Professional Use

Hi Dan

I am an arranger player, but do have an SD2.  The first question is if you can make song specific configurations and put them in a playlist in performance ?

The second is to whether you can play an SMF using the SD2 GM soundset and use the arranger at the same time.

I am very interested in your software, but have limited knowledge of softsynths.
Thanks

Hi Bernie,

Song playlist is coming in the update of this week.

What about taking a style, with a specific configurations, adding some RTF lyrics or JPG sheetmusic... all is loaded in one click...

Why do you need playing SMF and Arranger together?

But you can play SMF and sounds with your keyboard together.

Regards,

Dan

I can see why you would ask the questions.  I use different tools, depending on where I am playing.  I play in a band and have used my SD2 with an Axiom 61 controller because I love the way the instruments cut through the mix.  I also use other keyboards that don't need arranger features.

I also play out as a OMB with a Technics KN7000 or Roland G70.  Sometimes I play along, as well as sing, to SMF's(midi Kar) displayed on my netbook using Notation Composer to scroll my melody line, as well as lyrics.  I have an old Echo Indigo, which serves as my sound source from the Netbook.  Here the SD2 edges out the Echo, but I have to hookup an M-Audio interface along with the SD2. Here is the reason I asked about playing SMF's and the controller keyboard at the same time.  I wasn't able to figure out how to do it.

Sometimes I use my Music Pad Pro to display lyrics or sheet music, and run my SMF's through the Arranger, or play styles.

As you may quess, I am a gear hound, but for nursing home jobs, I don't feel like carring all my gear for an hour's gig.

What got my interest was that your software is matched to the SD2, Which, fortunately, I already have.

I know you have spent countless hours on this because I have followed it's birth on the Synthzone Ketron Forum, and am confident you are continually making improvements.  I am not sure this is something I need, but it sure has possibilities.

Hi Bernie,

My goal is to provide a unique software to be able to do all what you are doing with your setup.

-Playing sounds
-Arranger for Styles
-SMF while playing sound
-Lyrics with line follow
-Lyrics and sheet music on the screen
-MP3
-and more...

Of course all is not 100% finished
But this is my goal
