Each of the 4 pads are tied to a set group of instruments. Is there an assignment file or way to edit the sets so a sound from one pad can be reassigned to another pad?

+1 to this entire post, in the analog realm there is no way to "prompt jump" (step function) from point A to point B without some transition/smoothing effect, but in the digital realm you very much can. While individual components are often well modeled, their interaction may be lacking. This also leads into the traditional analog medium (magnetic tape), which adds more variables, with hysteresis being one of them. It is the interaction of all those variables that yields the analog result, so the more "piece parts" there are, the harder (or more complex) the modeling will be. Adding more variables onto the pile would be an amp sim accurately modeling a tube amp, especially with complex circuits... my Carvin XV 212 is one of the more complex ones, and LINE6 put a lot of effort into modeling it in their "Legendary Drive." Even though that has the highest CPU usage in HELIX/Native (not sure if that is still the case), it is not fully modeled nor 100% accurate, but as mentioned above, to the average user that will not be an issue/concern. If they never used the hardware, they will be none the wiser. This did give me a good chuckle though, thanks for that! When I slip up and let my sarcasm loose, I catch myself saying, "Congratulations, you Googled something... now you're an expert." from time to time.

Don’t worry about the Timing Master it should show 1/2. It has nothing to do with the outputs. That is just telling you that Sonar is indeed using the Motu for word clock. I don’t think it’s a great idea to use 3/4 for Windows playback. I have the M4. I can see using 3/4 to drive a headphone amp for studio use as a different cue mix for clients. But if it’s just for you that would be kinda weird. The best feature of the M4 is the Toggles for monitoring that are below each input. I consider the Motu to have the best monitoring system of any of my other 6 interfaces. The headphones using the supplied headphones jack are super loud and it has the mix control to dial in the balance between my input and my Daw playback. I love the ability to turn the monitor off for my Mike when I’m not using it so it’s not bleeding into my playback monitors or headphones. Most interfaces require that you have to turn them all the way down. Now you’ve lost your settings. Anyway unless you’re using the headphone amp for other people I highly recommend you just use the supplied headphone Jack and learn how to operate it using the Monitor button and the Mix control.

I just Googled it and it took me to a Legacy Cakewalk announcement page from June 26 2007. Introducing Studio Instrument Cakewalk, the world's leading developer of powerful and easy to use products for music creation and recording, today releases Cakewalk Studio Instruments, the first easy-to-use and affordable consumer software instrument collection for Mac and PC. Cakewalk Studio Instruments has an estimated street price of $49.99. Cakewalk Studio Instruments is the first dual platform Virtual Instrument collection to be released to the consumer electronics market. Cakewalk Studio instruments provides a high quality Drum Kit, Bass Guitar, Electric Piano, and String Section that can be played stand alone or can compliment popular consumer music software titles such as Cakewalk Music Creator, Apple Garage Band, Magix Music Maker, and SONY ACID Music Studio. Cakewalk has 20 years of experience in designing powerful and easy-to-use audio and MIDI software for musicians at all levels. With Studio Instruments, Cakewalk introduces a virtual instrument collection that is accessible to anyone, not just musicians, through its photo-realistic, animated, and interactive user interface. With point and click ease and professionally recorded patterns, Studio Instruments delivers a simple and fun way for all to make music. And best of all, Cakewalk Studio Instruments sounds amazing because it's driven by Expression Engine, the same industry leading technology found in Cakewalk's professional line of instruments, including the critically acclaimed Dimension pro.

Well I Googled it and that was what it said. Im finding more and more errors in asking Google now because it is using the AI. At least Wikipedia was more accurate. Example when I asked Google who collaborated with Cakewalk to create Session Drummer it answered “XLN Audio created Session Drummer for Cakewalk in 2006. The correct answer is Smart Loops. I’ll look again.!

When you create post/reply in the toolbar at the top of the input form is an icon that looks like a chain link. You can highlight a word or phrase and embed it there. If you paste a link to a YT vid, scroll down just a bit and there will be a button that says <insert> (IIRC). Edit: Delete everything before the <https...> and after <dGH...> and try that.

Windows 11 is a fine DAW platform. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. Obviously it needs to be tweaked for maximum DAW performance. Same as it was back when we ran Windows for Workgroups... and running the original version of S.A.W. (Software Audio Workshop written by Bob Lentini). If you watch TV/Film, a good portion of the music you're hearing was produced with a PC. If you want a Mac, run a Mac. If you want the fastest machine available, multiple internal M.2 SSDs full speed (I use six internal M.2 drives), fast video for running something like Davinci Resolve: Custom PC running an AMD 9950x or Intel Core Ultra 9 285k will smoke the fastest Mac Studio. I have the fastest Mac Studio currently available. Bought it to support clients and to run Lightkey (DMX Lighting software that closely integrates with Ableton Live) that's Mac only. YouTube is great in many ways... but there's a million and one "experts" (and followers) that pass along biased, incorrect, or incomplete information. Remember the video claiming nearly ALL (near 100%) Intel 13th Gen CPUs were defective? Yeah, the failure rate was higher than previous generations... but nowhere near 100%. Out of scores of machines, I had to replace three 13900k CPUs (zero 14th Gen or 15th Gen). Hyperbole generates clicks. Of late, I've been watching loads of keyboard review/tutorial videos (Kronos 3, Montage M, Fantom EX, K2700, V-Stage, Stage 4, etc). Always looking to improve my live rig. Some are extremely helpful (Anthony Marinelli, Jim Daneker, Starsky Carr, etc)... while others are full of incorrect/incomplete sometimes obviously biased information. Many times, comments from viewers are far worse than the actual video. One recent comment stated that since Nautilus is essentially just a PC (running Linux), that it was completely unstable/unreliable (known/proven to crash often). Nautilus has its weaker points (not one of my favorite keyboards)... but I never encountered any type of instability. The UI... that's another conversation.

I used a method that I don't know whether it's reasonable or not, that is to send the 12 of the main line to 34
