8.8 -> 8.9, 8.10, 8.11 ... K1 lasted 3 years, K2, K3, and K4 lasted 2 years, K5 lasted 7 years. K6 lasted 4 years. K7 lasted 2 years. K8 was only released a year ago so I wouldn't expect the next version soon.

I have been holding off on my Komplete upgrades, but if the next one has a new version of Kontakt and Absynth 6 then that might just be the motivation I need 🤣

Still like to know how some users are getting 5 octaves when most only get 3.

Couple more days! If the upgrade price is reasonable, I'll probably snag it, otherwise guess I'll upgrade my Komplete 13 to 16 at some point. 🤪

Not a deal.. Yet.. but awesome: Native Instruments - Absynth 6 https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=625347

Absolutely. Fun to hear on the side those original, vintage FM sounds, very close to some Tomita masterpieces.

Read those updates thoroughly. If you still like using Kontakt 6 some of your libraries won't open.

They price their plugins at 299 Still trying to avoid hoarding free plugins - I rarely download most of them. If i do they go on a storage drive. It seems you can't download directly without their app. This is the one they starts with Windows. It makes sense if you have their hardware. Their Volt 1 is one sale for $139 - I thought about this interface at one time.

Thank you! Sorry for late response, never got notified.

But is there a difference? Which one is correct or are both ok? 1) Insert Superior Drummer as a synth...check the box "stereo outputs". This will create new tracks. My SD preset already has multiout in the SD3 mixer. or 2) Create a new bus. Then create multiple tracks and tick the box to assign them to the drum bus. This will also create new tracks for SD. The only difference is that it looks like this: The left solution is 2) .... the right solution is 1) I tested both...solution 1) works, too...but it lists SD 1, SD2, SD3, SD4 etc. till SD16 while the other solution has S1/2 L, S1/2 R, S1/2 S...so every multiout in mono and stereo. Which one is better?

Happy to help Marc and glad you got it sorted It can be a bit GAS and sale overload at this time of year.. there were some free samples the other day at another site and it was so horrible on mobile that I decided even if the samples were good, I couldn't be bothered thinking about it!

Grumble grumble, while Vegas 22 would be an upgrade, I already have that version of Sound Forge Pro. Pondering whether a single digit upgrade of Vegas is worth $45. Any Vegas users help me out as to whether it's worth it? I've never clicked with Movie Studio or Music Maker.

Thanks. I managed to reinstall Sonar, and after an audio interface re-install, all seems well now. (The audio interface drivers seem to cause me issues). Much appreciated.

I have nothing to add except good luck.

Maybe your Cakewalk downloads folder contains your older installers. %USERPROFILE%\downloads\Cakewalk An installer you are after will be over 340 meg. Any installer with a filesize of around 64meg will need a previous version of Sonar installed to update from. I am going to assume you are using version 1.1.0.004 of the Cakewalk Project Centre

Remove the word Simple. It’s exactly the same thing as the split with the addition of it can also have midi data in the same track. Is this all a misunderstanding of what the ( simple) Instrument Track is? What does multiple audio outputs have to do with this. That’s a function of the VST which can exist in both types of instrument tracks. As well as both types can be fed by as many midi tracks as possible. I do this a lot.

If you have multiple MIDI tracks feeding one synth or multiple audio tracks being fed by one synth (one output of the synth or many), the concept of "a" Simple Instrument Track is meaningless.

hi I'm writing to report a bug (which I assume is only graphical) in the new version of LP EQ. When I switch to mid/side, select an edit point, and change it, when I close and reopen the plugin window, it no longer shows mid or side but left/right. I've attached a video of the problem. Thank you very much.

But what Im saying is that in the case of both the examples above, there would be no difference if the instrument track was a split or a simple? Both can receive midi data from any midi track. They can also receive data from the output of another instrument if it is set to output midi data. Say you woke up one day and the latest update simply removed the option for the split instrument. All existing split instruments would open now as simple instrument tracks and because the icon is the same you would not even notice any difference. ?? Yes?

I do have them...but it seems I can get the same result by two approaches.

I can't explain why without "going there" but I do believe there is a process in the works to, uh, undo the halt that was previously implemented. It wasn't an overnight process to rebuild our buffer so to speak, but it has started. And by the time it gets fixed, a different idiot will move in and undo it again. I've lost faith in all of them to be honest. I no longer support one or the other. I just want to be left alone to live out my few remaining years in peace 'cause there ain't a darn thing I can do about any of it. I'm really sick to my stomach over this memory thing. It literally happened overnight while I was busy working and didn't have time to watch. But it wouldn't have mattered anyway. It literally happened overnight, not gradually. At least from what I've read. I have a spreadsheet I created months ago when I finally decided which parts I was going to go with. $1305 for the fastest pc you can build. I don't know if Amazon screwed up, but I got a steal on the cpu and I've never seen it that low again. I should have bought 10 and resold them on ebay. Because of the memory, my great deal DIY build went up to almost $2300. I didn't listen back in June when everyone said there is something coming and ram prices would skyrocket and nothing would be available. Yeah, I could have built a less powerful pc, but at the time the deal was so unbelievable on the cpu, I built the system around that never dreaming this would happen. Anyway, it's all been purchased. All I'm waiting for is the RAM and case, which I got screwed on too. It says in the specs that the case supports a 360mm top mount aio and bays for 5.25 drives which I have to have, but what it didn't say was they both couldn't be installed at the same time. The only case that allows both at the same time that I could find, and I had to use AI to help, is $450. I'll leave the freaking sata wires and power supply wires hanging out the side with the drive dangling there before they suck another penny out of me for this garbage. Lol. Btw, that price does not include a video card. I'll be using my old 3060 which everyone tells me will bottleneck on my cpu and run worse than it does in my current system. I'm going to have to wait until the vram price hike hits before I can even think about a new gpu.

I use both depending on context: - If it's an, ahem, simple part, I'll use a Simple Instrument Track just to save screen space, as it's unlikely I need quick access to all MIDI parameters - If it's an instrument with multiple outputs, I'll probably use split tracks for consistency across the (audio) tracks - If it's a drum synth (likely with multiple audio outs anyway), I'll probably use one track per kit piece (or pieces like all Toms); before anyone says "Drum Maps", I know about them, but I may want to apply a different MIDI FX to the different kit pieces (laziness for randomisation purposes, for example) - One particular example was where I wanted to use the built-in arpeggiator but change patterns (or, I think, not have the notes arpeggiated for part of the project, and I was seeing unexpected behaviour with the enable/disable switch) so I put each different arpeggiator on a different MIDI track, both pointing to the same synth (everything audio needed to be the same for both parts).

Uninstalled latest version of Sonar. (Would not shut down and was crashing). Now, when I pull up the Product Center to reinstall, it says 'Installer requires Cakewalk Sonar version 2025.09' I cannot find this file? Help? Ideas? Thank you.

I think the key element you are overlooking is that the drum channels in Superior Drummer 3 have to be assigned to different output channels if you want to use them on separate tracks in Sonar, or any other DAW. I can't find anything Superior Drummer 3 that is Sonar specific on YouTube but here is a related video on setting up Superior Drummer 3 output channels in a different DAW. I have it set so the video starts where he's assigning the drum channels to different OUTPUT channels, and that is the most important thing to understand before you can go any further. https://youtu.be/Yv7J6o4fY_w?si=-DMjJb20g1NV7EA4&t=412
