Indeed, it is not allowed to make samples of any hardware or software instrument
and put it to one new !!!
Couse of that in TA Sound Engine will be not sampled pure SD1000 sound, TA Sounds
are only based on SD1000 (what I wrote in first my post) but they are qualitative much,
much better sounds, and they are sorted on SD1000 Bank and Sound Program Table,
to be compatible with all vAranger2 choice of sounds, and controls in its SD1000 Mode.
It will be full legal product like all other from me. Very high quality of this sounds can
be heared on youtube demos, and also that this sounds are another matter from SD1000
sounds. They are only on right Midi place with right implemented Controllers !!! Thats all.

This fx1; 2; 3 are for VST FX or for regulation of Effects on xg and GM midi Sound modules.
For the SD1000 insert Effects go to Options and Effects.

Emulator X3 run on Win 7, 8, 8.1, about Emulator X I don't check.
Yes, Yamahas Styles are only OK with Mega Voices and I have all
in TA Sound Engine. I had make it also in Emulator X3 format. It
is very hard work to make Sound Engine comaptible with all Style
formats, but it is doable. I need only time to make it all.

Hmmmm... it is not the first class, also not the second... I was in last time in
developer stuff and I remember it was automated sampled (Sample Doctor or
so one program). This, what they sampled, was not professional work. They
sampled whole Sound Programs, not the Elements (Multisamples) to make later
originaly sound programs. It was sampled with Vibrato (LFO) and sometimes
also with effects (f.e. Chorus or Flanger). It can play Styles in vArranger2, that
is no problem, vArranger2 can route and play all, but sound quality is bad.
Looping was not so good, sound program editing is poor... etc... etc.
#305
Yes !!! If you mean SF2 sounds from vArranger2 Synth.

Thanx !!! I have maked one Sound Engine in Emulator X3 format befor
a few years for Live Styler and it is finalized. Every one Sound Program
with 2 insert effects, one of them is always 4-Band Full-Parametric EQ
and other is different for each Sound Program (Flanger, Distortion... etc)
with all GM and XG Midi Controllers implemented, multilayer vlocity switch
sampled, edited with LowPass Filter and Amp and Filter Envelopes, two LFO
etc... etc... All what will be needed for XG stadard sound editing. All this
controllers are also in vArranger2 Sound Editor. Drums Sets are all with
Ambient, stereo sampled and in XG Standard PCG Table. Indeed  Latin,
Cuban and Arabic Drum and Persussion Sets. This EMU Bank was tuned
to play Yamaha Styles, and it sounding very professional. There are about
2 GB of first class sampling material (over 7.000 samples, perfectly looped
and edited).

But developing of Live Styler was stopped, and in the last beta developer
version was not "to stable". Stellberg was not so inflammatory program
developer like Dan is, and all of this amazing sounds, and whole my work,
was in vain... for nothing. Now, is fantastic vArranger2 here, and I have
again ambitious aim to make one very good software based Sound Engine.
Now, I have to convert many sounds from Emulator to SF2 format, and to
polish them (from this sound bank), and to merge with new sounds what I
maked on basis of Ketron SD1000, to become one perfect Sound Engine in SF2
for vArranger2. It will be possibly about 4 GB Sampling Content. vArranger2
is, by light years, the best accompaniment software and cause of that I need
little more time to make and fit good enough Sound Engine for it. I hope and
know, it must be very, very good !!! 
#307
It is sometimes very complicated to find right configuration
of jBridge parameters for each one PlugIn, specialy on very
old PlugIns, but with this right configuration is always all OK.
I remeber that Hypersonic 2 was very, very heavy to place
in one 64Bit VST Host, but at the end, it was very brave 32Bit
PlugIn on 64Bit VST Host.

Yes it is. TA Sound Engine is still in work. There are some new sounds
wich I have to implement, and in addition "fine-tuning" of this sounds.
I need a little bit time to finalize TA Sound Engine, and only than, it can
be distributed. All details about it, later hier on the site.

@Bernie9

It is not so simply. First you have to see what of Midi Control Numbers
are defined to physical Controllers on Novation. Than go to Controllers
in vArranger2 and make your Controller Map. It will be little bit more
work for you.

In my case with RME HDSP 9632, 9652, AIO and Fireface 802 no chance,
Jack don't "see" no one from this interfaces. But with RME newest Audio Driver
v.4,** Jack is needless because of RMEs Loopback function that make same
thing like a Jack, but 100% stable and on very, very low latency !!!
If I remember rightly, I have tested Jack with some audio interfaces from Presonus
and it was terrible, whole system was labile.

You can't find that on Google, because it is intern for vArranger2
and it will be part of vArranger2 version 1.18. I make this TA Sound
Engine
on the basis of Ketron SD1000 plus Mega Samples sounds
from Yamahas Tyros instruments and some other HQ sounds. "one"
has heard sound of TA Sound Engine on vArranger2 YouTube Portal.
Dan has uploaded some of Styles played with TA Sound Engine.

Small, very small !!! By the way, 64Bit version is 100% stable. I have checked
all functions also with very big SF2 Banks (over 40GB), and different Effect and
Instruments 64Bit VST PlugIns. No bugs, no problems. Amazing !!!

It will be very very hard job !!! I don't know if result will be
so excellent like original. It is very hard to make all of the
sound nuances of Independence programs in SF2 format !!!
The hardest thing is, that is 70GB of sample content, it will
be very long work.
The last Update is 3.1 but it was only Program update, not
any new sounds. Have you downloaded the new update for
Best Service Engine. It is important to have this new Engine.
I can send it to you, it is free. This is the same Player like
Independence, with same controls and quick controllers.

Ahaaa... it is possible. I sold my Sonic 1 after only a few months
because it had not this Program Change. Later I bought Sonic 2
cause it has PCG pro Midi Channel, but it was not good investment.
Latency by Program Change by "heavy" sounds is to large, also on
SSD disks, and also on RAID 0 SSD-s congfiguration. A real pity,
many sounds are good.

