Am I missing something, or isn't there a DEMO version, before having to buy this?

Does it work?

Hi Guys

I've just combined my first set, i did it on 2 styles only, but if two are working than the whole full set should work too.

Its simple and easy.

Everything is working fine, but there are few things that need to be fixed. Its a bit annoying importing sound by sound into the keyboard, but babosh will work on this in future updates.

I have copied the styles successfully, but not the user sounds, i think this feature is still missing in the software and being developed.

Keep working babosh, try to make the program copy all the sounds together with the styles at the same time, into the empty space, this will really speed up the whole process.


Problem1


The "Full Report" feature generates the style and gives us the "Original" sound names, but not the "User" sound names, only some, the program should show both used in the style, because most of my styles are mixed, it uses half original factory sounds, and half My user sounds. At the moment if i follow the generated report my style will not sound the same as in the original set because of this.
It does show some user sounds used, for some styles, i have selected the ones that doesn't show and i tried to combine them.
There is definitely a bug in the report, i tried everything i could, and it just doesn't show user sounds for some styles. I have loaded original set in the keyboard, just to make sure that it does uses user sounds.

Problem2

Once the set has been loaded in the pa2x pro, the style shows only the factory sounds in the right position, but the user sounds are not there.
Now user sounds need to be linked to the style in order to sound good, but i don't know which user sounds should be there because the generated report doesn't tell me, other than this everything else is fine.


So basically i think the problem is just in the report, its working fine for the factory sounds, but not for the user sounds used.


Babosh in the pa keyboards, i can select in the style to use only "Original sounds" which is basically what your report is showing, and i can select to use both, and i think everyone is using both, so when i select to use "Original" sounds than style is using factory sounds which are the same as in your report.

Sorry for my bad english, but i think you will understand what i mean.


Keep working, you've done a great job so far.

I came across the same issue, but I wasn't sure if it was me doing something wrong, or it was just a feature under development.

Actually, I didn’t fully understand your points, but let me explain something which may clear the picture:

When you combine two sets (actually you make a new set and start importing styles from other sets e.g. SET1, SET2, SET3,..)
The software will do the following:
It will open the imported style and analyze it searching for user sound and drums, if it find any then it will changed the to new location (new sound or program, which doesn’t exist yet in the SET at this step)
and then will save it, those sounds are also added to a report list (which is needed later).
The internal sounds are not changed because they are the same.

After you repeat this step for all styles that you want to import you can save the STY file that contains the imported styles

Now you can generate the import report from the menu
Import->Create Import Report

This report will contain the path of the SET you imported the style from it, and the name of the user sound(s) that is(are) used by that (those) style(s), the last column is the position of those sounds in the new SET.
Actually the software is linking the style to the user sounds but they are not in the SET and this is what the user should do now
You should load (import) those sounds to the new SET in the PA machine and then you should see them in the style again and the style will sound like the original


Please try that and inform me

Many thanks to all of you and Best Regards

Hi Babosh

Ok, let me repeat myself, when i said that report doesn't work, i didn't try the full report on the new set that i made, i made the report on the original set, the one that i use to copy styles from, and not the new set that i'm making. And that's where the Bug is.

For ex. in the original set i've got 100 styles, 90 of them use USER programs, but when i do your report, it will show that only 70 of them is using USER programs, and that's where the bug is.

The program works perfect, it does copy all the information, and it is working once you load USER programs in the set, but one thing i have to do is i have to link the copied style to the copied programs inside the PA, one by one, and than it works.

So yes you can continue with the copying part, just fix up that full report bug.

One thing you will have to do when copying programs together with the style into the 'new set' is to tell the software to search for the empty spaces inside the USERDK and Programs USER1,2 also the samples and copy the new user program into the empty spaces only, and than link the copied style to them and than save it automatically, otherwise it will overwrite the programs that are already in there, and won't link to them.

What you are asking me to do i have done, it works.

Keep working, can't wait to see it finished.

Hello Babosh,
I have tried to follow your info given here but it is not working. After making a new set, when I go to import styles from other sets, the new set that I just made disappears or should I say it is not there anymore in the software window. How can I import anything to it, if it is not there anymore? You did promise us a step by step direction via your website but so far none. Hope to hear from you soon.Please be in touch and take care.

Best regards,

Fahim

Instructions on how to combine sets:

You must open two pa softwares in order to copy from to another, you can't do it all in one.

Open first one:
Go File->New set->Type name of your set->select the folder where you want to store it
In 'style files list' window at the bottom click New -> than type the name of your styles folder-> click ok->than click select at the bottom

And now your new set is ready for importing.


Open Second Pa software:
-Click file->open set->select set
-In "style file list" click on one of the users and click select when window opens you are ready for exporting.


All you have to do now is 'RESTORE BOTH WINDOWS" and divide them on half of your screen each, so you can see both pa softwares at the same time, all you have to do now is click on the style you like and drag it to the other Pa software into the style list. Keep doing this for all you styles.


After you've done this you have to print the full report and than import user sounds one by one to your keyboard as it says in the report, in order to sound the same.




--------
But i think there is a bug in the report, it doesnt show all the user sounds that were used in that style, it does for most of the styles but it skips some of them that were copied.

Also Babosh please let us know you are thinking of updating this program and keep working on it, otherwise we wont wait for it, i will start doing my set manually.


Happy New year to everyone.
