Here's a practical scenario in support of the above request:

1. I have a E-MU soft synth, such as the free Proteus-VX.

2. I want to play a Tyros style and I don't want to tweak it.

3. So, in Proteus, I select my drum kit on ch-10, a bass for ch-11, a Piano for
ch-12, and so forth through ch-16.

4. Then in OMB, I have it so it BLOCKS patch changes.

5. Then I can play any XG style and there will always be an instrument, one that
I find suits most styles I play. And if an instrument or drum kit does not fit,
I can always change them in Proteus by whatever means that itself allows, either
mouse, or hardware push buttons.

6. Now, I can set Proteus to "Don't receive patch changes"...But if I do that,
then I can not send patch changes to channel-1 via hardware buttons, so that I
am stuck to playing melody also in a fixed voice. So it is best if OMB have the
option to BLOCK Patch changes, and it might as well have an option to block
volume changes for each channel..Now, velocity changes, those should not be
blocked.

ANOTHER BIG REASON is, of course, that this request checks also very well where
one is setting a VSTi for each channel...In that case, why send a program change
when we are setting voices manually and a Program-Change may want to change it
or even change it?

Thanks again.

Yes, this relates to the "phosophy" that Yamaha arrangers are of course based on
XG voices.

Now Jos has given people the option to use GM synths, whichi is great.

But now, my request is basically give us the option to play CUSTOM synths by
allowing the blocking or program-change and also volume-change block.

I believe this would open market for OMB because, we need to face reality: Many
musicians do not use General MIDI sound sets...And, as far as XG synths, even
Yamaha seems to be moving away from that.

Most computer musicians use high quality sample based instruments and GM is not
a practical reality there...And most don't know what "XG" is.

And tweaking styles can be a career of itself.

Thanks again.

Hello
I'm a OMB Essentials for Mac
I would to use AZERTY keyboard for changing part. Only QWERTY is possible.
I would like to use a Midi foot controler.

In Window Style "Datas" button. I would like to report all track infos to the

I am trying to use OMB with a Roland FR-7 electronic accordion. The FR-7
provides a pedal unit that can be configured to send the following signals to
control electronic arrangers, like the Ketron SD3: Start/Stop, Intro, Fill Up,
Fill Down, and Ending. Unfortunately, these control signals do not seem to work
in OMB, either the "Originals" version or the "Essentials" version. Is there an
incompatibility between the protocols of the Roland FR-7 and OMB? Has anyone
gotten this to work?

In One Man Band Originals, go to menu Setings/KeyboardControl and press View
MIDI IN. Now activate one of the pedals and see what MIDI message is displayed.
If the pedal does not produce a MIDI message then you can't use it. If there is
a MIDI message then select the Variation (left side of the Keyboard Control
window) and choose the corresponding MIDI message (labeled MIDI message below
the variations list).

You are able to use a MIDI foot controller in the current version of Essentials,
provided it does send MIDI messages to the computer.

For the moment, rearrange the assignment of the keyboard keys in such way that
the QWAZ keys are not used.

Thank you very much for your response, which has helped me. I did find the MIDI
IN window and I confirmed that my pedal unit is producing a message, after
configuring my accordion to do so, of course. The message is reported in the
window as:

(1(UM-3G(1))) Ch: 10 Patchnumber 80.

I suppose the next step is to configure the software to respond to that message
to accomplish what I want, which is to switch to the next higher variation of
the accompaniment pattern, hopefully with a fill-in.

You said:"select the Variation (left side of the Keyborad Control window) and
choose the corresponding MIDI message (labeled MIDI messabe below the variations
list)"

In the interests of helping anyone else trying to accomplish the same thing, let
me embellish your instructions a bit.

In the "Keyboard Control Functions" window, go to the area in the TOP RIGHT
called "Functions triggered by keys, controllers, and patches"

In the "MIDI device for functions" selection area, enter the appropriate source
of the signal. In my case it was: 1(UM-3G(1)), which corresponds to the MIDI
interface unit on my computer to which my accordion is connected.