I have unerstud it also in French  :D :D :D It has because it has GM Modus.
I had Sonic but it had not GM Modus. That was main problem to use it live
like one multitimbral Sound Engine. Cause of that all musicians who played
software instruments on live gigs stayed on Hypesonic 2. What version of
Sonic 1 have you, or what of version is on the clip ? I don't remember that
GM Mode function was implemented in Sonic 1 in any update, it is strange
for me !!! Maybe it was one of the last Sonic 1 versions, maybe !!!
#323
The vArranger² Software Forum / Re: Halion Sonic
March 08, 2015, 12:46:01 AM
I am sorry also, but Sonic 1 can not change Sound Programs on
separate Midi Channel Program Change events, only whole Multi.
It can be stored 128 Multies with up to 16 different Sounds on 16
Midi Channels. Multies on Sonic are something like on NI Kontakt.

Sonic 2 has specialy GM Mode and in this mode, can change sounds
on separate Midi Channels PCG Commands. Sounds wich have to be
in Midi Sound Program list (128 Programs) can be user deffined, but
to large Sound Programs (samples) can produce latency by Program
Change, and that can be worse for continuous live playing vArranger2.
It is not like on Hypersonic 2 wich can make that without any latency.

Sonic 2 has PCG in GM Modus !!!

3, you load Halion in the vsti slot... you load the patch manually or you use the gm program change.
Halion Sonic don't understand Bank and Program Change pro Midi Channel.
You can chain up to 128 Multis (all 16 Midi Channel Parts) to be loaded in
one sequence or Style Part of vArranger2, from MIDI Program Change
messages, but not separately for each Midi Channel, what you need with
vArranger2. Because of that, Halion Sonic is not good Sound Engine for
vArranger2 !!!

It isn't so bad to have power supply for SD1000. Specially when
computer is Tablet or small Netbook. SD1000 need some power.
Its power supply is 9V; 1A, according to that, consuption of
SD1000 is about 9W. We would say approximately it is about
7W, but this 7W is very much for one Surface 2 or 3, or some
similar netbook and its power supply !!!

The best buy for Touch Screen monitor to time is Hanns.G HT271. It is 27" 10 points
Touch Screen
for only €276,99. It is with very good sensibility and appropriate for
use with vArranger2. Also it is flexible with VGA, DVI and HDMI interfaces. I use it
over one year wiothout any problem. Excellent for live gigs, very big and nearly you
can play without other Midi Controllers. My explicit recommendation for this monitor !!!

It is imense difference between HD and SSD. When SSD SATA3 is,
you can have very, very fast streaming. About 550 MB/sec. Normal
HD has about 100 MB/sec. But more difference is on Access Time
parameter. By HD is about 10ms, and by SSD 0,05ms, it is 200 time
faster. When you two SSD disks in RAID 0 modus have, than is this
much faster. Streaming is over 1.000MB/sec. It is very important by
sample based VST instruments like NI Kontakt, Emulator X3... etc.
All is faster, and also less CPU loading. SSD disks are most important
for good and stable audio systems !!!

I doing my level best to understand Agaton but you appear to be saying that with sampling and editing software integral to vArranger will sound superior to my SD1000 which I purchased because I could not find any software adequate.
Yes, it is maybe strange, but it sound superior to SD1000 which very good instrument is. I have SD1000 and I can very well compare it. The difference is immense for  the benefit for TA Sound Engine of vArranger Synth. Why ? Because the SD1000 sounds are sampled thru highest quality equipment with much analoge tube touch and edited Sound Programs to become more voluminous, wide and soft sounds. All of sounds are stereo sampled thru very, very "expensive" small Ambient Effects from Lexicon 480L (not software) to become adequate body resonator of some real instruments, and amazing small spaces on some other. On SD1000 most of sounds are mono sampled. I have changed some of inferior sound programs with first class sounds, construct new Drum Kits also with multilayered stereo samples (some Snares with 7 or 8 Layers), and made some new Drums and Persussions audio loops. Now to vArranger Synth. Dan has made amazing thing with three Send and one Master VST Effects, to be used with  vArranger Synth. I use some excellent VST Effect PlugIns on TA Sound Engine, and SD1000 has only indifferent quality Effects. Only this difference is more than immense. Dan wrote to me yesterday, that he will probably make one VST Effect Insert for every track except Drums tracks !!! That will be paradise for Sound Engine of vArranger Synth, so many first class VST Effects in one instrument !!! It is too much more as two modestly insert effects on SD1000. There were only a few factors which make software Sound Engine for vArranger Synth superrior to SD1000 and superrior to most other hardware workstations and arrangers. All of this hardware instruments are also sample based just like a TA Sound Engine for vArranger Synth, but we have to time, 4 GB Sample "ROM" space, and most of actual top hardware instruments (except Korg Kronos) have 0,5 to 0,75 GB Sample ROM sounds  !!!
#332
vA2 Synth can sound better than all of hardware workstations and
arrangers toghether. It is only the queston how serios sounds will
be sampled und edited. The SF2 platform has roots in Emulator
hardware samplers, and they were non-plus-ultra. Structure of
SF2 Synth Engine and modulation matrix of it, is imperious. This
must be only used on highest level, and all is achievable !!! The best
premise is given from vArranger2 Synth, all other is very light. You
will see, and you will be astonished !!!
#333
It is RDL FP-UBC2. This model is not only DI-Box, it is also 2-Channel
Line In PreAmp with gold plated RCA contacts, and gold plated XLR Pins,
adjustable gain from -5dB to +10dB per channel, ranging on outputs from
−20 dBV to −5 dBV and very low distortion conversion for the best quality.
It convert noiseless, unbalanced to balanced outs and has own, typically
British warm sound. It is one legendary Flat-Pak Radio Design Labs Unit and
it is very good for all Keyboards and Modules without balanced outputs, and
poorly signal level, not only to balanced it !!! The price is very high (ca.150€),
but its quality also.




