Hello everybody,

vArranger version 1.17 is available for download.

Here's what's new in this update :


- MIDI LED FEEDBACK :

Some MIDI controllers like the KORG nanoKONTROL2 have buttons that can illuminate, and those lights can be controlled via MIDI messages.


VIDEO : http://youtu.be/otV1oLeaLRE




This feature provides additional visual information and avoids having to look at the computer screen.

For example, if you assign 4 buttons to the A B C D arranger's variations, the light of the button of the current playing variation will turn on.

To enable this feature, go to OPTIONS / MIDI PORTS.
Select your MIDI controller for the MIDI IN 1 or MIDI IN 2 or MIDI IN 3 lists
Check the LED Feedback box of this MIDI input, and select the MIDI device accepting the external LED control.







Note : there may be some adjustments to make on your MIDI controller to accept the control of LED.

For example, for the KORG nanoKONTROL2, you must use the KORG Kontrol Editor software (available on the KORG website), and select :

- CONTROL MODE = CC
- LED MODE = EXTERNAL



Similarly, for each button, select :

- ASSIGN TYPE = CONTROL CHANGE
- BUTTON BEHAVIOR = MOMENTARY
- OFF VALUE = 0
- ON VALUE = 127



Then, to save the settings, go to the menu Communication, Write Scene Data.


- STYLES ROLAND : Transition between chords has been improved.

- Simplification of the MIDI PORTS screen : Only the ports used are displayed.
To use more MIDI ports, check the appropriate boxes.

- OPTIONS/CONTROLLERS : Adding MY SOUNDS RIGHT - and MY SOUNDS RIGHT +.
This is useful to select a sound from the 10 'MY SOUNDS' bar with only 2 buttons.

- OPTIONS/CONTROLLERS : Adding RIGHT EXPRESSION and LEFT EXPRESSION.
This is useful to control the volume of the melody with an USB/MIDI expression pedal or a breath controller, etc ...

- MIDI Controllers : Better management of MIDI buttons who send Control Change Value = 0 when they are released.

Warning: Before version 1.17, vArranger was working in TOGGLE mode, now you will probably need to change your midi controller settings to send in MOMENTARY mode.
Most MIDI controllers are set in this mode as factory.


- INS : Adding a list that shows the alternative sounds from all banks.
This is useful if the sounds of other banks are classified according to the GM standard.



- OPTIONS / MASTER /CHORD RECOGNITION VELOCITY THRESHOLD : Ability to filter low velocity notes, to avoid undesired chord changes. This is especially useful for MIDI guitarists, because unwanted notes are easily sent by open strings touched.



- Improved selection of bass notes played by the arranger, in the case of a chord change on a foreign bass note.

- For MIDI accordion players, with the BASS TO LOWEST option set, playing another bass note will replay the current chord with the new bass note.

- Improved rendering of Tyros 4 styles.

- Improved rendering of MegaVoice bass sounds.

- Pressing the button assigned to the SEARCH feature activates the search mode. Pressing the button a 2nd time, cancels the ongoing search.

- French Accordion support for the row of 7th (contact me for activation)

- SONG CHORDS: The number of bars of each section was added to the list of sections, to help placing Intros, etc...

- Other Enhancements...



- Corrections :


- When chaining a style after a midifile, SEND TO MIDI OUT 1 2 3 selections are now correct on all tracks.

- With the AUTOSTART MIDIFILE & MP3 option enabled, pressing the PANIC button or closing the MIDI PORTS screen started up the midifile.

- Fixed an error message, if the style or midifile contained a tempo greater than 255 BPM

- PDF / Multi-screen : If the first score loaded was in pdf format, it was not displayed on the 2nd screen.

- Fixed the display of Karaoke words in 2 cases.

- On 6/8 midifiles, and other special signatures, clicking on the blue navigation progress bar was not working properly.

- The MASTER VOLUME is set again when clicking on the PANIC button.

- Other adjustments...


And as usual, the update is FREE for all owners of a vArranger license.

ENJOY !!

Dan

Hi Dan,

Today's good news!
Could you please let me have the download link.

Thank You

Dan

New version sent to everyone..

