== ARRANGER STATUS ==
[[File:Fig75.jpg | 560px | center]]
 
=== START ===
• With the Arranger stopped, pressing START starts the arranger (right or left click), the button will turn green and the label changes to STOP. The measure indicator is activated, the first of four LEDs indicates highlights (red light), the other, green, show time low.
 
• With the Arranger running, pressing STOP (right or left click) will immediately stop the arranger . The button returns to its orange colour and label changes to START (ready for a new start).
 

=== TEMPO ===
By successively pressing the "+" and "-" keys, you may increase or decrease the tempo value in steps of + or - 1. The limit values are between 40 and 250. The orange-red arc is proportional to the value of TEMPO and provides coarse adjustment TEMPO, buy click and sliding the mouse along a vertical axis.
 
 A first double click on the displayed value changes appearance as below:
 
[[File:Fig76.jpg | 240px | center]]
 
The small padlock in the centre and the yellow circle indicates that the tempo is locked at this rate, from one style to the next. This TEMPO LOCK function allows chaining of other styles on the same TEMPO.
 A second double-click cancels the TEMPO LOCK function
 
 
Note : TAP TEMPO: You can define a new tempo by time-clicking with the right mouse button on the TEMPO button.
 
 
You may also use OPTIONS -> CONTROLLERS to assign the TAP TEMPO function to a key.
 

=== SYNC ===
This Frame offers two options:
 
[[File:Fig76a.jpg | 640px | center ]]
 
 
'''Note:''' These two options are not mutually exclusive, checked simultaneously '''''vA2''''' will play only when it receives notes from the LEFT section.
 

=== COUNT IN ===
When the Arranger is Off, this function gives a metronome (drummer) count-in on the quarter notes of a measure before the arranger starts.
 
When the Arranger is On, the COUNT IN button changes to RESTART. A click on RESTART will immediately reset the arranger on the first beat of the measure.
 
The functions COUNT IN and RESTART are enabled with either right or left clicks.
 
You may also assign this button to a control or key by using OPTIONS -> CONTROLLERS.
 

=== FADE ===
• With the arranger OFF, pressing FADE IN (the button turns red) causes a fade in, upwards from the zero level to the configured sound level. When the sound level reaches the configured level, the changes to FADE OUT and the button returns to grey.
 
• With the arranger running, pressing FADE OUT (the button turns red) causes a sound fade out from the noise programmed to zero. When the sound level reaches zero the label changes back to FADE IN, the button becomes grey and the Arranger is stopped.
 
 
Note : The behaviour of the FADE function is identical in a MIDI sequence or Kar.
 
 

=== HOLD ===
The HOLD function, when activated, remembers the last chord played in the LEFT part, even after the keys are released.
 
When playing a style, it keeps the activation of all the accompaniment, bass and drums tracks.
Otherwise, when the keys are released only the drums tracks keep playing.
 
 
ARRANGER STATUS commands are all assignable in the menu OPTIONS -> CONTROLLERS, in the TRANSPORT section.

5.11. REALTIME ARRANGER

GordonS: /* REAL TIME CONTROL ARRANGER */

== REAL TIME CONTROL ARRANGER ==
The control of the arranger comes in different views, depending on the origin of the STYLE
loaded, for example:
 
[[File:Fig72.jpg | 720px | center]]
 
[[File:Fig73.jpg | 720px | center]]
 
=== INTRO ===
By default, '''''vA2''''' does not select an '''INTRO'''. An '''INTRO''' provides up to three variations for the introduction from the simpler (No. 1 or A) to the richest (3, C). The length of the introduction is variable depending on the style, but never less than one measure. The length appears in '''FRAME A''' as a blue horizontal progress bar.

With the arranger stopped, select an '''INTRO''' pattern (1, 2 or3), and the button turns red. Press '''START''' and the arranger will plays the selected INTRO and then step to '''VARIATION A''', or to any other variation you have previously selected.

During your song, you can again replay the INTRO, by simply clicking on the relevant INTRO button..
 

=== VARIATION ===
Depending to the origin of the style, '''''vA2''''' offers up to four '''Variations''': A, B, C and D or RIFF, and up to five '''Fill In'''s. These variations each have a different pattern of support in general from simple "A" to the richest "D". Some original Ketron styles offer RIFF instead of variation "D".
 
