Hi Rikki,

Yes, it is kind of soundfonts, but highly integrated, with no virtual midi cables, so you just have to press START and enjoy playing music.

I am very interested in this, and very glad you are working on it.
Just use high-quality soundfonts! wink Would be a shame to have it working, but the sounds to be less than hardware equivalent.
Will you use some existing library, or go on with a new sample set?

I have many ideas about samples and sounds, but I can't tell too much now.
I will let you know

I will definitely be interested in this too once it is an all incorporating piece of software with high quality sounds. I'll keep an eye on progress smile

I would love to use a Varranger prog or something like it BUT for my strict navagational needs when I'm performing I have never been comfortable with a software based arranger program versus using a stand alone Arranger KB. Maybe in years to come technology will change. confused1

For now vArranger can play Ketron styles (not audya), Yamaha styles, including Tyros 4.
Roland styles will come then
Korg styles after. (someone knows a little bit about the compression algorythm used by korg?)

Dnj, I don't think software arrangers will take place over the hardware arrangers, but in some situations they are very useful.

I know that I have on my toolbox a working vArranger inside my laptop, and when I need it, I just have to plug any midi keyboard, my Ketron SD2, and voila.

Hi Donny,
VArranger screen is much more user friendly than the others.

Dan, it's a pity you can't find a safe way of letting potential users demo it. No doubt you've had problems with piracy, but a lot of people would prefer to try before they buy, as it's not exactly cheap.
I'm not saying it's not worth what you're asking, but it's a lot of money if you find it doesn't suit your needs.
