I've already uploaded 2 videos showing the arranger functioning and sounding like a a normal closed arranger. If you want to see it running on premium content then you will just have to wait as I have to assemble my premium content GM bank to do this in the first place. I'm even writing a computer program for the keyboard which I will give away for free that aids the end users in creating their own premium content GM banks.

James, I just want to ensure that you don't think I am trying to usurp you on this

I know you are very busy and the work you have done so far is brilliant. As I have said to you, it ws your work that inspired me to return to the MS

This little exercise I was proposing was trying to help you out and take some pressure off you from all the nagging that was going on.

I am aware of how long it can take to set up just the "right" GM bank. After all there are only 128 slots....So I do understand the frustration that can come from folks continually asking the same questions.

So if you would prefer me to back away from this in the short term and let you complete your project first, I am happy to do so.

Just as I am happy to continue on

I really do not know where the hell some people here get the notion that excuses are being made anywhere???!!!

You have NEVER claimed the arranger was "better" than closed arrangers, I know I certainly haven't....

So how can we make an excuse for statements we never made??? Beats me.

Waht we CAN do is use the same style midi data provided by Yamaha, match the same genre of instruments within the GIGA/VST banks and see what result we get.

I think it will be a great sounding style, albeit a bit DIFFERENT to the native Yamaha style.

That was my plan anyway.
