Dan,
Is there any possibility that this will/can be ported to an iPad?

If that is possible, I would certainly buy the program! No further negotiation needed smile

Have you had many enquiries re the iPad? Enough to make it a possible project?

Thanks
Dennis

I have got a lot of questions about vArranger on iPad !

If Midem will buy it without negotiation, it is fore sure a good project smile

I am personnaly not sure that I will get back the investment in term of money and time.

I want to wait and see the iPad2...

Also, a lot of Win7 tablets are going out thoses times.

Think about it too

Dan

Thanks for the link...worth looking at..

So your program will run happily on any of the W7 tablets coming out this year?

Or indeed the Android platform (ver 3)?

Only Windows.

Think about USB port to connect your keyboard and your sound module.

SSD should be good, because, no noise, and no sensible to shocks

Yes I am pretty sure the iPad 2 will have NO USB port, even a mini one.

I use the camera connect kit and an Edirol UM1sx on my iPad. I also have the option of using the Line 6 Midi Mobiliser.

But the W7 tablets being released this year look interesting, although battery life is still only half of the iPad...Until they can get that sorted I think they will stay well behind iPad

It's not a problem for me. When I gig, I always plug the POWER smile

Do you have any news when the Mediastation Rack will be released?
Maybe we can do something interesting with vArranger

Dan as far as I know the rack is being released at Musik Messe...

I am getting one, so it was why I am becoming interested in your programme.....

If we can get it to work on the Groove Rack flawlessly, well then again, I will happily buy it at your asking price smile

I have been an owner of Lionstracs gear for several years, and I am very au faix with it's OS, and reasonable with Linux as well smile

OS 5, is going to be so far in front!!!

When I get my Groove I would be quite happy to run some form of limited test version of vArranger and assist in getting it ported correctly.

I am doing the same for the PA2xPro and the iPad.

Look Dan, if you can plug a T4 style into a MoXF with this software, and have it come out sounding pretty much like the T4, you are going to sell a BOATLOAD of programs if you market it right...

A) MoXF's come in 76 and 88 sized keyboards
B) MoXF's basic sounds are far better (in some sounds) than T4 (to be fair a few T4 sounds are better, also)
C) MoXF has full multitrack audio and loop and arp capabilities

If it played Yamaha T4 styles properly, it would be almost a no-brainer (and be cheaper, too) for those of us not looking for a simple 'home keyboard'.

Hi Dan,
how did you manage to get around the difference in the SD2 GM & Live Drums versus the Yamaha XG mapped drums.

The biggest headache I have when converting a Yamaha style across to my Korg is the drums.
With the korg , I could at least create some drum kits that match the Yamaha Drum Mapping, but wouldn't really have that option with the SD2.

For instance, there's a number of yamaha styles that use brush sounds, even though it's not using the actual brush kits.( ie there's brush sounds as part of the xg standard kits that are not available in GM standard kits)
Do the brush sounds just get left out? or are they played as some other type of drum sound.

best wishes
Rikki

With this module, vArranger try to do everything for the musician, so he just have to load the style and play.

You can select the synth module connected to vArranger, and it will try to do the best.

For now the options are : GM / GM2 / GS / XG / KETRON SD2 / KETRON SD4.

I implements new modules as clients need them.

I am not sure about the Motif megavoices, but I can remap if there is a need

The Tyros 4 will stay at it's high place ! And congratulation to Yamaha for thoses inspiring styles

Diki,

I just downloaded the MotifXF documentation. I am sot sure that the Tyros megavoices and drum kits are mapped the same way. We need to try it.

Rikki, you don't have to do anything, vArranger is doing the right mapping, depending on the module connected, and the drum kit selected.

Dan
