Jick Duck, it is certainly good to hear from you and to see that a software based arranger system can work and work well.

As you know I have used a combination of LiveSynth Pro & Soundfonts for my auto accompaniment and kontakt for my lead or melody voices. Kontakt provides for very high quality sampler (sound & effects) and moving to Bandstand would improve the overall quality of my auto accompaniment. The problem right now is to get the drums to work properly (select the correct drum kit and the correct drum instruments within each kit). I am currently working with M. Bedesem to see if we can get his Midi Player to do the job. Once this is done the conversion will be quick and easy.

Everyone already knows this, but there is no better service in the whole world of music then provided by M. Bedesem. The price of his programs is Zero Dollars and the support is free, quick and kind!!!! It just does not get any better than that.