#334
You are in right, in SD1000 is no one realy bad sound, it is to time
one of the best sounding modules on the market, specially for playing
midi files or styles. I have changed some of Accordions sounds, some
of Guitar and Bass sounds (you wrote about it in your previous post),
and most important, I changed many Drum Kits, Drum pieces and
Percussions. I made a few new Drum Kits compatibel to Yamahas Drum
Kits (Arabic, Latin, Cuban Kits) with typical Yamahas Percussions and
Drum pieces above C6 and below C1. The same thing I made with Drum
Kits in Korg and Roland standard. New are audio drum and percusion
loops which I put on free places in Live Drums Bank, and also new are
some Saxophones, Flutes and Orient sounds. All not one-shot sounds
are perfect looped. I made sampling thru Avalon and TLA Tube PreAmps
with RME Fireface 802 audio interface (phenomenal Dynamic and S/N Ratio). 
I have used the best Sommer cables and legendary RDL DI-Box to balance
outs of SD1000. In a sampling technology every noise, or rumble etc... also
on lowest level is disastrous for result. Specially SD1000 sounds benefit from
all that, cause of low level of SD1000 Outputs. On the end, samples were
mastered thru Thermionic Culture Vulture Tube Summing machine.  It was
preaty donkeywork to made all of that, on the highest quality level. Now it is
one Sound Engine which sounding, cause of all this Tube equipment, more
briliant, with portion of air touch (low and high harmonics), and very, very 
diferentiated with more pressure in a mix of styles.
#335
Yes, that's right. SD1000 have some sounds there are velocity
switched, but only two layers. Eight layers is to much, and it is
all in vain, it is in fact, banefull for memory. SF2 Synth Engine
is prety good with less artefacts, and good filters to modulate
sounds with velocity. The same result will be with only two layers.

SD1000 has four kind of sounds. First group are sounds with mono
samples, the second are sounds with stereo sampled instruments,
group three are multilayered sounds, and last group are multilayered
stereo sampled sounds.
#336
I wrote that I shell add Mega Voices sounds to TA Sound Engine,
but we have to wait for Dan to deblock midi routings and filters
what he made relating to Mega Voices to prevent cacophony when
Yamahas styles will be played with non Yamaha sound module.

Most of demos what you can hear are Yamaha Styles, that mean
this TA Sound Engine, can play excellent Yamahas styles, in a
quality which is on very, very high level !!! Yamahas sounds are
no problem, because TA Sound Engine is not only "SD1000 sounds",
there are much more sounds as in a SD1000, and bad sounds from
SD1000 I had exchange with much better sounds.
#337
You can use e-mail from my profile on vArranger forum.

#338
Lee, you can send this styles also to me, to check it with
TA Sound Engine. I can play all of Yamaha styles with it.
Maybe your styles are simply bad. I maked also one Sound
Engine in XG standard with Mega Voices, to play Yamaha
Styles which have Mega Voices on style tracks. To time
TA Sound Engine haven't Mega Voices sounds, but I shall
have to add it from my XG Sound Engine, promptly.
#339
First sound is much voluminous, smooth and wide, maybe because
it is stereo sampled or you have added one short hall and/or chorus.
The second sound is to tight, and poor, with more attack and without
effects, or it is just mono sampled. I'd say like Dan.

First sound is from hardware. 
#340
It is a brand new TA Sound Engine and all about that will be known in a few days.
We (Dan and me) have to decide, in which way will be TA Sound Engine distributed
in relation to vArranger2, for new and for old users of vArranger2 software.

TA Sound Engine will be done exclusively for vArranger2, and as a part of vArranger2
Software Synthesizer. All specifications of TA Sound Engine will be advertise also in
a few days. Please to have a little patience. In a meanwhile, I shall make some more style
demos, and we shall upload that on vArranger2 Facebook site.

If you not the owner of vArranger2 software, you can't download
any file from this site !!! When you buy vArranger2 software, you
will be immediately autorized to download all of files on this site.
There are thousends of factory and users styles and sounds to use
with vArranger2.
#342
Styles are very good, that is OK, I would say, normal factory styles, nothing specially.
But cruical reason why you like that, is a Sound Engine which play this Styles. It is a
new Sound Engine what I sampled for vArranger2 Synth, with 24Bit stereo samples,
velocity switched, multilayered and very detailed edited, played on one of Trans Audio
Instruments
which I made for Live Gigs, naturaly thru amazing vArranger2 software !!!

I have made more demos of this Sound Engine (as promo for my Trans Audio Instruments),
with another styles and all of them sounding like this what you found and heard. Naturaly,
I have remixed little bit all of styles, but not radical, just level, panorama and send level of
VST Effects on a style tracks.

Styles are only factory styles from Yamaha Tyros 5 and Ketron SD1 and SD5. You can find it
hier on vArranger Forum and download it, but I say to you one more time, it is not only the
style what so good sounding, it is first of all, Sound Engine of vArranger2, which played this
styles, and also mix of this styles, with VST Effects on style tracks (one amazing function of
vArranger2).

Why to set Keyswitches on Right 1 ? Define Keyswitches
notes in a sound programs in highest octave. In this
octave are no sound notes, than define on nanocontrol2
this notes as Keyswitch notes, and you have than always
Keyswitch notes with sound program what you play, on R1,
2, 3, 4 and second voice also.
Other way is to remap Keyswitch notes to highest octave,
with any Midi processor aplication, and so you don't need to
edit Keyswitch notes in every sound in Kontakt.
Best choice for Keyswitching is nanokey2, but not nanokontrol2 !!!

vA2 accept aftertouch, but it is no metter vor vA2, it is important for
your sound engine and how aftertouch control sounds on it. Probably
you have masterkeys with channel or monophon aftertouch. This type
of aftertouch control all notes when you press only one. By polyphone
aftertouch
every note has own aftertouch, and pressing on one note
control only this note with aftertouch. There are two types of aftertouch.
Which Masterkey have you ? Is Right 2 channel "on" or "off" on vA2 mixer ?
#346
With or without live-long support, vArranger2 is the best buy on the music equipment market,
in a field of music accompaniment software !!!

Very, very long time I was in the stuff of Live Styler arranger. Whole time I had try to made
pressure on the rest of the stuff, to make more open platform in Live Styler, but they were not
musicians, they were only "hard" programmers, without  sense for musician requirement !!!
Total opportune by vArranger2 !!! Here is the musician requirement on the frst place and program
is made from musician for musicians, not for computer programmers. It is so simple, and has so
logical structure, that one musician with little experience in this field, desperately don't need manual
for that.

