Poderia dar mais detalhes...?

This is why I am glad I still have a working GM/XG card in a 2nd PC. I use Sonar in my main PC to send MIDI to this 2nd PC via a Roland USB to MIDI adapter. Yes, some of my clients still require GM files for their gear.

MIDI is alive and well. The MIDI 2.0 standard was unveiled on January 17, 2020, at the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. Microsoft's first major update to MIDI in more than 40 years is finally here. It's called Windows MIDI Services, and it features MIDI 2.0.

Are you drawing the notes in and having them end up in the wrong place? Or do you have a clip that you are editing? If you are editing a clip, are the notes in it different than what you see in PRV? Are you using the song key map to tell it to change from the key that it was already in? Or something else? More specific details are necessary to find out if what you are seeing is normal or not, and if not, how you might correct it.

Well, of course it is semantics. "Theme Editor" has a very specific meaning, given that we already have an understanding of what a "Theme Editor" would be expected to look and function like, thanks to the precedent set by the existing Cakewalk by Bandlab Theme Editor. Knowing that the coming "color customization" feature cannot possibly match those features is exactly why we shouldn't use the term "Theme Editor" for it, in my opinion. Of course I'm looking forward to the color customizations in later versions of Sonar, but also be mindful of how we refer to them.

Others have said this. I wish I could have ignored this but since I had some FB settlement money in Paypal I went and bought it.

They'll drop is no one is buying. I have no desire to build a new system.

I picked up the plugin even though I could probably do with a little less drama in my life right now.

I worked 15+ hours! Yay. 🙄

This is in the quote: "new color theme customization capabilities." I think we are talking about semantics here. The Bakers know what is wanted. Either we can make changes to get colors and contrasts that are desired for a better workflow, or we can't. At this point, I trust the Bakers. I have been with them for a long journey! And the fact that they are not rushing it, is also a good sign imho. BTW, even a so-called "theme editor" as a title, does not mean all elements of a theme can be edited.

Hi. i have a problem, i'm set key in Eb with Eb Bb and Ab. but in piano it's show G# not Ab . how can i fix it.Thanks.

Agree with KSband. Great feel to the music.

I had ChatGPT help me write this CAL script to convert drum loop MIDI files from the general midi (GM) map to the addictive drums 2 (AD2). I hope it helps anyone else looking to do the same thing. Here is the code in case you want to see it. ; GM_to_AD2_if_chain.cal ; Minimal GM -> AD2 remapper using core CAL syntax only. (do ; --- duplicate-collision tracker for 1-tick nudge (optional) --- (int lastTime) (int lastNote) (int lastChan) lastTime -999999) lastNote -1) lastChan -1) (forEachEvent (if (== Event.Kind NOTE) (do ; ---- REMAP CHAIN ---- Note.Key (if (== Note.Key 46) 54 ; Open Hi-Hat (if (== Note.Key 42) 49 ; Closed Hi-Hat (if (== Note.Key 44) 48 ; Pedal Hi-Hat (if (== Note.Key 36) 36 ; Kick (if (== Note.Key 38) 38 ; Snare (center) - unchanged (if (== Note.Key 37) 42 ; Rimshot / SideStick (if (== Note.Key 40) 41 ; Snare (rim) (if (== Note.Key 48) 71 ; Tom 1 (High) (if (== Note.Key 47) 69 ; Tom 2 (if (== Note.Key 45) 67 ; Tom 3 (Low) (if (== Note.Key 43) 65 ; Tom 4 (Floor) (if (== Note.Key 49) 77 ; Crash 1 (if (== Note.Key 57) 79 ; Crash 2 (if (== Note.Key 55) 81 ; Splash (if (== Note.Key 52) 89 ; China (if (== Note.Key 51) 60 ; Ride (if (== Note.Key 59) 84 ; Ride 2 (if (== Note.Key 53) 61 ; Ride Bell (if (== Note.Key 39) 41 ; Hand Clap Note.Key ; else: leave unchanged ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ; ---- 1-tick nudge if exact duplicate lands on same tick & channel ---- (if (== Event.Time lastTime) (if (== Note.Key lastNote) (if (== Event.Chan lastChan) Event.Time (+ Event.Time 1)) ) ) ) lastTime Event.Time) lastNote Note.Key) lastChan Event.Chan) ) ) ) ) Drums GM to AD2.CAL

I wonder if they're using (like many companies) a poorly-trained AI for support tasks? Or maybe it is just a poorly-trained human.

What happens with any loop when dropped into a project depends on what the loop creator actually set within the file. There are some loopmakers that set the flags for all the proper things, and even include marker data so when you drop it in there are markers automagically placed in the timeline. Most don't seem to set all the flags, and some don't even set the loop flag nor include the tempo data, forcing the user to do this for each file. Some of them don't seem to have the beats info even though looping is enabled, and Sonar sometimes guesses wrong on how many so it plays twice or half as fast as it should. And it seems to be hit or miss with some loopmakers where some of their stuff has some things, and some has others, and none of it has everything. So I long ago got used to just checking the looping properties of everything as I drop them one at a time into a project, by pressing Alt-Enter on each clip as I go, and no longer pay attention to what was already set right, so I don't know which makers do it right or not.

Here's one thread from August. There have been others both before and after. I can usually find the ones I contributed to faster than I can search the whole forum. I don't always guess the best keyword right away. Maybe try "TTSNOTE?"

I got a mic parts mic. https://microphone-parts.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop7lLPsepXKdhrktYgsltt1-6gTNyT1H3l5tWrZpzt9SLQVZUoY

I use EWQLSO in Opus...a lot more than Hollywood Orchestra. Depends on what your working on, EWQLSO is for more traditional classical use and the Hollywood Orchestra is for more bombastic stuff such as soundtrack work. They're both good libraries, check them out! I paid a fortune for EWQLSO Platinum when it came out

Very nice playing!

Okay this thread needs a reality check. There is no promise of a full-featured "Theme Editor" coming any time soon. We have, however, been given the following: "color theme customization capabilities" could refer to many things, any of which are not near the functionality of a "theme editor".

I’ve heard that you need to have the correct font installed on your computer. There was a post about this just recently you might want to look for it.

Apparently, Drywater, Mars has infected my brain thoroughly; it's gone beyond just a few music tracks and now I'm buildng the universe and want to write the stories, then make webisodes for them. A thread for the development of the ideas, if anyone is willing to help out: https://cff.ssw.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=106959#p106959

Yes for sure. I still have my hardware collection. Including the original Roland SC 55.

I've been fiddling with this one for months. Lots of things in it I am not happy with but can't seem to get it right. Maybe someone could offer a suggestion that will create an epiphany for me and help me on my way. All comments welcome. https://soundclick.com/song/15155752
