vArranger Forums

Hi

I have been able to load the Pa4x styles from the vA forum without any problems, I can see the various banks (Fav/User) and play the styles.

However when I load the styles from my Pa4x I can see the banks but when I click to load on a bank,  it will not open and get the message "unknown file format". I think it relates to the fact that I am using the copy/paste function within the Pa4x to move a style to another bank. Most of the styles I have created are from Midi files and using the "create style from midi" function within the Pa4x so this may also be the problem.

For other Pa4x owners, has anyone had this problem or can replicate it

Regards

Hi
I purchased the four sound banks and they work well particularly matching the style (Korg/Tyros etc) I now feel confident to remove the SD 2 and mostly get the right sound match. Great feature!

However the problem I am having is that because of the memory size (4gb) on my system I am not able to load all four banks together. Unfortunately because of the file structure (.VSMPL and not SF2) you cannot edit the bank number and therefore you have to load all or nothing. Dan has advised that he is working on a future feature that not all will load on start-up. Also a current workaround is to use a SF2 file with low size (say 2kb) with the same banks/preset number to free up memory. However I am finding this method very time consuming to implement.

Given that each sound bank (Korg/Tyros/SD2) has several VSMP files is there a breakdown of what sounds are contained in each file.  For instances SD2 soundbank has the three banks plus drums & grooves which hopefully matches the specifications. BK7 is similar, however the Tryos soundbank the largest of the banks ( 1.2gb) is very difficult to work out. 

Having this layout of what sounds are in each of the VSMP files may assist to be selective of which VSMP file I load as an interim measure.

I would be interested to know how others are working with these VSMP files and the memory size problems.

I have Halion Sonic loaded as a VST and whilst I have the the elicence USB plugged in to my laptop there are no problems loading vArranger. However if I travel and forget the  elicence USB, when I try to load varranger a message appears to prompt for inserting the USB. I select "cancel" on the message but then varranger just hangs and I cannot get the program to load.

What can I do if I don't have the  elicence USB and I want to use varranger?

I am using Cubase Elements and was thinking of purchasing Halion Sonic 2 for VST sounds. As  I am a novice with VST I therefore I have some questions:

1 Can you use Halion Sonic VST with vArranger
2 Do you have to have Cubase open or does Halion Sonic VST instruments run on its own within vArranger.
3 If it's possible to use Halion Sonic, would appreciate the steps involved. (I looked at the (English) forum and the is only and old thread back in 2012 on halionsonic set up before Dan did the changes to VST set up).

Assistance & advice would be appreciated.

Hi All

I have recently purchased vArranger intially using an old roland SC unit for a week but had the chance to sell it and get an SD-2. The difference is amazing.

I have mastered most things having come from the old Technic days. I am trying to get the left sound to change with the style selected, however I cannot find how to get the "By Style" button to appear. It did appear once when I had the Roland SC but since setting up the  SD-2 I cannot get it to reappear.

Your asistance would be appreciated
