Hi Bruce I like this - really like the structure - however I am struggling to hear that 12 string - could be what I'm listening on - the mix does sound a tiny fraction light, if you know what I mean. But this is a really good track cool Nigel

Hi Larry Like that tuning. I think this sounds really good - agree with the comments re the Drums - personally any track I record, some of the longest time I spend is getting the Drums and Bass right and locked! Cool Nigel

Hi Wookie I just don't know how you keep coming up with all these invented titles!! Like this one as well, cool stuff as usual Nigel

Hi Martin - sounded good - I never got around to trying any of the Roli stuff before they went bust - shame as it looked interesting!! Nigel

Hi Lynn good to see you, been a while! Like the track - very well done. Love the Guitar in the intro and that change up at 1.18 keeps you guessing where next Cool stuff Nigel

Thanks for your reply ! 😀 I often need to add automation to tracks, but except for volume and expression, I don’t need the other ones. Instead, I mostly need CC2, CC8, and CC1, so I have to click MIDI at the bottom of the menu and then type the number I need. If I could edit this default list, I could add CC2, CC8, and CC1 to speed up my work. Regards,

The other day I received a reminder from some outfit called 'Paddle'* reminding me my annual Sonar subscription would be up for renewal this month on the 28th, payable via PayPal. I'm happy for that to take place. But it had used an email which I will not be able to use this time next year as the provider is phasing it out. Some months ago I told Bandlab this and my account there reflects my new email. They don't seem to have a mechanism for telling Paddle this.... I emailed Paddle 'support' who said they couldn't help but would pass my query on to Bandlab. But this morning I get an email from 'Ashwin' in Cakewalk saying 'I see that you've already cancelled your membership....' WHAT?? I have replied saying this is not the case, asking where on earth he got this information from. All this because I wanted to tell Paddle about my email change.... * Paddle bot conversation: "I did not cancel my subscription!" "Ok, one moment while I process your request." "It looks like this subscription has already been cancelled. It is no longer active. Rest assured this will not renew." Come on Cakewalk, this is a poor way to treat a customer of decades. I don't want to lose access to Sonar at the end of this month.

SFC found an repaired several files. DISM only says it completed successfully. During the wait I remembered we've had a couple of power outs/spikes that may have contributed some issues.

Yes mate, there have been several Windows updates to this Win 11 laptop since my first post, so it could well be that. I'll try my studio rig later on which is still on Win 10

Bjorn, Listening to your album on Amazon. Nice! -- Martin

DC power is a given for me and I never rely on USB power if there's an option. (The MOTU MIDI micro lite is USB only) Sorry I always forget the obvious required info - It's the hybrid which has firewire and installs the firewire driver (as noted), but my system has no firewire so never thought it would be an issue as disconnection should relate to USB. It'll take a few days to confirm tho. I originally installed the latest hybrid drivers as they are the only ones updated now. When the issue began, I tried going back to older drivers to verify or eliminate the driver. Since then I've reinstalled the newest ones but the issue remains, so I'm still leaning toward it being a Windows update. Doing that now. Thanks, will be checking those out too.

I don't use Coolsoft's VirtualMIDISynth or their MIDI Mapper, but I had the installers, installed them, and have been playing around with them both in Cakewalk software and Voltage Modular. I probably did a somewhat competent job of setting it up and even directed Windows Media Player to use the Virtual MIDI Synth to play a file [Canyon]. Several years ago when I thought I might get into creating modules for a virtual modular synth (Voltage Modular), I created a test button to list all of the MIDI Device my PC had--no functionality other than just listing MIDI devices. The button lists the VirtualMIDI Synth #1, CoolSoft MIDIMapper, Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, and Microsoft MIDI Mapper (all as receivers). As for functionality, I was able to create some very simple patches to send note data (and patch change commands) to both the MS GS Wavetable Synth and the Virtual MIDI Synth from my usb keyboard and a VM Step Sequencer. Unfortunately, due to latency issues sending MIDI data was less than ideal (or even practical for all intents and purposes). from VM's CV to MIDI module:

I interpret the documentation to mean the overall size of the VKB is determined by touch screen or no touch screen, not how many keys it shows. But I can't find anything beyond the help files on it. Speaking of suppositions or theories, I also think VKB coding is internal and relies on how Cakewalk interprets system video settings. Including how many octaves are shown.

https://pulse.audio/store/ Lots of free Kontakt instruments. This might be old news for some people, but it was new news to me. Just sort products from low to high to see the free stuff.

That's because bounce to clip produces one contiguous clip with one hotspot to open the specified view. If the end of the clip is offscreen, Sonar conveniently displays it at the far right of the clips pane so you always have access to it without having to zoom or scroll.

If the synth exposes a standard MIDI port as if it were a hardware device, or as if it were a midi loopback, then it should "get around" whatever it is in Sonar that disallows using windows' midi mapper. Or, if the synth can internally be set to connect to the output end of a midi loopback (like LoopMIDI, Hubi's, etc), then you can use the other end of the loopback to show up in Sonar as a normal "hardware" MIDI port, and then Sonar wouldn't know the difference and would just send midi data to it like any other midi port.
