... it took six years to happen.

The Korg Oasis is about the only device I know of that actually gets updated and expanded...

One simple bit of software that would make the VariOS a "new" machine again:
- take the FX from V-Producer and rout the line in through these.

<t>to try and answer a few of these in one go:<br/> <br/> - V-synth and VariOS share same processor.<br/> - I remember mr roland US (is his name Alan) saying the two VariOS emulations are earlier than the v-synth software version so the ones included with V-synth will sound better.<br/> - makes sens...

Robbie if your still looking for this the actual readme file for the upgrade will have info on how to tell the version...

<t>It's a task most people only do once so we've all forgotten how. There's plenty of instructions around for upgrading to 1.07 etc... as far as I can tell and have seen from my own fiddling the system will just copy the version it's given. It literally just copies the whole thing to memory replacin...

I don't think anyone's going to remember fo the top of the head...

Manual?

or you could browse the "Menu" ...

Mac or PC?

do a Google search if it's MAC if PC let me know and I'll try and stick it up somewhere.

search this forum.
Im sure someone had this problem and sorted it out.

<t>One trick is (if your a windows user) is to install 2.5 to a folder i.e. during the install change the location for say "c:\program files\Roland\V Producer 2_5" then install version 3 to ""c:\program files\Roland\V Producer 3" It will go through the motions of removing 2.51 but it will still run....

<t>1). no additional cards.<br/> 2). The VC`1 is a D50 - find some examples somewhere and have a listen. I find it a great work horse with an instantly familiar sound. Oh and if a friend ropes you into making a backing track for singing at a wedding it has more paddy pop love than you could ever nee...

So did you get it working?

<t>It's been a while since I set up Cubase (I use Tracktion 2 now.)<br/> <br/> I found a simple way was to add a midi track outputting to the VariOS midi SYNC track. Don't send midi notes here - it's just a sync track.<br/> <br/> I think MTC is best to send to the VariOS as it will track back and fo...

It would take ten minutes for them to make a version of the VC-2 for example into a form that could be added to the RAM of a unit- exactly the same as the XT.

Excellent idea.

<t>The manual probably isn't as clear on this as it should be...<br/> <br/> To boot either from VariOS memory<br/> <br/> turn varios off.<br/> remove any PC cards/SD cards etc<br/> Locate the menu buttons on the front panel and the jog select/button knob.<br/> Hold all three of these down, keep held...

there are a lot of cards out there which are multiple voltage types so just grab a card which is compatible with mulitple formats if your confused.
