem to be an action.

And I am being ignored every single time.

It is how you deal with people who already bought everything vArranger and sound banks.

Because every single time someone new, potential buyer ask a question it is answered  immediately .

I just want an answer in a form of Yes or No.

IS THIS GOING TO BE FIXED EVER?

And can I get the newest version of the software whatever that might be.
I think I am entitled to it.

Regards Baze.

Hi Barry,

I'm with you on this request.
Having played with Yamaha arrangers in the past this is really extremely convinient feature.

Please Dan.

Thanks

Blagoj

Hi,
I am still waiting for this fix.
Is it ever going to happen or should I just give up?

How about LED feedback for Korg Nanokontrol Studio

Hi Dan,

Do you have an idea how long it is going to take to solve this problem.
it really affects my performance and without it I will have to go back to before the Soundfonts.
WIth Xmas and New Years approaching I will need this fixed or I will not be able to perform.

Hoping for quick solution .

Hi,
I use Midi Patchbay Standalone (PC).
It is free and has 8X8 midi interface. You can connect up to 8 midi inputs to 8 midi  outs in any combination. More then enough for a normal setup.
You can save presets and load them as needed.

It works fine.

Loop Midi by Tobias Erichsen is also free and is fine piece  of virtual midi port software. You can name your ports for convenience.

Cheers

In order to be more precise I will explain my setup.

I use Boss Gp 10, Korg Nanocontrol 2, liquid instruments Guitar Wing and MorninstarFx MC 6 midi controller into a software merger called Midi patchbay by Soundigy which goes into Loop midi software which goes into port One of VA2.
Then at the same time I can play arrangements and controll VA2 from all the devices. So when I assign say controller 40 to control main volume  I can use that controller from any of the devices to control main volume.
I can also controll the chords from the Boss GP 10 and also play chords from the MC6 midi controller.

I hope this explains it

Cheers

Hi,
It is not possible the way you describe it. Va2 remembers the port you use and the controller assigned to th function. Once th controller is assigned to say port one it can not be assigned to port 2 or 3.
But there is a way that it can be achieved if you use a software midi merger . If in software you assign several ports to th midi merger and then in port 1 you assign the midi merger as midi in, everything that come from that port will be recognized . So you can use say Korg Nanocontrol and Guitar wings and TouchOsc to control the same function from three or more midi devices.

Cheers

Hi Dan,
Can You send me the corrected version when you fix the problem.

Thanks

I recently bought the Sounbanks an installed them but after that when I  activate the VRIFF function and trigger Fiil in during play the song gets stuck to the last chord when the fill in was triggered .
The VRIFF  stays activated and if you open the SONG CHORD the chords seem to be scrolling but the chord remains stuck until you deactivate th VRIFF  and start it again.

It has started doing this after the last update.

Anyone had the same problem.?

WOW

That was quicker then Steph Curry's three pointer shot.

Thanks

I would also like the latest version with the playlist feature. 

I really, really need it

Thanks Dan!

Hi,
Yes it can be done.
I have been doing this.
It is easy. You can use the USB. When SD 1000 is plugged in the USB it installs two drivers SD 1000 and SD 1000 Midi 2.
Then you just assign in VA2 one ( say SD 1000) as an output  and in Sonar the other (SD 1000 Midi 2).
They work at the same time.

Cheers

Can I have the newest beta version please

Thanks