349 Euro is really the minimum price for so one terrific and powerfull program, which can easily
shake off all actual software and last, but not least, also the top hardware arranger instruments. 
The double price of vArranger2 will be also acceptable for so one huge program. When one Live
Styler had price of 250 or more Euros, with all of its bugs (I have created one version without bugs
for me and my audio systems in this time, but official version was very labile and bugfull) than, the
vArranger2 can be, by all means, three time so expensive like last price of Live Styler.  Only what
one musician need with vArranger2, is very good Sound Engine (software or hardware), and he has
instantly the best actual arranger with tons of functions and possibilities. I made one Sound Engine
with about 100GB Sample Content in NI Kontakt format, for play with vArranger2. The sound is
naturaly amazing, but without functionality and flexibility of vArranger2, all that will be nothing. I make
to time 1 : 1 Multilayer Stereo Sample Content of Ketron SD1000 in SF2 format, with implemented all of
originaly Midi Controls from SD1000, and that will be play as vArranger2 Synth. In a test phase it sounds
very, very good, and with VST Effects better than hardware SD1000. It will be base Sound Engine to hear
immideately all Styles on vArranger2 and after that, eventualy change a few sounds with VST or hardware
instrument sounds. To time, only what I wish to be better in vArranger2 is the limit of 4GB SF2 in vArranger2
Synthesizer. I hope that is not the phisicaly limit, and that Dan can make this bigger !!! In this case it will be
possible to make one very good vArranger2 Synth Sound Engine f.e. with 8, 12 or more GB 24Bit samples.
SF2 platform is very complex to editing sounds (that is near to Emulator X3) and it will be possible to make
high quality studio standard sounds in vArranger2 Synth.

Who wont to play vArranger2 with hardware sound modul, one of very good choice is Ketron SD1000,
and for the musicians with luxurious needs, maby Roland Integra 7. Who wont to play with software sounds,
there are no limits for him !!!

So, vArranger2 need only one powerfull Sound Engine, and just a little bit Midi Controls tunning to have
one first class, ultra-stable and most flexible professional live arranger for so one beneficial price !!!
#347
You can do that but quality of Mic Input of PC Sound Card is miserable.
Before you make that, you need to instal ASIO4All Driver. One external
audio card with Mic Input will be better choice. To time, you can find many,
many, cheap audio cards, just for 30 to 50 Euro you can have so one audio
card and much better quality as with integrated PC Sound Card Mic Input !!!
In a word, you need one external audio interface with Mic Input, and everything
will fall into place. It must not be the best quality audio interface, but one wich
has all what you need.

This "PC" what I use is one Trans Audio Instrument,
what I make for professional musician. This is one
configuration based on i7 - 8 x 5GHz (hyperthreading
modus), and 32GB memory, on 2 x 2 SSD SATA3
disks in RAID 0. This is one excellent audio system
which is implemented in one 27" Touch Screen with
many physical midi controllers. I make also models
with Keyboards, also with Touch Screens and many
physical  midi controllers. Main Sound Engine is 100GB
NI Kontakt Library. Trans Audio are very powerfull
machines cofigured like music workstations with best
quality audio interfaces from RME and all of that is on,
for professional audio specially tweaked Win 8.1 64Bit.

Thanking amazing vArranger2 software, I can make
Live Workstations instruments, which are much better
in sound quality, more flexible and customisable as
actualy best hardware arrangers. With two hundert time
bigger sample content, professional effects and in a
same time, powerfull digital mixers. So one Trans Audio
instrument is arrangeur, workstation, midi and audio
recorder and player, and best quality digital mixer with
2, 6, 10, 12, 18... physical inputs and outputs. vArranger2
is in Trans Audio instruments most important software,
the major point of this whole very complex music system.
#350
No, it is not true. The hesitation is worstest thing
what can happen in one arrangeur. Definitely it is
only in your System. I am very long power user
of vArranger2 and hesitation was never a problem !!!

I have recorded this 60' Vintage Rock Style for you.
At the begining, you can hear Variation C very long,
maybe 16 bars... absolutely no hesitation, and also
on all other variations !!!

Sound Engine, what you hear, is very detailed, as multi
layer with velocity switch sampled, Ketron SD1000, than
converted to SF2, and on the end, complex edited to be
compatibile with midi commands in vArranger2. This is,
for my Live Audio System, basic Sound Engine, which can
play any Style without wrong sounds or another mistakes,
just to hear or control new Styles. Later I change Style
track instruments to sounds from very big NI Kontakt
Library, or some other VST Instruments.

Thanks Agaton, but my problem is that any time I switch off vArranger I loose all the settings of the VST effect, so that any time I switch on I have to fix all the parameters again. I would like to find a way to save the settings with the sound (or style, or song, anyway).
To time you can save all parameters of VST in "VST Options" like "Save Current  PlugIn State as...".
You can make so many Presets what you will in "VST Options" and Load everyone of them but You must
do that only in "VST Options". I didn't try till now, to save song with all parameters, maybe this help.
I don't know. But it is very important function when someone play only with VST instruments !!!
#359
It is true and I am totaly agree with you, but it is also true that SD1000 has
amazing sound which can be compared with the best hardware arrangeurs on
the market to time. Not only compared, it is mostly better. So good sound and
so bad support, this is absolutly one very, very big  "no go".

No Demo for vArranger2, I wrote this to you on trans-audio
forum.  You can trust me, what I wrote on trans-audio forum,
that vArranger2 is far and the way, and by light years, the
best arrangeur software what you can to receive for money. 
#361
No, it is not possible !!!
#362
Maybe also anyone SysEx string from Yamahas style on 2nd Rhythum track make
all this problems with Polyphony ???? But another Bug, with 2 or more Portamento
sounds in the same time, on the right side !!! That is very bad !!! In Version 1.0 is
all OK with Portamento with more sounds on the right side.

#363
You have SD1000 Version 1.0. I am shure !!! Stay at this Version
so long till Ketron fix the Bugs on 1.1 Update. No trying to update
to test it, because later you can't go back on 1.0 again, and Bugs
are  "horrible": poliphony, very strange things on Percussion Style
track, no Portamento with more than one sound on right side, out
of tune... I said  "horrible". I wrote a couple of times, about this Bugs
on SD1000 to Ketron, but they are not interested to find the Bugs
and fix them. On the other side, SD1000 is one amazing Midi Modul,
with excelent sound. It is right thing for  someone who not need
physicaly controls, or for someone who can make Controllers virtual
or physical it's no different. At the end, it is amazing for vArranger2 !!!
#364
@saifsameer

To time, you have to choice one VST Host aplication for all
of that, what you wish to make with VST PlugIns. One of
them is Chainer, but it will be much better to use VST Host
program. It is free, and it is in two versions: 32 and 64Bit,
and very powerfull !!! You need also one Virtual Midi Port.

