Dan,
I recently received your latest updated vArranger v19.12 software, (in future New "2020 Version NEXT").
When I click on some of the Channel Strip Panel, the Main (20) Instrument Panel doesn't respond properly to display instruments in the Right GUI .
As a result, I cannot change instruments.
The Drum and Perc, Accompaniment 3,4 and 5 don't work, the other channels work occasionally, only the Right 1 and Left 1 are working.
How can I fix, or will be corrected in the next upgrade?
The OTS function seems to not save "Right Hand Sounds", however, I will try with more variety of Yamaha Styles on all 4 OTS functions and advise further.
Regards.
Try this :
- Select a track
- Select one of the 20 groups of sounds
- Select one of the 10 instruments in the right vertical list
Is it ok now?
Yes, OTS are just bonus ideas to see what has been programmed by the style creator. Then, you can do SAVE RIGHT SOUND, to "take them for you"
Your saved sound are visible when you select the RIGHT or the LEFT track, close to the master fader
I have to do this manually for every track on each style to work. It would help if done automatically I observed on a previous version.
The same applies to the 4 OTS function (excellent idea). The following is what I did:
I select a style, choose Variation A, click on OTS 1, instrument changes on RIGHT Sounds, I do SAVE RIGHT SOUND. The Sound is saved automatically in RIGHT or the LEFT track, close to the master fader.
If I choose OTS 2 for the same style, instrument changes on RIGHT Sounds but when I do SAVE RIGHT SOUND, The Sound/s is NOT saved in RIGHT or the LEFT track unless I manually change and save . It retains the sounds from OTS 1. The same applies if I use other Variations or OTS 3 &4.
Could you advise of correct procedure?
BTW, are the OTS link to the 4 variations?
Regards.
Actually the sound is selected, if it exists on the list.
if the sound is for example 8-1-45 and you doesn't have it on the list, then it will not be selected automatically
For the OTS, when you do SAVE RIGHT SOUND for your second sound, you give it another name. It will be saved in another preset
No the OTS link, is for the 4 first sound in the MY SOUNDS bar, that you can drag and drop from the right vertical list
Dan,
Followed your instructions.
I saved OTS (1,2,3 and 4) as RIGHT SOUNDS , gave new names and saved as other presets.
It seems that the Main (20) Instrument Panel doesn't "see" these changes to automatically display instruments in the Right GUI
and the Channel Strip Panel.
On using the same (revised) style again, you have to manually select Instruments on Main (20) Panel Menu and then click on Right GUI
to show on Channel Strip Panel.
If you click OTS 1,2,3,4 again, instruments as shown on Channel Strip Panel, but they are not reflected in Main (20) Panel Menu or Right GUI.
Could this be implemented in next upgrade to automatically link OTS instruments with Main (20) Panel Menu and Right GUI?
Notwithstanding the above, the updated vArranger v19.12 software appears to be working satisfactorily so far.
Regards.
Great !
To see your saved sounds, you need to select the RIGHT or the LEFT track, close to the master volume fader
You can drag & drop your new sounds into the MY SOUNDS bar
You can do SAVE SONG, and select what you want to save
Dan,
Yes, I can SAVE RIGHT/LEFT Sounds, drag & drop into the MY SOUNDS bar, recall and save many instruments (registrations) for various styles and A,B,C and D accompaniments. This not a problem.
I am specifically referring to OTS Single and Multi Sounds programmed by the style creator. It seems that these "bonus ideas" resides only in the OTS and cannot be saved independently as SAVE RIGHT/LEFT SOUNDS as you mentioned. It is also noted that the highlighted (selected) OTS disappears when trying to SAVE.
Regards.
Yes.
In vArranger you can use the OTS, or create a new sound form the OTS, but can't modify them.
OTS from Yamaha styles are a pretty recent addition and the idea was not to replace the vArranger actual sound saving system, but only to check what good ideas has been done, and serve as a basis for your own sound creation.
