Roland Controller Help Needed

[Deane]

I usa a Roland A-800 Pro keyboard with vArranger.  So far I have only been able to get buttons A1-A8 to work as assigned buttons.  A5 is Variation UP, A6 is Variation down, A7 is 3rd ending,  A8 is 4th ending, buttons A1-A4 are the variations linked to sounds.

These are the only controlls I can get to accept an assignment.  The sliders will not, nor will any other of the controlls on the keyboard accept and assignment from vArranger.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Deane,

Try installing this Roland tools for editing what every control is sending.
I suggest you to put all your controllers sending to midi channel 2 (not 1) and send CONTROL CHANGE number 0 to 127

Hi Dan,
I'll give it a try.  I have been messing with the editor for the controller and setting up control maps but they don't seem to do much good.  I feel like I am getting close though and will continue to work on it.

On the CONTROLLERS screen, there is a line at the bottom who show you the midi activity. This can help you to see and understand what is going out from your keyboard
