I think you can even get the LED feedback with that keyboard. It is maybe a little hard to configure. But it is very good kb !

This seems to be a ridiculously difficult machine to set up

with I'd have got the A800 at £130 less

I sent a couple of pm's to xuanvuz but haven't heard from him yet

HEEEELLLLLP

The Novation is the best !
Just tell us what is your problem actually?

[stewbow]

ok, I've just managed to get all the controllers set up in Advanced Mode, modifying the template by changing all the buttons to Momentry.

It works ok, but I would like to get the LED Feedback Working

So first, select the novation for the led feedback midi
Can you post a screenshot of the midiports, so I can see the MIDI devices list

I think it is OK...

I can see a yellow error message behind. Maybe MIDI are not connected.

Try set the computer's energy in Performance Mode, then unplug and replug the SL

Then Run vArranger again

I have just purchased a Novation SL Mk 2 to use with Varranger. What is the best mode to use Advanced or Automap

From what I can see the set up with advanced mode seems to give me a lot more control and I can get the feedback lights to work although a lot harder to set up. However Automap seems to offer the extra bonus of VSI control which I hope to get into at a later stage.

Comments appreciated

You should not use AUTOMAP mode

vArranger own his own special mode for the SLMKII

vArranger can control VST instruments too : http://www.varranger.com/vforum/index.php?topic=1760.0

I think vArranger become the best VST host software:)