 
'''RIFF''' is a pre recorded musical phrase of several measures. Up to 32 steps, its length is indicated by the blue horizontal progress bar in FRAME A, the harmonic grid changes in into an agreement with the note played just before entering this variation. This feature is very popular for enhancing the musician's improvisation on a given grid.
 
The change over is indicated by the blue colour of the button.
 

=== FILL IN ===
Depending on the style, '''''vA2''''' provides up to three reasons for variations of FILL and BREAK; more for Ketron styles, and up to 5 FILL
IN for YAMAHA styles. By default, no FILL IN is selected. The buttons change colour upon selection.

With the Arranger Off, selecting a FILL or BREAK will start the arranger with that the FILL or BREAK.
 
The framework is provided with a button [[File:Fig73a.jpg | 60px]] which turns red when selected. This will then automatically start a FILL when changing a VARIATION according to the following arrangement:
 
[[File:Tabelle10.jpg | 360px | center]]
 

=== ENDING ===
'''''vA2''''' provides up to four types of ending, from the simplest to the richest, the length of the ending varies, but is never less than one measure. It appears in FRAME A as the blue horizontal progress bar.
 
 
Note : If you start the arranger on an ENDING, '''''vA2''''' will stop at the end of that pattern.
 
 
All commands can be assigned by the arranger menu: OPTIONS -> CONTROLLERS -> CONDUCTOR.

=== MARKERS ===
When '''''vA2''''' reads a sequence, the control panel of the arranger becomes a series of MARKERS which look like the following.
 
[[File:Fig74.jpg | 640px | center]]
 
A '''MARKER''' is used for finding a precise position within a MIDI file.
 
 
'''''vA2''''' displays the markers present in the MIDI file, in the area of variations arranger. A clicking on a marker
button, sets the MIDI file directly to the start position of this marker.
 
If the MIDI file is being played, the position change will take place at the end of the measure, for a smooth transition.
 
This is very useful if, for example, your require and additional chorus. Click on the marker Chorus, and at the end of the current measure '''''vA2''''' will chain perfectly to that chorus.
 
In menu '''OPTIONS -> CONTROLLERS, you may assign up to 15 tags to MIDI buttons, piano keys or PC keys ... (Section MARKERS).'''
 
 
You may also use the functions assigned to VARIATION UP and VARIATION DOWN keys to move through the markers, with the ability to support several steps in a row.
 
The third option is to use the control usually assigned to variations in key arranger. To do this, use a MIDI file editor and name tags, so that they contain: Intro 1, Into 2 or intro 3, or Ending 1, Ending 2 or 3 or 4, or Main A or B or C or Main Hand D or Fill In 1 or 2 or 3 or Fill In Fill In Break.
 
For example, if the marker is called "Main C" or "Solo Guitar Main C", you can go to the position of the marker by pressing the button or pedal assigned to arranger variation 3.

5.10. MIXER

2016-02-18T14:43:05Z

GordonS: /* SECTION SOUND EDIT */

== THE MIXER PANEL ==
The mixer group has 16 'strips', one for each 'track' as in the image below. Each track represents one of the 16 midi channels of the multitimbral midi synthesizer.
 Each track can be one of the following:
<ul>
<li>An arranger track</li>
<li>A midifile track</li>
<li>A left hand track</li>
<li>A right hand track </li>
</ul>


'''MIDI channel numbering can be confusing. MIDI Channels are named 1 to 16, but they are represented by physical numbers that are one less than that, i.e., 0 to 15. The numbers shown below are the ''physical'' number. To get the MIDI logical channel number, Please add +1 to all "Channel MIDI" in left column'''

Generally you can check this by looking at the number for the drums channel, which by convention is normally MIDI logical channel 10.

As and example: RIGHT1 below is MIDI Channel 13

Please not also that the mixer strips in arranger mode are ordered as in the centre column below.

::'''Key From''' and '''Key To''' allow you to select the range of keys(notes) for an action.
::: Define the '''Key From''' note by clicking on the displayed value and then play the desired note on the keyboard (the note number will be displayed.).
::: Define the '''Key To''' note by clicking on the displayed value and then play the desired note on the keyboard (which may not be lower than (to the left of) the '''Key From''').
::'''A velocity range:'''
:::'''Velocity From''' Sets the value of the strike force from which the note will be generated. A low value corresponds to "light" the maximum is "Sforzando."
:::'''Velocity To''' Sets the value of the strike force from which the note will no longer generated. This value may not be less than '''Velocity From'''.
::'''An octave change.''' up or down.
::'''A transposition in semitones.''' up or down.
 