The serial number of my SD 1000 is :- B9AA10531P.
My updated SD1000 is much older, but the SD1000 without update has a simmilar
serial B9AA10327P. Maybe it can be OK !!! Do you can make one test for me with
your SD1000 and vArranger2 ? Import on Right 1, 2 and 3 anyone sound, go in a
Sound Edit of each of them and make Mono=ON and Portamento=ON and for Time
put value 8. Try to Play. Is any strange sound or something what not OK is, to hear ?
#368
It is no way to make SD1000 with Update 1.1 to behave strange way.
I don't know what is the problem by SD1000. Maybe is the Bug by
some series of SD1000. My SD1000 what I update, has a problem
with poliphony on Styles with more instruments, and also the Bug
with Portamento sounds on right side when more than one sound is
Mono and Portamento defined. It is not only in vArranger2, it is in
all DAWs what I tested. The same things, play SD1000 without 1.1
Update without any problems !!! 

I work also with good hardware:
RME Fireface 802
Presonus 1818VSL

... and software
vArranger2 last update (Beta 13)
Studio One 2 Professional last update
Sonar X3
Cubase 7.5

...but problems with updated SD1000 are present.

What is the Serial Number of your SD1000 ? Maybe can we seen
what of SD1000 series are affected !!!

I have tested this Sys Ex on this three DAWs and it was always without problems (on SD1000

some ticks between Sys Ex String and Program Change.

You must write Sys Ex String: F0 26 7B 0F 00 0p vv F7 for any
Midi track which must be Drum track. P is Midi Part (0 - 15) and
VV=00 for Melodic and VV=01 for Drums. Very simple !!!
This procedure must be done in any DAW, not only in Cubase.

It can be very usefull !!! It is a PC Switch Pedal and come

I am playing Roland FR3X with vArranger2. No problems hier. Define Midi in
as Accordion in Midi Ports Select in vArranger2 and it must be all OK. I think guilty
is either your OS (Windows) or this MidjPro. Can You become SD1000 one
time more ? But this time make no Update. I can record some demo for you
that you hear how amazing are Styles from vArranger Played from SD1000
naturaly without Update !!! You are giving much more money for nothing !!!
The Sound Chip of SD1000 is the almost same like in MidijPro, and you not need
functions of MidijPro, you have in vArranger2 the same functions and some more
better as in MidijPro. The vArranger2 is very, very complex software, and very, very
powerfull and stable !!! I am shure you haven't any one problem from vArranger2,
and its Setup, and I am also shure that SD1000 Update 1.1 is root of the problem !!!
When vArranger2 worked fine with Kontakt 5, it is more than shure that SD1000
make all problems. I am working on one very big Sample Content of Kontakt 5
(about 100GB) and this is my main Sound Engine with 512 Sound Programs on
4 Midi Ports of Kontakt 5. Each of this Midi Ports has 16 Program Banks with 128
Sound Programs. So I can send MSB, LSB and PCG to select any one Sound Program
and other Midi Controllers to controling Level, Panorama, Effects... etc...
SD1000 is only test modul for checking Styles.



I can help you with your Midi Accordíon and vArranger2 but I need some
information of your Midi accordion. Which model, which Midi Channels are
used... etc...

Hier is one short demo of SD1000 (without update 1.1) with Country Fox Style.
I have only mixed the original Style, made Compressor, EQ and Ambient Effects
on my software mixer (all Live).
Country Fox from SD1000
#373
I wrote about this big problem with Update 1.1. in one another thread. I have two of SD1000,
and one of them was in Ver. 1.0, another on 1.1. On the SD1000 without Update, is all OK,
but realy all OK, on any DAW, also on vArranger2. No problems with polyphony, no problems
with out of tune etc....
On SD1000 with Update 1.1 is all of that very, very problematic. I try this SD1000
on all of DAWs what I have, and also on vArranger2. Always the same problems. This is
definitely no problem or BUG of vArranger2, but very big Bug from Update 1.1 of SD1000
.

vArranger2 is the best music software what I used in my very long career as musician, sound
designer, Style and Sound maker by Yamaha Europe and last but not least, as toningenieur. It is
100% stable and intuitive and as automatic accompaniment much more better and with more very
usable functions as any other hardware arrangeur. vArranger2 can not be reason for all this problems
of SD1000. Never !!!

The problem is only Ketron SD1000, and worsest thing is, that you can't make Restore on Ver. 1.0. It is
no joke, I am very serios,  after all of this tests, my advice is: definitely no go on 1.1 Update, Ketron made
big mistake with this Update 1.1. Only what on Ver. 1.1 is better, is transition between chords, because of
implementation of Midi #CC84 to soft "slide" between chords  !!!

Ketron is unserios with their support. I try to contact them but no result !!! The Update 1.1 for
SD1000 is only one example. One another, is their Instrument Definition file for SD1000. It was totaly
wrong !!! I had prepared that, and now it works. Our member mrgentleman has downloaded
my prepared Instrument Definition file (which Dan suggested him) and since that time, he has no
problems with change of Sound Programs from SD1000. But, at the end, it must be declared,
Ketron SD1000 has amazing sound, on an average more better than top workstations from other
producer. We hope that Ketron will very soon, make one Update for SD1000 that fix all this Bugs.

#374
vArranger2 button "Panic" sends Reset Midi Commands.
#375
Do You make Update to 1.1 on SD1000 ?
#376
If You wish better sound, very closed to actual top hardware arrangeurs,
than buy SD1000. With sound quality, it is on the same level of the best
workstations. It has many, many, Multilayer Stereo Sound Programs
(Super Articulation Sounds in Yamahas terminology), and very good effects.
Also there are about 250 audio Drum loops in a best quality !!! It will be
implemented in vArranger2 like SD2, and Dan make it very good. To time
are Commands for Insert Effects of SD1000 implemented. I have tested
with MIDJPro and SD1000 is pretty better, and has more audio drums
and percussion Loops. SD2 is OK, but its Sound Quality is pretty under
quality of SD1000. This 100 Euro differnce is worth the every cent. To time
is no unstability or another bugs with vArranger and SD1000. Don't worry
be happy with SD1000 !!! Dan has made Update which fixed all of bugs
from FirmWare 1.1 of SD1000 !!!
#377
Thanx Dan. I said, you are musician, not only programmer,
and you think as one musician. It is the best consistence !!!

played on second Key !!!
#379
Hi Dan,

but please, not disturb with this Hold function, the option to play
Left sounds with second Keyboard !!! It is also very, important for
musicians who will play vArranger2 on two Keys (Left sounds on
second Key)!!!

