Hi Dan

Could you add support for the Band-in-a-Box styles please?
http://www.pgmusic.com/

The same styles uses Microsoft's automatic voice acompaniment software Songsmith.
http://songsmith.ms/

These styles are convertable to keyboard style format using Styles-to-the-Box

That's a neat tool!   It will be great to use BIAB styles in vArranger.

Here are the pack of original Songsmith styles (freely downloadable with the program)
and the SFF1 versions of these styles. (generated using Styles-to-the-Box)

Band in a Box styles dont work with a real time arranger, only with a preprogrammed chord progression..

I can convert any BIAB style for example to the Yamaha's SFF1.
Then I can play it using vArranger.

V.Muller.  What you are saying sounds very good.  How does  Styles-to-the-Box handle BIAB styles' Real Tracks, though?

I've had the opportunity to use Styles to the box in Styleworks to convert band in a box styles to real-time styles (Ketron, Yamaha, ...).
I was not at all convinced by the result that gives styles very simplistic and far worse than the real styles to arrange real time.

oui bonjours
tres facile a faire mais tres long a faire...

dans band in a box prendre chargé une sequence de sty de jazz en exemples

bon courage,   si vous avez des question je suis pas loin,

fazfaz, thanks for your reply.   I kind of thought it wouldn't work too well with the Real Tracks of BIAB.   

Hernandez, thanks for your reply, too.   Google didn't do a good job translating but I got your point.  Sounds like it is a bit too much trouble for me.
