I installed it yesterday for another video clip, and I lost all sound on my Win7 laptop, had to uninstall, but my sound is back now, thank goodness. Wow, if it does play actually plays user styles, it will definately be on my wish list. Been wanting an arranger module for my piano for ages. Might see if I can get clip running on my netbook. thank you _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

rikkisbears Senior Member Registered: 12/22/02 Posts: 6020 Loc: NSW,Australia	Hi , just realized there's also a U Tube clip, which I was able to play, the guy mentions USB stick & styles. If it does, then it's on my wishlist. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

I do have an FC7. I wish the E50 would accept it but it doesn't. The Break/mute isn't any use for me. It's easier just to hit Stop, then press the keys again when it's time to Start.

arranger_yes_pc_no Member Registered: 07/16/09 Posts: 319	Originally Posted By: doc-z I own RealStrat and RealGuitar, while they sound great, and work good in a mix - they do not sound like a real guitarist playing a real guitar. I also own GuitarRig, that is only effect and amp modelling - and again the models sound good, and work great in studio mixes - the models do not sound like their hardware counterparts. I have yet to try, hear and play any modelling software or hardware that sounds like a true vintage tube amp, or a vintage Tube Screamer for that matter. Even the new fancy "Reissue" tube amps do not sound like their grandfathers. I'm not saying that all of these sound bad, I'm saying they don't sound or feel authentic. That being said, very few have the economic privilege to own every classic amp from a Champ and Plexi to JC-120, so in value things like GuitarRig and PODs hold their own, because they do sound good. It's just not the same as flicking a switch and watch those filaments warm up and crank the thing to 11 and hear those EL's, KT's or 6L's roar. Or incase you own a JCM800 100W the screams of your neighbours begging for their sanity. DocZ then you want MOR or MOR2 from Eastwest / Quantum Leap. This is the only thing I found that used REAL tube amps in the recordings of the samples. I have MOR 1. While it's advertised as a 'metal group' library, you'll find in there many great vintage sounds, like a fantastic clean Tele through a real old Fender amp, as well as strats, PRS guitars, etc, through a variety of amps. JCM800 metal stuff: http://www.soundsonline-europe.com/Ministry-Of-Rock/ rock stuff: http://www.soundsonline-europe.com/Ministry-Of-Rock/ I agree with you about the modelling technology. Sounds quite fake in the end compared to real tube amps. also check 'Fab Four' from the same company. I don't have this one library but there's some great demos there. Sounds like Beatles' equipment. http://www.soundsonline-europe.com/Fab-Four/ And Goliath also has a nice array of real sounds from guitars and amps.... http://www.soundsonline-europe.com/Goliath/ Edited by arranger_yes_pc_no (01/14/11 06:54 AM)

It's Realtracks sounds like real performances (well, they are), and when it works well, the program is impressive. I have had many problems with it and in the end switched back to hardware arrangers, as I was wasting too much time. Even when it works well, the sheer amount of options are confusing. There is so much stuff for it that you'll find yourself sitting there for weeks. Also, in my experience it doesn't recognizes chords as well as the hardware arrangers. But for these Realtracks, it's hard to beat.