Agaton, you have noticed this exclusive feature of vArranger :)
Yes, I have noticed this exclusive feature, and I was so happy that
you think like one musician, not only like one computer programmer !!!
It is the best solution, to play vArrangeur2 on two keys, and I wont
anymore missing this solution. Amazing what of flexibility !!! I can
make now my systems with two keys. I shall upload some fotos with
my Trans Audio 2 Keys Instruments which are with vArrangeur2 like
a mean programm, and it play all of tracks with sounds from the best
VST instruments on the market, with Sample Content little bit more
than 100 GB of samples. All of that, without any break on Program and
Bank Change or any another Midi command. It play Styles, Midi and
audio files like hardware arrangeur. Conclusion is that vArranger2 is
the best, or better, only one, software arrangeur that make his thing
fabulous.
#381
It is one amazing function of vArranger !!! When you define
two keyboards as midi ins and both to send midi notes, than
you play with left hand normaly chords, and right hand play
Presets of right sounds (Right 1 to 4 and 2nd Voice) on right
side of this first Key. On the second Key you will play Left sounds
(Left 1 to 3).
It is one of the very best function on vArranger2, because you
can play different Presets on two Keys, and you can separately
save and load Presets (of 5 sounds) for right side of first Key, and
also Presets (of 3 sounds) for second Key, absolutely independent.

The same for me. I run the version 1.1 of the SD1000 without any problem since some months.
For me, this module sounds greater than the SD2. The Implementation of SD1000 effects in VArranger has began in the beta 8 version and is on the todo list of Dan.
Do you checked to play two or more sounds on right side with active "Monophonic" and "Portamento" on each of them ?
When it OK is (without "Glisando problems") than are the Bugs  fixed and I shall go to 1.1 OS version of SD1000.

On SD1000 with 1.1 Update I had many problems with Poliphony and
Portamento Legato on right Solo side, when two or more sounds in Legato
Mode were. On SD1000 with 1.0 Version I hadn't any problems, only Chord
Recognition is not so good like on 1.1 Version. Maybe it was with Version
of vArranger on this time, I don't know if Dan in Versions after that fix this
Bugs, but I stay on 1.0 Version of SD1000, because it is no way to go from
1.1 to 1.0 Version again.

August 28, 2014, 08:57:47 PM
There are many amazing functions which on hardware arrnager
can be only a "dream" !!! But I am missing some very important
functions:

- Hold Bass and Chord on left side, when vArranager is stopped
- Posibility to create user Sounds Programs with Bank (MSB, LSB) and
  Proghram Change on right side of vArranger, which can be used in edit
  of Styles (to change originaly sounds from Style etc...).
- In Sound Edit I am missing Editor with 20 or 30 Midi Controls (Faders
  Buttons...) which user can define with Midi Control Number to control
  his Sound Engine (software or hardware).

All other functions of vArranger2 are the best on the market, and no one
hardaware arranger can not be on level of vArranger2. Users of my Audio
Computer Systems play vArranger with very complex software instruments
system and simultaneosly also S1000 (integrated in this complex Sound Engine).
All is ultra stable and ultra simply to use. I miss only this functions what I
wrote above, and I shall be perfectly happy with vArranger2 !!!

No, jBridge is only just "Bridge" between 32 and 64Bit platform,
nothing more, but you can, with jBridge, import some 64Bit VST
Midi PlugIns in vArranger (as 64Bit VST Instruments) and control
what you need to control. There are many very, very good VST
Midi PlugIns on the market. For example, to make whole chords
from one note, or to make very short delay between notes in a
chords to simulate strumming on guitar, or to randomize note on
and note off in chords and etc... and etc...
#389
You can use jBridge with vArranger on many ways. First You can
play 64Bit VST instruments on VArranger (it is 32Bit aplication),
automaticaly this VST Instruments has no limit on 2GB. Naturaly
your OS Windows have to be 64Bit !!! Second, many Instruments
PlugIns which has eventualy probelm on vArranger like VST Host,
with jBridge they can play wery well. jBridge is very, very good aplication.
#390
Very good, amazing function. Do You make any alternative or
posibility for 64Bit VST Plug Ins. It is very important for a big
Sample Contents of NI Kontakt. On 32Bit aplications 2GB is a
maximum of RAM what an aplication can address. This mean,
that user have to open more instances of f.e. Kontakt, when
Kontakt Instruments in Instrument Bank load more than 2GB
of samples.
#391
Is the Led Feedback, including lighting, also suported for other

1. I don't know about Cantabile Lite, but I think it funct !!!

2. Audio signal is no matter in your case, it is a Midi. You have to
install Yamaha USB Midi Driver, for first. Also, you must install
any virtual Midi driver. Than, you will make one Cantabile Project
with one "empty Rack" and choice for Midi In your Virtual Midi
driver (the same virtual midi driver must be Midi Out in vArranger),
and for Midi Out ("Send to" in Cantabile) Yamaha USB Midi from
MOXF. See picture in Attachment !!! Conclusion: Cantabile will be
in your case, one Midi Processing and Midi Routing Tool and has not
any audio function. You can deactivate audio In and Out on Cantabile,
you don't need that.



Don't forget to activate MOXF Midi Out Port in Cantabile Configuration
and also Virtual Midi In Port !!!
 




If Sound Program Map from Dan's Motif XS compatibel with MOXF is
than you don't need all of this, but you must instal Yamaha USB Midi
driver and than you will choice this driver in vArranger2 Midi Out field.