These tracks allow you, for example, to produce a different tone and a different velocity according to the octave played

== THE MIXER PANEL ==
The mixer group has 16 'strips', one for each 'track' as in the image below. Each track represents one of the 16 midi channels of the multitimbral midi synthesizer.
 Each track can be one of the following:
<ul>
<li>An arranger track</li>
<li>A midifile track</li>
<li>A left hand track</li>
<li>A right hand track </li>
</ul>


'''MIDI channel numbering can be confusing. MIDI Channels are named 1 to 16, but they are represented by physical numbers that are one less than that, i.e., 0 to 15. The numbers shown below are the ''physical'' number. To get the MIDI logical channel number, Please add +1 to all "Channel MIDI" in left column'''

Generally you can check this by looking at the number for the drums channel, which by convention is normally MIDI logical channel 10.

As and example: RIGHT1 below is MIDI Channel 13

Please not also that the mixer strips in arranger mode are ordered as in the centre column below. 
For MIDI and Karaoke files, the channels to which the sounds are sent, and that the strips control, are in the right-most column below.

[[File:Fig41a.jpg | 360px | center]]

Multitimbral voices consists of two timbres to be played simultaneously on the same note

monotimbrale voices consist of a single timbre.

Each bank contains VOICE stamps sorted by ten pages in a vertical column on the right. 

Use the arrows [[File:Fig41b.jpg | 90px]] to navigate through the various pages of the library (here, page 2 of 6).

In the narrow bar between the two arrows, when the cursor changes shape, a mouse click will make the column disappear. The column will reappear when you select a bank.

Right-click on the label of a timbre to display a context menu similar to the following: [[File:Fig41c.jpg | 150px]] that offers the choices to add the stamp in MY SOUNDS or remove only for VOICE USER (yellow label). Removal requires a confirmation ("Are you sure you want to permanently delete the selected sound?") .

== VOICE MENUS ==
[[File:Fig41.jpg | 560px | center]]

The VOICE frame has 20 banks in which timbres are classified sound classes:

[[File:Fig41a.jpg | 360px | center]]

Multitimbral voices consists of two timbres to be played simultaneously on the same note

monotimbrale voices consist of a single timbre.

Each bank contains VOICE stamps sorted by ten pages in a vertical column on the right. 

Use the arrows [[File:Fig41b.jpg | 90px]] to navigate through the various pages of the library (here, page 2 of 6).

In the narrow bar between the two arrows, when the cursor changes shape, a mouse click will make the column disappear. The column will reappear when you select a bank.

Right-click on the label of a timbre to display a context menu similar to the following: [[File:Fig41c.jpg | 150px]] that offers the choices to add the stamp in MY SOUNDS or remove only for VOICE USER (yellow label). Removal requires a confirmation ("Are you sure you want to permanently delete the selected sound?") .

[[File:Fig42.jpg | 360px | center]]

The bank DRAWBARS contains timbres for a drawbar organ, the selection of one of them revealed a new window in which the settings are displayed for the selected Preset. A button SLOW / FAST can choose fast or slow the speed LESLIE effect. You can assign this button OPTION / CONTROLLERS.

[[File:Fig42a.jpg | 360px | center]]

You may change these settings by moving the drawbars and add percussion on two harmonics up. The result can then be saved as a USER VOICE by SAVE and SOUND (see 5.10.3 procedure ).

The OFF function individually mutes timbres, forming a multi-timbral sound.

the realization of a powerful and effective tool for stage and sharing this initiative with other
professional or amateur musicians throughout the world. 

We are listening to your comments and suggestions to change the software so that it matches
your needs. 

We help you install and configure the software, and we are committed to getting your full
satisfaction.

2. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

2016-02-14T17:12:07Z

GordonS: /* */

== ==

Connect to the computer your favorite MIDI instrument (usually a keyboard with a MIDI or
USB output, but also guitar MIDI, MIDI accordion ...)
Connect to the computer a MIDI synthesizer (sound generator) 

'''''vA2''''' recognises "real time" played arrangements and generates a complete
orchestration in the chosen style, while allowing you full control over all aspects of your
instrumental performance.