Stuart, did you set the leds to EXTERNAL on the Korg editor?
Then menu Communication, Write Scene Data?
Everything is set like on my picture screen?
Leds are not working at all?

stewbow

Stuart, did you set the leds to EXTERNAL on the Korg editor? YES
Then menu Communication, Write Scene Data? YES
Everything is set like on my picture screen? YES, THE KORG SOFTWARE PICTURE IS THE SAME
Leds are not working at all? ONLY WORK WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTONS, THEY DON'T STAY ON

The Midi Port Select Diagram ---------Is this showing 2 different examples of a midi in/out setup?
You say--select the MIDI device accepting the external LED control----------is this the sound device that I want to play?-------where is the varranger soft syth?

I keep getting a message--please don't select the same midi output more than once----How do I get rid of this message?

thanks

Stuart

Dan

mmm...
Don't select the LED FEEDBACK for your MIDI IN 1
If your Korg nano is selected for the MIDI IN 2, then select the LED FEEDBACK only on the MIDI IN 2.
So, for the led feedback of the MIDI IN 1, select NONE, and for the led feedback of the MIDI IN 2 select KORG nano...
Don't check the "Play notes" box

Hi Dan
I am waiting for new update  8)

stewbow

Dan
I think that in the opening post LED tutorial you should say that in the Korg Kontrol Editor you need to select Edit/Preferences and tick the select manual midi box, then select the nankontroller in the midi in and out section.

This took me ages to work out

All the best

Stuart

hi  Dan, Can i get the link to the new update too...thanks

Dan

Stuart, I was Lucky, the Korg editor recognized my nanoKontrol2 automatically.

However, The installation of this device was not easy, and I had to do some unusual things to be able to install it.

Hi Dan,
Thank you once again for your continued hard work in making vArranger the absolute best! I played a gig yesterday at the local Senior Center & got many, many compliments.
I relized that I should have purchased vArranger a long time ago from you as I could have saved myself alot of money buying various arranger keyboards hoping to find "the perfect arranger". Now I have found it in vArranger!
Thank you.....Thank you.....Thank you!!!

Hi Dan,
I've been taking a long break.Just noticed you've had an update, so  could you please send me the link also.

markstyles

Hi

My name is Mark Styles.  I would like to look into vArranger2.  Presently I am using Logic Pro, Tyros 4, Band-in-a-box, and Synfire Pro.. But you're program looks very promising..  I can run Windows 7 on my MacPro with VMware.. It gives me complete access to MIDI etc.

I would like to try the demo, please....

Thanx... (will there be a Mac version?)

mstyles@nyc.rr.com

Deane

Hi Mark,
I have been using vArranger now for well over a year.  I use it on gigs and it works really great.
Dan does not provide a demo for various reasons.  Those of us who own vArranger have all been
very pleased with the program and Dan provides free upgrades to it on a regular basis based a lot on
what is asked for on this forum.  It will do just what Dan says it does and plays Ketron, Yamaha, and
Roland styles.  I use mine with a Ketron SD2 module(recommended setup) and a Roland A-800 Pro controller - works great.

Deane (Hammer)

Dan

Sorry Marc, there is no demo, and no mac version of vArranger.
How midi & audio software are working on vmare? stable, fast?

Hi Dan,

I haven't visited this forum in a long time and ask if you could please send me the link
to the latest version.

I know I've missed a lot of the new features since my last visit and have a lot of posts to read
to get up to speed.

Keep up the good work though!!!!

hayseed

Hello
I'm trying to settup the Nanokontrol 2 on my asus 8.1 win laptop.   nano  is recognized in the sound and video game devices but it will not show in the list of midi devices on varranger for me to try and set the rest of the unit up. 
Has anyone had experience setting up the nano on their computer that could give me some direction.

Thanks
Hayseed

pchristensen

Can you send me the new version to? Mmmm. Tyros5!

Dan


ninh

Hi Dan,

Can I have the version 1.17 that can play Tyros5' styles please.