3. No, it is automatically, vArranger send Bank MSB and LSB and
PCG midi events from every Style track and every new Style on
Cantabile. In Cantabile you must have Multitimbral VST Instruments
with possibility to "understand" this events and change sound
programs (Hypersonic, Emulator X3, Kontakt, or your MOXF etc...)
on this order from vArranger2. But, you have to know that Styles in
vArranger2 are from music instruments (hardware arrangers) which
have different Sound Program Map as your MOXF. Cause of that you
must create one Sound Program Remap in Cantabile. Dan has made
Motif XS Program Map and you can try with this Instrument Map,
maybe it is very similar and you don't need to create Sound Program
Remapping in Cantabile. 
#393
You're welcome. It is one very, very big field, specially when you will
make that on a professional level. I think when man one vArranger2
for his gigs use, than he is far from hardware toys, and wish to be
originally with his music and sound. So one software arranger like
vArranger2, is an open field to make your sound and performance
on the best and highest level, because you can decide what of high
quality VST sounds and what of thousand and thousand Styles you
will use. For this sense of value you have to sacrifice yourself for the
cause. It is not to much. Naturally, for the best sound and the best
performance only on software instruments (VST), you must have very,
very powerful Audio PC machine, but you can make your sound for now,
either with "light" software instruments like Hypersonic 2, or in "hybrid"
mode, with one hardware midi module like Ketron SD2 or SD1000 together
with some of sounds from NI Kontakt or Addictive Drums, or Emulator X3
or... or... All bets are of.       
#394
@paulus1971

Just one thing, what I forgot, XLN Addictive Drums Version 2 has GM Midi Note
Mapping !!! You can choice over 30 different Midi Note Mappings in Addictive 2. You
don't need Cantabile Mapping for Addictive 2, but you need Cantabile when you will
make Program Change with Drum Sets of Addictive Drums 2. In Cantabile you can
create Subsessions with different Drum Sets in Addictive Drums 2, and every of this
Drum Sets can has Program Change Number, also Bank Change Number. So vArranger
can send Midi Commands (Bank and PCG) to Addictive Drums 2 and change Drum Sets.
The best thing is, that is absolutely no delay by change of Drum Sets, just like in hardware
instruments.
Someone wrote about Yellow Tools Independence as software Sound Engine for vArranger2,
I have them and Independence sounded very good, but it is no right choice because of this
delay by Program Change on Style tracks. It is one very short crack to hear, and that is
unacceptable on live gigs. 

#395
Yes, in Cantabile Performer you can change Drum Mapping.
That is only one joke for Cantabile. Don't worry, Cantabile
can much more as simply Midi Note Mapping !!!
#396
It will be amazing, vArranger2 as one complex Midi and VST host
Center, with all performances which are required for professional
use !!!
#397
What of ASudio Card have you paulus1971 ? Only internal Sound Card
from your Laptop or one external USB or FireWire Audo Card. It is very important.
Dan wrote about this problem that most of Sound Cards can work wit only one
program at a time. It is true, but good external Audio Cards are ASIO Multiclient
cards, and they can work with many applications at a time.
It is a same thing, either VST Host or vArranger2 VST by 32bit VST PlugIns
when you don't need Midi Routings and when one of VST PlugIns don't need
more than 2 GB of RAM (that is maximum of RAM for one 32Bit  application).
#398
You can use NI Kontakt also with 8GB RAM but you must be carefully with
sounds with much of sample content. I made Live Audio systems on Laptops
with 8GB RAM based on Kontakt and vArranger2 and it funct !!! But check
first, maybe your Laptop support 16GB RAM it is usual on last generation.

Yes, in "VST Host" you can make all of Midi Routings and Filters what you need.
It is a little bit complicated, but also not so difficult to perform.

Effects in SetUps, for example, with NI Kontakt are much better as in any of
hardware workstations, same thing is also with other VST Sound Engines,
because you can configure your Sound Engine with the best VST Effects,
as AUX, but also as Insert effects. Simply unlimited possibilities, exceptionally
when you have one, so stable,  so powerful, and so flexible program, which
can control, and command all of this thousands sounds and styles in all actual 
and past formats: vArranger2 !!! You will need a little bit time to summarize
all functions and possibilities of vArranger2 and software Sound Engines, and
all of midi routings and filters what you need in specific situations or SetUps,
but than you will see what of powerful "machine" is vArranger2.       
#399
Like VST host program you can use "VST Host", it is a free program but very, very stable and very complex.
Another choice is Cantabile Performer, one of the best VST host programs on the market, but very expensive.
In Cantabile you can make Midi Routings and Midi Filters on way you need, everything is possible. I make my
Live Audio Systems with Cantabile as one of programs in a background.

As software Sound Engine you can use for example  Emulator X3 (sampler), or Hypersonic 2 (rompler), but
also NI Kontakt.
All of them can understand Program Change from vArranger2. For setup with NI Kontakt you must have very
big RAM, 16GB or more, and one specially created Kontakt Multi with 16 Instrument Banks and in all of them 128 same
Instruments except Drum and Percussion tracks (midi channels). That need very much memory. In my machines
I use Kontakt as Sound Engine based on Sample Content about 100GB samples. This setup need 12GB of RAM,
sound is amazing and setup with vArranger2 (and many other midi processing programs in background) is 100%
stable. I make this Live Audio systems many years (commercial) and i have tested with many other arrangeur
programs for Windows, but only with vArranger2 (as arranger software, but also as one midi command center)
it is 100% stable and 100% better as any top hardware arranger.
#400
No, it is not the reason. Cubase have not separate midi channel in. Cubase is not right
DAW for that, because by default, Cubase Midi In receive midi masseges allways on all
midi channels (omni), and you need separate midi in channels masseges. But, this can
be solved with use of Cubases Transformer as Input Filter for all of midi tracks. In the
Transformer, you have to filter all other midi channels, exept midi channel which you need
for this midi track.  Only on this way you can use Cubase as VST Host for vArranger2.

One another problem with Halion Sonic SE is, that this Instrument PlugIn can't change
sound programs on Midi Program Change events. Halion Sonic not "understand" PCG
commands, and definitely it is not right VST Instrument for your SetUp (with vArranger).
Halion Sonic is not like Hypersonic. Hypersonic can do this without any problem. Hypersonic
understand very well Midi Program Change Events, but also Midi Bank Changes (LSB) !!!
Unfotunately, problem with Halion Sonic PCG incompatibility can't be solved.
#401

Ketron SD1000 price in Germany is about 450 euros,
it is very close to $600 and it is very difficult to find
it on e-bay. Excellent sound, one of the best in Rompler
and Accompaniment instruments sphere, nobody will to
sell this piece of really music. 
Check here Ketron USA Dealers:

OK Dan, I shall send e-mail to you.

