Message: [QUOTE="Arranger, post: 180961, member: 7055"] I totally agree with you about perfect pitch not being natural with certain instruments and I admit that these trumpet samples actually don't sound that bad on their own. It's mostly when I stack the trumpet up with a sax and a trombone to make a brass patch that it starts to sound like an amateur school band. This is an example of the samples I'm talking about that need tuning: [URL='http://%3Ciframe%20frameborder=%220%22%20scrolling=%22no%22%20src=%22https://www.freesound.org/embed/sound/iframe/247126/simple/large/%22%20width=%22920%22%20height=%22245%22%3E%3C/iframe%3E']https://www.freesound.org/people/MTG/sounds/247126/[/URL] How is my Soft Arranger different from VArranger you ask? Well the short answer is that VAarranger is much better :) I really don't know VArranger very well but it has been around for a long time. I suppose they are a team of professional programmers who actually do that for a living and their program is obviously very mature. In comparison I am just an ignorant musician who taught myself enough code to get by ;). These are some points that come to mind where I think Soft Arranger has an advantage: - It is free!!! - It doesn't deal with audio, only MIDI so it's much simpler and easier to use. - It is cross platform so it works the same on Windows and Mac. - It's just a single file and doesn't require installation so you could run it off a pen drive. - Styles are very easy to create although you can't use any existing styles like (Yamaha, Roland, Korg...). - You can also play midifiles and easily and jump to different parts of the song during playback. There are probably also other things but like I say I don't know VArranger very well. Within a month or so I should be able to produce a beta version and if you like I can let you know so you can try it out and give me some feedback. [/QUOTE]