Rather than developing software with thousands of parameters to enter into menus and sub-menus, we opted for a more integrated approach. We decided to offer a ready-to-use solution for the musician, from beginning to end, for the chain of sound production. 

Of course, the software is inherently scalable and we are in constant technological monitoring to
integrate progressively solutions that really seem workable for the musician.
Our first choice turned to integration Ketron SD2 sound module.

Here is one of the possible configurations for the '''''vA2:'''''

[[File:Fig78.jpg |360px] | center]]

5.1. WINDOWS PROGRAM

2015-12-20T18:43:33Z

GordonS: /* vARRANGER ² */

== OPTIONS ==

[[File:Fig2.jpg |640px ]]

This window (Fig3) shows the available options for the vA2. It allows to configure midi ports, controllers, song chords,Master, Arabic scale. The effects is only available in the yamaha mode. 
[[File:Fig3.jpg |280px | center ]]

=== MIDI PORTS ===
This window allows you to choose or MIDI interfaces that will be active in IN and OUT from
those connected to the computer.
 
 
'''''vA2''''' can be controlled by one, two or up to three MIDI inputs with the following features:



{| class=wikitable style="margin: auto;"
! MIDI Input || '''''vA2''''' Feature || Notes and Observations
|-
| MIDI IN 1 || MIDI Instrument MIDI Controller
| This is the default input and is particularly suitable for everyday use from a master keyboard. It can receive:
* MIDI notes to be played by the LEFT part.
* MIDI Notes to be played by the RIGHT part.
* MIDI notes to control the arranger.
* MIDI notes to assign messages in the menu CONTROLLERS
|-
| Optional &lowast; MIDI IN 2 || MIDI Instrument MIDI Controller
| This input allows you to connect a second MIDI Instrument.
*If Play Notes is checked, then the notes received here will also be played by '''''vA2'''''.
*If Play Notes is not checked, then the notes received here can be used, for example, to adjust volume or panning, etc..
|-
| Optional &lowast; MIDI IN 3 || MIDI Controller
| This input is reserved for the use only of a MIDI controller.
|-
| Optional JOYSTICK || Commands
| This option allows '''''vA2''''' to receive external commands from a USB connected device
with a joystick-type operation, for example, analogue pedals with a USB interface.
|}

&lowast; Provided that the MIDI interface is provided with several MIDI IN input.

KEYBOARD MODE: By default '''''vA2''''' KEYBOARD MODE is configured on the MIDI CHANNEL
1 (Fig. 4)

[[File:Fig4.jpg |480px | center]] 
ACCORDION MODE: This mode is activated by selectingMIDI ACCORDION, it is then possible
to set the MIDI channel for the right hand (Right),the MIDI channel for the left hand (Left) and
the MIDI channel for Bass (Bass). 

[[File:Fig5.jpg |480px | center]] 

Now, only the MIDI ports used are displayed
This window also enables a second and a third MIDI input (MIDI pedal for example) 
'''MIDI LED FEEDBACK'''
Some MIDI controllers such as the KORG nanoKONTROL2have buttons that can illuminate,
these lights can beings controlled via MIDI. 
'''VIDEO:''' http://youtu.be/otV1oLeaLRE
This option gives you a visual acknowledgment without having to look at the computer screen.
For example, we assign 4 buttons variations ABCD arranger, button change during turns.
This option is active in OPTIONS / MIDI PORTS.
In the figure below is selected in the MIDI controller MIDI IN 2nd by checking the LED feedback
box this MIDI (Fig. 6) entrance, you can choose theMIDI port to accept control LED (fig. 7)
 
[[File:Fig6.jpg |480px | center ]]
 
[[File:Fig7.jpg |480px | center]]
 
Note: To accept the control of LEDs, MIDI controller may require adjustments. For example, for
the KORG nanoKONTROL2 the KORG Kontrol Editor program (available on the website
KORG) and select is used: 
- CONTROL MODE = CC 
- LED MODE = EXTERNAL
 
[[File:Fig7a.jpg |560px | center]]
 
Similarly, for each button, choose:
- ASSIGN TYPE = BUTTON CONTROL CHANGE BEHAVIOR = MOMENTARY-OFF VALUE = 0 - ON VALUE = 127
 
[[File:Fig7b.jpg |560px | center]]
 
To save the settings, go to the menu Communication,Write Scene Data.
 
