The following procedure (using Akai's MPC 2.8.1) is not working in Cakewalk by BandLab 26.02.0.039 due to an infinite application hang that doesn't occur with Sonar Platinum 23.10.0 Build 14 [2017.10] - x64
To reproduce:
Launch Cakewalk by BandLab
Open New Empty project
Load Akai MPC 2.8.1 as a VSTi
Click on an Expansion within the MPC Expansion browser (selection used here was Arrab Muzik Trap Soul), then select either the Program, Project or Sequence Filter below
From here, double-click any available Program, Project or Sequence (I selected a Sequence for this report)
(Note that double-clicking a Sequence Program, or Project should cause an auto-load to occur within the MPC, but in Cakewalk by BandLab this causes a global application hang) Correct loading is experienced when using Sonar Platinum
Persistent hang occurs when in Cakewalk by BandLab and does not produce a Minidump