Thanx !!!
#405
That's true and this is the best way to select sounds. Is there (in vArranger) one
option to make User Prests like this grouped sounds for SD1000, or SD2, or XG,
or... ? I mean not User Multi sounds which is possible to make from preset sounds
(on Right 1 to 4), I know that is possible. I mean Preset Sounds for one new instrument
like Roland Fantom or similar and to select them in Options> Midi Ports > Midi Out.
#406
Definitely I am now sure, that real cause for polyphony cutting in
Yamaha Styles on SD1000 ver.1.1, is only Percussion Style Track

I have checked Yamaha Styles so that I change Sound Engine for
Percussion Track to one VST (S-YXG2006LE) and all other Style
Tracks play, as usual, sounds from Ketron SD1000  v.1.1, or I
had simply mute Percussion Style Track !!!
I had no more polyphony cutting also with all of Right and Left sounds
played with many, many notes. You can be sure that you can find
reason for polyphony cutting in vArranger2, on Percussion Style Track.
#407
Correctly, I know that. SD1000 hasn't Drawbars on Bank 67. It was stayed
in original SD1000 Instrument Definition file from Ketron site, I shell delete
this line in Instrument Definition of SD1000. Also GM Bank must be deleted
and Drum Bank must be corrected, so that Drum Kits can be loaded on Right
or Left sound tracks. To time this is not possible. Audio Drum Loops are not
in list of Instrument Definition, this must be also corrected. Many arguments,
to declare this Instrument Definition for SD1000 (from Ketron Site) as totally
incorrect !!!
#408
I don't think that problem of vArranger is. It is a wrong script in Cakewalk
Instrument Definition for SD1000, and also for SD2. Corrections what I
done are near end of script.

Hi Dan,

It is very strange and curious with this polyphony cut.
For example Style "8BEATADRIA" from Yamaha PSR
710 play without polyphony cut problems, and the same
Style "8BEATADRIA" from Yamaha Tyros 5 has massive
polyphony cut problems. I have checked both Styles and
Style from Tyros 5 has much more voices (midi notes).
I don't know... !!!!! In attachment are both Styles. I have
modified somewhat both Styles (sounds), because I send
Styles and .prs2 Files.
#410
I have checked a new Beta 5 version of vArranger2 with
SD1000 version 1.1 and... transition between Style
chords is now much better as in version Beta 4, but
problem with Polyphony is stay. Long chords on Style
tracks will be broken, solo tracks (Right and Left) too.

How to reinstall version 1.0 ?

Thanx Dan !!! 
#411
I have Updated SD1000 to Version 1.1, can You
send me Link to vArranger Beta 5 ?

Thanx
#412
The LSB and MSB were in old Instrument Definition exchanged. Because of that,
when you chose Sound Program from INS & SF2 > SELECT A SOUND table,
you heard only sounds from first Bank (A), no matter what of Bank you select,
because MSB was always "0", and only LSB values are changed (0,1,10,11). This
was wrong, MSB (#CC0) Midi Command must be different by Sound Banks A,B,C,D
(0,1,10,11) and LSB (#CC32) is always "0". Now is all OK !!!!!
#413
I have corrected Ketron SD1000 Instrument Definition, so that now
is possible to choice all sounds (from all 4 Banks) also via INS & SF2
"SELECT A SOUND".

Edit : The correct file is here : https://www.varranger.com/vforum/index.php/topic,1718.msg35279.html#msg35279
#414
Which 3 things they have corrected Dan ?

By the way, vArranger will have access to all the SD1000 features, including the multi FX
Is it now OK with Multi FX from SD1000 ? Where I can find this Effects on
vArranger ? What's happend with two Insert Effects of SD1000 ? They are not in Sound
Editor of vArranger2 !!!!!
#416
Now, with new version, I can't open
Hypersonic 2 VST instrument in vArranger.
Before was all OK with Hypersonic 2 !!!!
#417
Thanx Dan !!!!!
#418
It is dead link, I can't download a new version on link from
Beta what you send to me  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
#419
No, nobody can hear a difference, but I have external equipment (Tube Mic Preamp) which
is conected digital (SPDIF) on audio interface, and that is fixed on 48kHz. Cose of that, audio
interface have to be also on 48kHz, but vArranger fixed it on 44,1kHz. So I can't connect this
Tube Mic Preamp digitaly on my audio interface.
#420
What's happen with Korg Styles compatibility of vArranger2,
can we hope :) ?
#421
You have to buy vArranger2 software !!!!!
#422
vArranger2  v.1.18 Beta4 fix sample rate of audio interface on
44.1kHz with ASIO Driver. But I need 48kHz. I define sample rate
of my audio interface (Presonus 1818VSL) on 48kHz but every time
when I start vArranger2, it go to 44.1kHz. Is it possible to fix this
Bug or whatever is this ?

It is one new version of S-YXG50, called S-YXG2006LE. It has 3,5 times bigger
sample content (about 11,45MB; S-YXG50 has only 4,2MB). Sample Contents
of this Yamahas software synths are very, very hard compressed 20 : 1 but without
worse quality. Samples are on 44.1kHz/16Bit by playing.
#424
I understand, it is very, very fine.
What you say about Lock Finction ?
Can you update this function in new version ?
#425
I have "iiyama 24" Touch Screen (2 Multitouch point screen). Whats mean "MIDI LED FEEDBACK" ?
#426
Yes I put other software. The main software is Emulator Pro and vArranger is part of Emulator Pro platform. Emulatopr Pro is Midi Control Software, You can see more about Emulator Pro hier:
https://smithsonmartin.com/products/emulator-pro/
#427
Yes it is OK but vArranger Window is not locked it is only with
new size but I can move it on Screen.
With "lock" I mean realy lock so that vArranger window is not
moveable. It is very important function for play vArranger on
Touch Screen.
#428
Thanx Dan for Beta version !!!!!

It will be very nice when, in new version 1.18, we can Lock vArranger position on screen.
#429
Hi Dan,

can you send new Beta Version 1.18 to me ?

Thanx !!!!
#430
You can have all that, Vocal with harmony and effects and vArranger in a LapTop. But you need very, very good LapTop,
than very good and fast Audio Interface with Mic Preamp and at last, required software.