'''Caution: Before version 1.17, vArranger worked in TOGGLE mode, now you will probably re-set your midi controller MOMENTARY mode. Most MIDI controllers are factory configured in this way'''
 
 
'''MIDI OUT:''' 
For best sound results, you must choose the mode that best suits your tone generator module.
The MIDI OUT framework offers a choice between GM modes, GM2, GS, XG, Ketron SD2 and
SD4 depending on the device connected to MIDI OUT.
 
 
Note : The choice Ketron SD2 and SD4 leads to the appearance of the check MY SD2/SD4
Freezes box in the OPTIONS window - MASTER
 
 
The GS mode is recommended for Roland synthesizers.
XG mode is recommended for Yamaha synthesizers.
GM2 mode is recommended in all other cases, such as the Hypersonic 2 VST or other GM compatible VST.
 
 
'''SYNCRO OUT:'''
 
Ability to synchronize vArranger with other software or MIDI synthesizers. To do this, check the box next to Send Clock MIDI output concerned.
 
For proper operation, it is necessary to set other software or MIDI synthesizer, so he agrees to synchronize to an external MIDI clock.
 
With this option '''''vA2''''' can play in rhythm with another arranger, arpeggiator, sequencer, drum machine, etc..
 
 
If you do not use this function, it is advisable to leave unchecked the box, because it sends continuous MIDI messages.
 
 
It is also possible to use up to three sound modules simultaneously with '''''vA2''''' By selecting the midi ports in MIDI and MIDI OUT 2 OUT 3.
This option allows for example to double the polyphony of sound modules Ketron adding other modules.
START button to confirm the settings during initialinstallation or change thereafter.
 

=== CONTROLLERS ===

=== MASTER ===
'''BASS BOOST : ''' Adjusts the equalizer by selecting the correct frequency and gain. Asterisks
indicate default values.
 
'''MIDI INPUT GAIN: '''MIDI MIDI IN1 and IN2 potentiometers are used to adjust the overall level of
MIDI inputs 1 and 2 respectively.
 
If when you play the melody notes, the sound of your MIDI instrument is too low, or you need to
play hard to reach high velocities, you can add a bit of gain with these controls. It is advisable to
leave these two knobs to 0, and adjust the velocitycurve in the options of your MIDI instrument,
if the permits.

'''MY SD2/SD4 Freezes'''
 
The old Ketron SD2 have a bug and sometimes crash. This option, MY SD2/SD4 freezes, once
selected, prevents the SD2 plant, filtering some MIDI messages.
 
Note : This option is checked by default, appears if a SD2 and SD4 is a selected MIDI OUT
(OPTION, MIDI PORTS).
 
If your SD2 does not crash when reading midi test-it is better to shoot and all the midi messages are sent.

'''CHORD RECOGNITION THRESHOLD VELOCITY : ''' Ability to filter the notes low intensity to avoid unwanted chord changes. This is especially useful for MIDI guitarists because unwanted
notes are easily sent by open strings touched.
 

=== EFFECTS ===
[[File:Fig22.jpg |560px | center]]
 
This window allows you to set the CHORUS DELAY DISTORTION effects.
 
=== ARABIC SCALE ===
This function allows you to create valid ranges in countries that use the Arabic scales. Selected notes (in red) are lowered by a quarter tone, the OFF button restores each note their original
intonation.
 
[[File:Fig23.jpg |240px | center]]
 
NB: To delete this window it is necessary to return to OPTIONS then ARABIC SCALE
 

== MIDI ACTIVITY ICONS ==
On the top bar of the main window, there are four icons, each representing one of the four MIDI inputs and showing its MIDI activity.
 

== vARRANGER ² ==
By clicking on this title, an information window will appear:
 
[[File:Fig24.jpg |240px | center]]
 
== PANIC ==
With low quality MIDI interface, some MIDI messages can be lost, and this result in some never ending notes, or wrong chord recognition.
This red button sends the command "ALL NOTES OFF" on all MIDI channels, with the intention to stop all sound, and tries to reset most of the actual settings of vArranger.
 