There is a "Interval Time" selection with a default of 1000 msec. I left this as
is. I do not know its purpose.

Below the "Interval Time" is a list of variations. In my case, I picked "Higher
Variation".

In the "MIDI Message" selection area I picked p080, which I guessed corresponded
to "Patchnumber 80" as reported in the MIDI IN window earlier. No it isn't
obvious.

In the "Channel" selection area I picked "10", because that is the channel
reported in the MIDI IN window earlier.

That's it. It now worked. However, it does not include a nice fill-in when
transitioning from one variation to another as I was hoping. Oh well. Never
mind. At least I got something working.

Thank you for your help.

To switch to another variation with a fill-in select e.g. Fill In B instead of
Main B.

Is there a way to change a style from 4/4 to 3/4?  I am using OMB 10.2.1

Thanks.

Click on the TimeSign in the StyleMaker window.

Thanks.  I did that and it put my arrangement into 3/4, but I guess I need to
edit the style, because it was still in 4/4.  You could tell that the 4th beat
of the style was beat 1 in the second measure.

Is there a good style editor for this?

Thanks again.

Hi folks,

Nice to come back again after a while. I currently have OMB 10.0 and when I try
to import exported tracks from other styles, the program suddendly crashes. Is
this fixed in later versions? Thanks!

Hi Jos,
Thank you for such great program. I would like to upgrade to V10.3. Please
advise. Thanks!

I am so glad you mentioned this one. This is the exact soft synth I am using. I
can't believe it is offered free from EMU. THe best free soft synth ever!
But, do you have by any chance, configured any drumkits to match GM setup? I
can't figure this one out. Thanks in advance.

Hello Jos,

It is so awesome to see you still giving people great customer service from your
products.
I would like to have the left hand sound and option for it to hold. I used to
have the Korg I30 interactive workstation and when playing a style, I would love
it when the left hand sound would hold, specially when playing strings, or pads
etc. I don't remember how it worked when playing a piano, but it would be a nice
option Jos.

Also,

Is there any possibility to have OMB integrate into a DAW as a VSTi?

Like the EMU Proteus VX soft synth, or Jamstix virtual drummer, it can be stand
alone or played via a host like Ableton live or cubase. This way, one can save
the settings and all with the project of the host. It would really help a lot.
Just an idea. Thanks!

Hi Rikki,

I have been using OMB 10.0 lately and while now my PC can handle more tracks and
stuff, when I try to import tracks in OMB in the style editor OMB crashes to
desktop. Completely. No matter how many times I try or if I use other styles, it
crashes all the time as I try to import a track from another style. Does this
happen to you?

Thanks,

Musikman

Hi Bogdan,

Most Yamaha styles have CMaj7 as sourcechord. That consists of the notes
C-E-G-B. While playing the fourth note of the source chord (in this case B) is
transposed to the fourth note of the chord being played. But that can only
happen if there are B notes in he track. So to be able to hear the difference
between e.g Dm and a Dm7 you may need to change a few notes in the track to the
4th note of the source chords or add same notes.

Good luck,
Jos

Ajay,

It's not interesting what happens in version 8.0.
Try the demo of 10.3, it's probably fixed there.

Some of the styles in the latest Yamaha keyboards are incompatible with the
original Yamaha Style format. Track specifications identified internaly by a
"Ctab" marker have a "Ctb2" marker instead. Older keyboards and software are not
able to load these styles. One Man Band 10.3 has a fix for this. It reads the
styles with the Ctb2 markers but writes them with Ctab markers.

I Assume this is releated to the problem you have that neither omb8 nor DGX can
load the styles from the S550. So therefor check if you can load the styles in
omb10.3 and are able to play them correctly in omb10.3.

Styles saved in omb will always play on any Yamaha arranger keyboard.

Rename the style that can't load in omb from .sty to .mid and try to load and
play it in Windows Media Player. If it plays then upload it to the files section
of this forum.
