Vquestor, I think VSampler needs some tweaking but it is close to working properly for our needs. There is a version 3.03 on the VSampler site but not on Cakewalk's. My version is 3.02 which may explain some of the strange happening. If worse came to worse, I think I could get it to work properly along with the appropriate changes to the Yamaha styles. At the moment this is the next best alternative - Oh no!!!

The Demo version of Live - Styler should not be quiting on you. Usually demos either do not permit saving or stop sounding but not disappearing from the computer screen. You may have some installation tweaks to make with in Live - Styler which may solve this problem. You might try and only run the accompaniment part and set all the other left/right voice midi ports/channels to off. Similarly set only the import port to your keyboard to the appropriate midi port and leave the other two off/unassigned. I have had similar things happen but with some tweaking I have been able to get Live - Styler to where it never faults - touch wood!!!

Furthermore, ensure that you have only the required midi ports/channels running in forte/LiveSynth Pro (e.g., Midi Yoke 1)