Note that if the problem involves, for example, a disconnected MIDI cable, then the message can't arrive and any previously played notes will remain audible.
 
[[File:Fig25.jpg |120px | center]]
 

== TIME ==
Displays the current time. By clicking on the display, a display is tilted 12 to 24h
 
[[File:Fig26.jpg |120px | center]]
 
== MINIMIZE AND CLOSE ICONS ==
These are located at the right-hand end of the top-bar and work like the usual Windows minimize and close icons.

A click on the minimize button of the window also momentarily frees keys assigned to PC keyboard for '''''vA2'''''.
 
For example, in CONTROLLERS, you can assign the "MINIMIZE / RESTORE APP" function to the PC Escape (Esc) key.
 
Then, a first press of the "Esc" key will minimize the '''''vA2''''' window, the second press restores the '''''vA2''''' window to the screen.

Double-clicking somewhere in the black background will brings the '''''vA2''''' window from normal to full screen and vice versa.
 
When in the normal mode, you can also move and resize the window in the usual way.

5.11. REALTIME ARRANGER

GordonS: /* REAL TIME CONTROL ARRANGER */

== REAL TIME CONTROL ARRANGER ==
The control of the arranger comes in different views, depending on the origin of the STYLE
loaded, for example:
 
[[File:Fig72.jpg | 720px | center]]
 
[[File:Fig73.jpg | 720px | center]]
 
=== INTRO ===
By default, '''''vA2''''' does not select an '''INTRO'''. An '''INTRO''' provides up to three variations for the introduction from the simpler (No. 1 or A) to the richest (3, C). The length of the introduction is variable depending on the style, but never less than one measure. The length appears in the FRAME as a blue horizontal progress bar.

With the arranger stopped, select an '''INTRO''' pattern (1, 2 or3), and the button turns red. Press '''START''' and the arranger playss selected INTRO and then steps to the '''VARIATION A''', or to any other variation you have previously selected.

During your song, you can again replay the INTRO, by simply clicking on the relevant INTRO button..
 

=== VARIATION ===
'''''vA2''''' offers according to the origin of the style variations up to 4 A, B, C, D or RIFF and up to 5 FILL IN. These variations each have a different pattern of support in general from simple "A" to the richest "D" some original Ketron styles offer RIFF instead of change "D".
 
RIFF is a pre recorded musical phrase of several measures. Up to 32 steps, its length is indicated by the blue horizontal thermometer part A, the harmonic grid rotates in the tone of the recent agreement struck before entering this variation. This feature is very popular for enhancing the musician's improvisation on a given grid.
 
The change over is indicated by the blue color of the button.
 

=== FILL IN ===
'''''vA2''''' provides up to three reasons for FILL IN BREAK more for Ketron styles and up to 5 FILL
IN for YAMAHA styles. By default, no FILL is selected, the buttons change color upon selection.
Arranger Off, selecting a fill / BREAK will start the arranger on the FILL / BREAK preset from its
start.
 
The framework is provided with a button [[File:Fig73a.jpg | 60px]] which turns red when selected. This automatically starts a fill when changing CHANGE according to the following arrangement:
 
[[File:Tabelle10.jpg | 360px | center]]
 

=== ENDING ===
'''''vA2''''' provides up to four reasons for terminating the simplest to the most wealthy, the length of the reasons for terminating the style varies but never less than one degree. It appears in the FRAME (blue horizontal thermometer).
 
 
Note : If you start the arranger on ENDING, '''''vA2''''' will stop at the end of the pattern end.
 
 
All commands can be assigned by the arranger OPTIONS / CONTROLLERS then CONDUCTOR menu.

=== MARKERS ===
When '''''vA2''''' reads a sequence, the control panel of the arranger becomes bulletin board MARKERS which look like.
 
[[File:Fig74.jpg | 640px | center]]
 
A marker is used for storing a MIDI file in a precise position.
 
'''''vA2''''' ''' display the markers present in the MIDI file, in the area of variations arranger. Clicking on a marker
buttons, reading the MIDI file directly to the start position of this marker.'''
 
If the MIDI file is being played, the position change will take place at the end of the measurement, for a smooth transition.
 
This is very useful if you eg public requires additional chorus. You click on the marker Chorus, and at the end of the current measurement, a chorus will be chained perfectly.
 
