Can vArranger merge two or more incoming midi channels to spell out chords like the Roland BK7m?  For instance, a C bass on one channel and Em on another channel to play the CMajor7.     

Thanks,

This can be done with the MIDI ACCORDION or MIDI ORGAN mode

Sure enough.    I connected my midi accordion and selected the accordion mode in VA2.  It works great and it's nice.   Many of the Italian arranger expanders, if not all, can not merge incoming midi channels and therefore play only triads when driven by a midi accordion.   

The midi accordion, Microkeys 61, a USB sustain foot switch all going through MIDI-OX to VA2 - now I have a sustain pedal that never existed with my midi accordion or the Korg Microkey 61.   Flexibility is definetely the forte of a software arranger like VA2.
