Hi Everyone !
Just checking in to say I am happy we have a home of our own. KVR forum, and the like, are grear sources of information, but it is like going to a huge church, you don't know anyone. For those that don't know me, I play out with a Technics KN7000, but knowing that all hardware breaks down, and,or, becomes dated, I have begun the software route. I am using a Muse Receptor, loaded with Colossus, B4 organ, and just received Kontakt2, as well as a myriad of effects and synyths that came with it.
Since I am 65, I am going the sample route. I really can't get into experimental electronic music.
I am trying to learn this new approach, and it will take time, but it is a great adventure.
Thank you, Nigel and all Bernie

Hello Bernie Did you purchase the full version of Kontakt 2 or the upgrade version? (The upgrade version can be added to any soft synth that uses the Kontakt Player, such as Colossus) If it was the upgrade, did it come with all the standard Kontakt 2 sounds, or just the interface? You don’t say whether you are using B4 or B4II, however if you are using B4II then you can use the learn function to assign any button of your Midi control keyboard (Assuming it outputs midi codes) to any controls that are visible down the left hand side of the B4. (If you also have assignable sliders then these can also be mapped to the B4II Drawbars for real-time control) Finally welcome to the forum, as we seem to be getting quite a wide range of uses on here. I.e. People that use controller keyboards and computers, Hardware soft synth controllers and Computer based Arranger Keyboard uses.
Bill

Hi Bill I got the full version, but a cross grade special because I have Colossus with Kompakt. It is now just Receptorized, and will wait until Tuesday to install.
I have B4II, and very interesting what you said about "learning mode". I have to get a better controller keyboard. The man at Sweetwater sold me a Roland PC-80, which doesn't hace the capability to handle much of that.
Maybe you can coach me on that later.
Bernie

Hi Kevin, Style Factory is also available for individual brands ie Roland, Korg etc not sure whether you're quoting the universal version ?? either way, when converted to some currencies, it's a lot of money. Did the Roland GW7 convertor work for your keyboard or is it specific to the GW7? I don't have a Roland keyboard to try it on. My understanding was, the software could be used to create a "style from a midifile"?? That's what I luv about OMB. It can actually store phrases ( tracks) & parts (variations, intro's etc) to create a library ( similar to what Style Factory does) but the phrases have to be in psr .sty format and the styles you create from them, again only in psr .sty format. If the GW7 midi to style convertor works with your keyboard, you could create the style in OMB, create a midifile from that OMB style and convert OMB midifile with GW7 convertor. I used to use the above procedure to convert psr styles to midifile for my technics. best wishes Rikki Originally posted by Kevin Woolley: Hi Rikki & Scott
It is a great pity that Style Factory is so expensive. You have to remember that $250 in our currency is equivalent to nearly R2000 which is a considerable amount - especially for a program that is not in constant use.
If I could find the Roland style file format then I would have a look at programming some sort of style creation program. It could also have a preview function. Maybe it is something even Jos could look at for OMB.
Cheers
Kevin