In '''OPTIONS / CONTROLLERS, it is possible to assign up to 15 tags to MIDI buttons, keys or PC ... (Section MARKERS).'''
 
 
It is also possible to use the functions assigned to CHANGE CHANGE UP and DOWN arranger keys to move through the markers, with the ability to support several times in a row.
 
The third option is to use the control usually assigned to variations in key arranger. To do this, use an editor of MIDI files and name tags, so that they contain: Intro Intro 1 or 2 or 3 or Intro or Ending Ending 1 Ending 2 or 3 or 4 or Ending Main Main A or B or C or Main Hand D or Fill In Fill In 1 or 2 or 3 or Fill In Fill In Break.Par example, if the marker is called "Main C" or "Solo Guitar Hand C", you can go to the position of the marker by pressing the button or pedal
assigned to variation 3 arranger.

GordonS: /* MIDI ACTIVITY ICONS */

== OPTIONS ==

[[File:Fig2.jpg |640px ]]

This window (Fig3) shows the available options for the vA2. It allows to configure midi ports, controllers, song chords,Master, Arabic scale. The effects is only available in the yamaha mode. 
[[File:Fig3.jpg |280px | center ]]

=== MIDI PORTS ===
This window allows you to choose or MIDI interfaces that will be active in IN and OUT from
those connected to the computer.
 
 
'''''vA2''''' can be controlled by one, two or up to three MIDI inputs with the following features:

[[File:Tabelle1.jpg |640px | center]]

* Provided that the MIDI interface is provided with several MIDI IN input.
KEYBOARD MODE: By default '''''vA2''''' KEYBOARD MODE is configured on the MIDI CHANNEL
1 (Fig. 4)

[[File:Fig4.jpg |480px | center]] 
ACCORDION MODE: This mode is activated by selectingMIDI ACCORDION, it is then possible
to set the MIDI channel for the right hand (Right),the MIDI channel for the left hand (Left) and
the MIDI channel for Bass (Bass). 

[[File:Fig5.jpg |480px | center]] 

Now, only the MIDI ports used are displayed
This window also enables a second and a third MIDI input (MIDI pedal for example) 
'''MIDI LED FEEDBACK'''
Some MIDI controllers such as the KORG nanoKONTROL2have buttons that can illuminate,
these lights can beings controlled via MIDI. 
'''VIDEO:''' http://youtu.be/otV1oLeaLRE
This option gives you a visual acknowledgment without having to look at the computer screen.
For example, we assign 4 buttons variations ABCD arranger, button change during turns.
This option is active in OPTIONS / MIDI PORTS.
In the figure below is selected in the MIDI controller MIDI IN 2nd by checking the LED feedback
box this MIDI (Fig. 6) entrance, you can choose theMIDI port to accept control LED (fig. 7)
 
[[File:Fig6.jpg |480px | center ]]
 
[[File:Fig7.jpg |480px | center]]
 
Note: To accept the control of LEDs, MIDI controller may require adjustments. For example, for
the KORG nanoKONTROL2 the KORG Kontrol Editor program (available on the website
KORG) and select is used: 
- CONTROL MODE = CC 
- LED MODE = EXTERNAL
 
[[File:Fig7a.jpg |560px | center]]
 
Similarly, for each button, choose:
- ASSIGN TYPE = BUTTON CONTROL CHANGE BEHAVIOR = MOMENTARY-OFF VALUE = 0 - ON VALUE = 127
 
[[File:Fig7b.jpg |560px | center]]
 
To save the settings, go to the menu Communication,Write Scene Data.
 
'''Caution: Before version 1.17, vArranger worked in TOGGLE mode, now you will probably re-set your midi controller MOMENTARY mode. Most MIDI controllers are factory configured in this way'''
 
 
'''MIDI OUT:''' 
For best sound results, you must choose the mode that best suits your tone generator module.
The MIDI OUT framework offers a choice between GM modes, GM2, GS, XG, Ketron SD2 and
SD4 depending on the device connected to MIDI OUT.
 
 
Note : The choice Ketron SD2 and SD4 leads to the appearance of the check MY SD2/SD4
Freezes box in the OPTIONS window - MASTER
 
 
The GS mode is recommended for Roland synthesizers.
XG mode is recommended for Yamaha synthesizers.
GM2 mode is recommended in all other cases, such as the Hypersonic 2 VST or other GM compatible VST.
 
