| == PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION ==
| |
|
| |
| You connect to the computer your favorite MIDI instrument (usually a keyboard with a MIDI or
| |
| USB output, but also guitar MIDI, MIDI accordion ...)
| |
| You connect the computer a MIDI synthesizer (sound generator)
| |
| take care to recognize "real time" played agreements and generate a complete
| |
| orchestration in the chosen style, while allowing you full control over all aspects of your
| |
| instrumental Thurs
| |
| Instead of developing software with thousands of parameters to enter into menus and
| |
| submenus, we opted for an integrative approach.
| |
| So we decided to offer a ready-to-use solution for the musician, from one end to the other 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.
| |
| | |
| == FEATURES ==
| |
| | |
| vA2 gives you full control and easy sound module: Changing the Tone Multi effect, sound
| |
| synthesis, mixer on 16 MIDI channels, Eastern Range, Organ drawbar, Splits, Layers ...

| |
| complete without converters. The legendary grooves, wah-wah guitars, mounted bass, brass
| |
| riffs, furious Latin rhythms, guitars' Unplugged ... $$
| |
| vA2 can be controlled remotely from your MIDI keyboard controllers, or by keyboard
| |
| (wireless?) from your computer. All functions can be assigned in one click!
| |
| Included 400 new sounds (up to 5 layers) of exceptional richness for Ketron SD2 module.
| |
| Further :Possibility to connect two MIDI instruments. Mode split (Split) simple and flexible.
| |
| Total control DRAWBARS, for lovers of the Organs ofdrawbars.
| |
| With , Your sound module is operated at its maximum. Youhad never imagined capable of
| |
| such potential!
| |
| The development team consists exclusively of passionate musicians who want, above all,
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| == INSTALLATION ==
| |
|

| |
| installation instructions within 24 hours, and the vArranger software download email.
| |
| You can choose between two modes of installation:
| |
| - Installation on your computer (requires no USB, but only works on a single computer)
| |
| - Installation on your USB brand (Kingston, Sandisk...), so you can use the software on any
| |
| computer by plugging the USB key before launching vArranger.
| |
| This choice is final.
| |

| |
| This window also enables a second and a third MIDI input (MIDI pedal for example)<br><br>
| |
| '''MIDI LED FEEDBACK'''

| |
| these lights can beings controlled via MIDI.<br><br>
| |
| '''VIDEO:''' http://youtu.be/otV1oLeaLRE
| |
| This option gives you a visual acknowledgment without having to look at the computer screen.
