Well which version is showing on your system?

This makes no mention of Workspaces, Pro Channel, Exporting

Synth Rack View is NOT on the official list of items not available in Free tier. (Neither are Workspace)

Talking heads - take me to the river

At least I can go to bed knowing that Cakewalk has somehow targeted people like me, who complained and had threads closed because of the OH SO POPULAR subscription without a perpetual option. OK I am ONLY KIDDING but for me, it's definitely to dive into Studio One and Reaper...............................

My observations: I am using Sonar and it has option for "Instrument Track". If you have installed TTS-1 from a previous legacy Sonar installation, it is still there in Sonar. I have never noticed it taking "a lot of work to take a midi file and set it up with the correct sounds". How long does it take you?

This has been addressed for the next update.

I too found this odd as well as a few of the cool things Next can do that Sonar can’t. like Stem Separation Drag a midi file to an empty project and it instantly populates the project with instrument tracks and pretty decent sounds. Sonar no longer includes the TTS-1 and it still uses midi tracks instead of instrument tracks. Sonar now requires a lot of work to just take a midi file and set it up with the correct sounds. Next does this in like 5 seconds. Sonar no longer has GM sounds or much of anything for instruments. Next has a lot and many are very good quality. Simple, but well done. I would imagine that they have some sort of plan to use these in Sonar someday. Working with audio loops is far easier. Even I figured it out how to make a drum track that plays at the correct tempo in a few minutes without reading the instructions.

The Internet connection message has been fixed for the next update. It was unintentional.

Here's a new song I've finally gotten close to wrapping up. We've all had songs that just fall together in a just a few days from conception to finish. Well, this ain't one of those. I know there are a few rough edges in there but this song kind of lends itself to having a few. Let me know what you think. Lyrics: stressful situation kwalsh - 4/25/2025 verse 1 you hear the echo of an empty room you feel the car as it bounces over your tomb gonna party like i'll never grow old spend the night in jail you never know I wanna be like those guys on tv dark black holes where my crying eyes should be chorus i guess im in a stressful situation i guess ill find out what im made of whats inside of me circumstances ran me down today gotta get my ***** away oh yeah its too much this stressful situation its all ive ever known verse 2 you think its okay but you know its a crutch you find the static of the world is just too much like a wire sparkin over your skin you think its stopped but it starts all over again i guess im in a stressful situation i guess ill find out what im made of whats inside of me circumstances ran me down today gotta get my ***** away oh yeah its too much this stressful situation its all ive ever known

Just found the answer,, You have to hold and drag the line above the " FX" and drag up to show all the plugins.

Try this. Open the Options menu at the top of the Console and make sure Allow Module Resizing is NOT checked.

IS there a way to show the full list of plugins per track in Console view in Free Sonar instead of scrolling thru each one?. Now you have to scroll thru to find and open the plugin you want unlike cakewalk by Bandlab version where it shows you all the plugins in console view..

Sorry, I am really tired. We used to be able to have rows of knobs that could be used to control parameters. But I am so tired and out of sorts from the heat and humidity, I can't find where they used to be. I am remembering them in the Synth Rack, but maybe in my overtired state I am misremembering how to access them and I can't find any forum pix I or others have posted. If you used those knobs assigned to synth params, you'd probably know what I mean. If you never used them, it probably makes no sense. From CbB Reference Guide: We could add a row at a time for knobs and assign params. I haven't used those param knobs in a while. I will try to see if the Free Tier has them tomorrow (assuming my mental abilities return).

The icon shaped like a gear will open the insert soft synth options window, the icon shaped like two horizontal lines labeled properties will open the synth you've selected in the synth rack and its controls, if I understand your question correctly.

But no knobs, right? (Sec, I am trying to find a picture)

The synth rack only shows the synths I have added to my project, but its tools icon opens the synth properties window.

Does it have all the controls/parameter settings. etc. or is it a bare minimum synth rack? (I was looking at it myself earlier, asking these same questions, but I'm fading fast from a long day,)

Maybe it's opening undocked and is hidden? The Keyboard shortcut for the synth rack view is alt+9 and that works for me, too. Does your browser open when you press b?

I have been doing that for many decades. I use it. But I restarted sonar 2X and still selecting with the mouse does NOT open it. The only one so far?

I rarely use the synth rack so I might be missing something, but I can open it from the Views menu.

OK I get it's free. I get no workspaces. But are we not allowed to view the synth rack? I truly hope I am just missing it.............I could handle that.

Do you think the AI that wrote the copy knows what 'disgusting' means? I don't see anything disgusting about the incident. Unfortunate. A little funny. Possibly painful, but nothing like getting poop thrown in your face by a bored orangutang.