 
'''SYNCRO OUT:'''
 
Ability to synchronize vArranger with other software or MIDI synthesizers. To do this, check the box next to Send Clock MIDI output concerned.
 
For proper operation, it is necessary to set other software or MIDI synthesizer, so he agrees to synchronize to an external MIDI clock.
 
With this option '''''vA2''''' can play in rhythm with another arranger, arpeggiator, sequencer, drum machine, etc..
 
 
If you do not use this function, it is advisable to leave unchecked the box, because it sends continuous MIDI messages.
 
 
It is also possible to use up to three sound modules simultaneously with '''''vA2''''' By selecting the midi ports in MIDI and MIDI OUT 2 OUT 3.
This option allows for example to double the polyphony of sound modules Ketron adding other modules.
START button to confirm the settings during initialinstallation or change thereafter.

5.11. REALTIME ARRANGER

2015-12-18T14:35:50Z

GordonS: /* CHANGE */

== REAL TIME CONTROL ARRANGER ==
The control of the arranger comes in different aspects, depending on the origin of STYLE
loaded.
 
[[File:Fig72.jpg | 720px | center]]
 
[[File:Fig73.jpg | 720px | center]]
 
=== INTRO ===
By default, no INTRO is selected '''''vA2''''' provides up to three reasons for the introduction of simpler (No. 1 or A) to the richest (3, C), the length of the introductory units is variable depending on the style but never less than one degree. It appears in the FRAME (blue horizontal thermometer).
 
Arranger Off, you select the intro pattern (1, 2 or3), the button turns red, pressing START starts arranger INTRO preselected to bind the A CHANGE CHANGE or any other previously selected
.
 
It is possible during the game to a replay INTRO, you only have to click on the reason for his choice.
 

=== VARIATION ===
'''''vA2''''' offers according to the origin of the style variations up to 4 A, B, C, D or RIFF and up to 5 FILL IN. These variations each have a different pattern of support in general from simple "A" to the richest "D" some original Ketron styles offer RIFF instead of change "D".
 
RIFF is a pre recorded musical phrase of several measures. Up to 32 steps, its length is indicated by the blue horizontal thermometer part A, the harmonic grid rotates in the tone of the recent agreement struck before entering this variation. This feature is very popular for enhancing the musician's improvisation on a given grid.
 
The change over is indicated by the blue color of the button.
 

=== FILL IN ===
'''''vA2''''' provides up to three reasons for FILL IN BREAK more for Ketron styles and up to 5 FILL
IN for YAMAHA styles. By default, no FILL is selected, the buttons change color upon selection.
Arranger Off, selecting a fill / BREAK will start the arranger on the FILL / BREAK preset from its
start.
 
The framework is provided with a button [[File:Fig73a.jpg | 60px]] which turns red when selected. This automatically starts a fill when changing CHANGE according to the following arrangement:
 
[[File:Tabelle10.jpg | 360px | center]]
 

=== ENDING ===
'''''vA2''''' provides up to four reasons for terminating the simplest to the most wealthy, the length of the reasons for terminating the style varies but never less than one degree. It appears in the FRAME (blue horizontal thermometer).
 
 
Note : If you start the arranger on ENDING, '''''vA2''''' will stop at the end of the pattern end.
 
 
All commands can be assigned by the arranger OPTIONS / CONTROLLERS then CONDUCTOR menu.

=== MARKERS ===
When '''''vA2''''' reads a sequence, the control panel of the arranger becomes bulletin board MARKERS which look like.
 
[[File:Fig74.jpg | 640px | center]]
 
A marker is used for storing a MIDI file in a precise position.
 
'''''vA2''''' ''' display the markers present in the MIDI file, in the area of variations arranger. Clicking on a marker
buttons, reading the MIDI file directly to the start position of this marker.'''
 
If the MIDI file is being played, the position change will take place at the end of the measurement, for a smooth transition.
 
This is very useful if you eg public requires additional chorus. You click on the marker Chorus, and at the end of the current measurement, a chorus will be chained perfectly.
 
In '''OPTIONS / CONTROLLERS, it is possible to assign up to 15 tags to MIDI buttons, keys or PC ... (Section MARKERS).'''
