Yeah I already SAID the sound was average in my post or did you miss that
The whole point was to tell you it can be done...not how GOOD it was going to sound...

The thing you are forgetting is it is ONLY midi data...make of style has no bearing whatsoever...

I had styles running using BFG drums, Broomstick Bass and Guitar Rig from NI....I could use ANY style from any maker as long as the style playing software could interpret the midi data... this was with other software. I only used vArranger with the TTS just to confirm the connections. I went back to a PA3 soon after that, so I did not develop it any further...

As for them not sounding better you obviously have not heard then using specialist instrument vst's which totally sh@t over ANYTHING Roland can produce!!!!

And yes I KNOW the VSTs are going to cost more than the sound banks on a G70, and ergo are theoretically out of reach of most as you would need to buy about 8 really good ones, but they will give a brilliant sound result.

You keep referring to Dom and the MS....vArranger is SO far away from that it is not funny...The MS downfall was trying to operate it as an audio only arranger...that was why the midi data side fell down so much..in planning and development midi was the poor (distant) cousin. Had Dom concentrated on midi only data but using vst's as the sound engine it would have worked quite well.

Still would not have sold many, as it is Linux, but it would have worked.

You say it can't be done...don't you read...I already wrote above I have DONE it, and was DOING it...it ain't rocket science you know

If you want a point by point on how to do it just ask...but really m8, I thought you were more with it than this....

vArranger already runs perfectly, styles from Roland, Yamaha and Ketron......what more do you want!!! And all using the SD2 as the sound source. Dan has done a brilliant job...

Dan is the person who is driving the push to use vsti's as the sound source so he can keep it all in one contained system, no external hardware of a sound generating nature is needed...remember, and I will say it again....vArranger is ONLY midi data!!!!No audio...

Rather than trying to find negative jibes at his efforts you of all people should be actively trying to be more positive about where he is taking it!!!!

If I wanted to I could run vArranger into a Kronos...it would be a doddle!!

Look that's enough from me on this. You have your opinion and you clearly don't seem to want to move off it, lest you appear wrong perhaps, or for whatever reason I cannot fathom..no offence meant.

Anyway that's me done...
