Is there a better solution for playing with VST?

[polvader]

As a beginner Varranger user, I experiment in order to get the best possible performance for live playing. I'm going to play instruments from the Dana bank and VST. Unfortunately, Varranger does not save settings VST. So I came up with an idea:
I set the output to LoopMIDI Port on the tracks: "SENT TO OUT MIDI 3". I turn on DAW - Cakewalk, set subsequent tracks with VST sounds and synchronize them with Varranger tracks. When the song sounds correct, it saves its status in Cakewalk and Varranger. The big disadvantage is the fact that when I want to play with the same settings later, I have to select a style in Varranger and in Cakewalk.  Is there a better, faster way to load settings with saved VST functions?

I have already described it many times.
With Cantabile it is no problem, it saves all
VST settings.
You can use drums from the VPS Avenger or Nexus, allocate all the individual tracks.
Create a session for VA2 for the individual tracks.
A sound expander for the normal tracks or all in  Halion7.
Works perfectly.
You just have to start Cantabile, then VA2, all the sounds
are set automatically.
Only use VA2 via the internal MIDI interface.
Then just select a style and play.

Thank you very much for the tip. I see that I still have to absorb a lot of knowledge... I have Genos, but Varranger has amazing potential...

I have one more question. Does anyone know how to run songs faster using Varranger and Cantabile? Now, when I want to load a new style, I have to press the style button in Varranger and select the preset in the cantabile, which is quite inconvenient - my monitor is small. Is there any setlist program or can we combine our songs in Varranger with presets in Cantabile?

If you use a sound expander,
you can set everything in VA2 and load your style with your settings.
Everything will be automatically transferred to the expander.
The sounds you set in VA2 will be sent to the expander exactly as they are.
I wrote that.

I understood. But for me it's the individual sounds that matter. I understand that your settings mean that Varranger sends messages to Cantabile on individual VSTI-loaded tracks and e.g.: Avenger selects General MIDI sounds itself...? What I mean is that I want to set what sounds will be played on the instruments loaded into Cantabile. For example, bass guitar no. 5, not 2. And when I load the style in Varranger - it will send the ready settings to Cantabile. But this is probably not possible You have to create a preset in Cantabile for each musical style in Varranger.  Next load the style in Varranger (e.g. Reggae) and the created preset in Cantabile for reggae. So now I use Steinberg VST Live 2 instead of Cantabile, it seems it does it better. It has easy access to presets.

If that works for you, OK