Thanks,

Ninh

Dan

Ninh, I sent it to you one month ago.
Is it working for you with the Tyros 5 styles?

hayseed

Hi Dan

I did download the newest drivers from Korg before I started to install the Nanokontrol 2

Thanks
Hayseed

ninh


Ninh, I sent it to you one month ago.
Is it working for you with the Tyros 5 styles?
[/quote]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your response.
Yes,you did but that version did not read the Tyros5 styles.

Thanks Dan,

Ninh

hayseed

Hello Dan 
I was wondering if the reason that the korg is not being seen by the Varranger is in the startup mode of the nanokontrol   there are several ways of starting it when it is to be plugged into the USB port.  what is the proper way to start the nanokontrol so that it can be seen?

Thanks
Hayseed

Dan

There is a KORG USB-MIDI configuration utility where you can set the driver to work with 32Bit, 64bit or BOTH platform.  You need to select BOTH

hayseed

Hi Dan

That was also set to both

Hayseed

Dan

Maybe you need to unninstall KORG drivers, and reinstall it again.
If it's not working, I can try to help you in your computer
Run http://www.varranger.com/support.exe
and send me you ID in a private message
And let the support program opened, until I connect.

Dan

Your problem is corrected :)
The secret is that KORG drivers only works if it is on one of the 10 first slots (in their unninstall utility).
I don't know why a big company like KORG do things like that...

ninh

Thank you Dan for sending me a new 1.17 version. It's now working good with Tyros5 styles.

Thanks again,

Ninh

Arthur

Dan,
Please send Me the new version.

Arthur

Hallo Dan!  Please send me the link for the Version 1.17 Update

Greetings

daidupso

Hi Dan,

May I please have the BK-7M Version 1.17?

Thanks very much, :)
Peter

Dan

vArranger is a PC software to play styles in real time.
Not a BK-7M update :)

jbg31792

Hi Dan,

Please send me the 1.17 June 29th update too.

Will this new update cause the chord incidentals to display correctly in the Song Chords?

Much obliged,

John

Dan

Just sent you the new update with Korg styles. This one corrects the chords display too

jbg31792

Thank you Dan for the new update to 1.17,

The chords all display correctly, and at the end of Each SongChord song it automatically goes to the beginning of the next song.

This is huge for me, as I now don't have to touch the computer anymore when using the midi foot controller to go from one song to another.

And I'm glad that you let me know that I have the new update by adding 1.17.6.

Great work,

John

KBPlayer

I really need that version!!
Is it possible to record a played song as a MIDI in real time like in a normal keyboard?
Could you please send it to me?

Dan

To get the new version, you need to buy it here : https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=954JMYAW8WV6L

To record seriously, it is better to use first the SONG CHORDS to enter the chords in the grid, and to export it in Midifile.  Then record melody in your DAW software.

Or use a software like MIDIOX to record outgoing midi notes

If you are using virtual instruments, you can record what you are playing in WAV or MP3

Arjam

Hello Dan,   Which are the best styles to use with the Ketron SD1000 ?  Also please can you send me the latest 17 update.
                Many thanks Alec ( arjam )

Dan

Ketron SD5 styles sounds good on the SD1000 for most.

Roland Korg Yamaha styles can sound good too. You need to test, and eventually remix a bit

Hi Dan,

FranSX

To update "vArranger" need for each version, ask links to the author. Unheard of.
This is absurd.

agaton

It is only just your second post on vArranger
Forum and in a both posts you wrote the same
thing. Have you really nothing better to write
or ask about vArranger2 software ?
It is not "unheard" !!! It is only securely for
author and for us, legal users. Author send
new updates also without asks. Don't worry
you will become every update like all of us !!!

FranSX

Sorry but I have no updates in my mail since march 19. I can't use the old version because my activation Pendrive breaks and I send the information with a new pendrive and "vActivate.exe"  but there is no answer. I am a LEGAL user like you but i have no support. You have? Congratulations.

Dan

Hello FranSX,

If you have any problems with your vArranger, just contact me, and I will see what I can do to help you.
Until now, I did not hear anything from you.

If this is something that is concerning the activation , it is better to contact me privately : http://www.varranger.com/contact-us/

About the free updates, if you are interested, simply say hello here, download and then thank you.

Maybe this will change later, for something more automatic, with a mailing list.

Regards,

Dan
