I have now played a little with the "V-Combo SYNTH for the VR" Editor, and WOW WOW WOW!!!! I feel like a little kid in a candy store, with unlimited money!!! I did not test every function in the editor (I don't even know what all the buttons / sliders / dials do!) but I just had a couple of hours of fun, playing and exploring and thoroughly loving the new sounds coming out of the VR-09!!!! I have run out of superlatives to describe both the editors, but I am ecstatically thrilled with 1.12(8) and the "V-Combo SYNTH"!!!!!

Thank you so much Franky. I have downloaded "V-Combo SYNTH" for the VR and will test it when I get a chance... P.S. I sent you a PM

3 words to describe V-Combo SYNTH for the VR: PHEN OMEN ALL! Franky, you should work for Roland!

Another observation I made with my VR-09 last week: I do NOT like the default Organ sound than the VR-09 starts up with. To my ears, it sounds like a scratchy volume control / crackling like a bad circuit, and I've determined that there is just a little of the Distortion effect running. Turn the Distortion all the way down, and it is crystal-clear! Now the point is that I wanted to save the default Organ sound, so it always starts up crystal-clear (and prevents hy heart from stopping every time I start it and hear the crackling), but alas, even when saving organ settings to Registrations, the original organ sound remains in the Organ section, and the settings are not updated. But ALL the settings for the Organ (including Effects, Twin Rotary, Key Click, Leakage and even the Drawbar settings) are successfully saved as part of a Registration! So this point remains: Organ sounds do NOT suffer the same problems as the Synthesizer sounds!

Hi Franky I just created a username to reply to your request... I have an original VR-09 which I have upgraded to version 1.12. I am using your CTLR VR-09 Editor to edit synthesizer sounds. I have edited the original "JP8 Brass" as you suggested, and merely changed the Pitch Envelope (which has an obvious effect on the sound). I saved the sound to a Registration, and switched off the VR-09. I then restarted the VR-09 and I can confirm that it definitely DOES update/overwrite the ORIGINAL MASTER sound for "JP8 Brass"!!!! I tried to restore the original "JP8 Brass" sound, by saving/updating/overwriting a different unmodified, factory sound to the same registration number, but the modified "JP8 Brass" remained under the "Synth" area! I also tried switching off and switching on the VR-09 a number of times, but the sound remains changed! Fortunately, I only changed 1 setting, so I repeated all the steps above (edit/Re-set Envelope to original Settings, save to Registration, Switch Off), and it updated/overwrote the modified "JP8 Brass" under "Synth" area to it's original settings. I am extremely surprised and totally disappointed with these findings, because I was convinced that it is impossible to update/overwrite any original master sound (which I thought were "read-only".) But was I wrong!!!! :-o
