Of the other DAWs mentioned, I do have Waveform Pro, and can confirm that the keyboard at the left of the piano roll in that DAW will enter notes in step mode. Although personally, I prefer using a MIDI controller rather than clicking in the piano roll. YMMV.

Yes, I would try that first. In my case, and many others, the uninstaller is not available. When that happens, your only recourse is to delete the library from the Windows registry in two places. That will cause Native Access to place the library back into "uninstalled" status. It will remain there because the serial has been registered to your NI account.

Ah! That's not the virtual keyboard you have pointed to with the question marks. I was attempting to address your earlier statement that "It would be very nice to be able to synchronize the keystrokes of the PC keyboard with the Piano Roll through the virtual keyboard." So, if you wish to enter notes directly into the piano roll it is done with the pencil tool and your mouse. You just click them into the grid. That keyboard on the left shows what notes are on what rows. If you have a virtual instrument inserted on that track, you will hear it play the pitch that you click with the pencil. The only way to enter notes on the piano roll from the actual virtual keyboard (where you have circled the letter "F") is with step record activated.

What you are asking for is a way to do it from a PC keyboard. There's a limitation of the PC keyboard, and the way MIDI works, not the piano roll software. MIDI as its most basic level requires a "note-on", followed by a "note-off" message in order to record the pitch and duration in real-time. MIDI controllers take care of this task automatically in real-time. The PC keyboard can only send a the first part, in step-time, so you need to pre-define the length of each note sent by the PC keyboard to effect the "note-off" piece, and/or edit the piano roll afterwards. Step recording with pre-set note lengths is the only way to do data entry into the piano roll from the PC keyboard. Do yourself a favor and get a real MIDI controller. All the best!

It takes a registry hack on Windows. Just did it this morning on a library that was getting the "Repair" option in Native Access, after I deleted the library content folder for it. This particular library had no Windows uninstaller, which I believe could taken care of the registry. So this is a method of last resort if you can't do an automatic uninstall from Windows. Now it shows up in the "Not installed" list in Native Access, as it should. Here is the step by step process: https://spitfireaudio.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009167093-How-to-remove-a-library-from-Native-Access-Windows-

Seeing all of these awesome icons on my desktop gives me a warm happy feeling. Until I ask myself, "which one today?" 🤣 My solution: Just open Analog Lab V and look for an inspiring sound. Then launch the full synth UI when you have something you want to tweak...

Yep, that $49 for a $499 library really made me look! Until I saw that it was being discontinued. And 2 of the 5 included libraries are not even compatible with Kontakt 6. There's probably a few gems in there, but I'd rather not spend my time cobbling a useful install together. Especially if one has some decent orchestral libs in hand. I already have Spitfire BBCSO Core, Soundiron Hyperion Strings Elements and Brass Elements, Kirk Hunter Kinetic Strings, Amadeus Symphonic Orchestra, and Miroslav Philmarmonic 2. So I really don't need more at this point, but that looked like it might have been a no-brainer deal! IMO, the big bang for the buck is getting Spitfire BBCSO Discover for free. Just have to sign up and wait 2 weeks for the license, or pay $49. I got it for free, and Spitfire eventually sent me a nice discount offer to upgrade to Core.

I didn't have V7, only Analog Lab V, but the additions to V8 instruments might make an upgrade worthwhile! Jun-6 V Emulator II V Vocoder V OB-Xa V Jup-8 V 4 Stage-73 V 2 Analog Lab V https://www.arturia.com/products/analog-classics/v-collection/overview#en

If you don't have any V Collection yet, that's a definite yes! If you have an older version, you will need to ask yourself if upgrading is worth it for the new instruments.

I think 50% off is the deepest I've ever seen Arturia go...

If one is no longer a Spring chicken, what does that make us? Summer, Fall, or Winter chickens? 🤣

Dream on! 😂

Well if you were sitting on the fence for the V Collection 8, now's the time! It's on sale for $279. Normal list is $499. I got V8 earlier this year for $249 on a loyalty upgrade deal. But if you haven't been offered that, this is probably as good as it gets. It's pretty cool!

Picked up my upgrade to Hyperion Strings Elements. Had a discount code in my pocket from my purchase of Hyperion Strings Micro last year, and was able to combine that with the latest sale price! Upgraded for $34.60.

You can do this with the step recording method. Any MIDI input device, including the virtual keyboard, can generate one step at a time on the MIDI track and piano roll. Each note that you play gets recorded, and then it pauses and waits for your next note. The step record dialog allows you to choose the step size by note length. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Recording.26.html

Now all we need is a Black Friday sale for Dune 3! Been waiting for this ... "We have updated DUNE 3 to version 3.5. This update adds a new patch browser"

Sitala loads fine here in Add Track with "Instrument Track Per Output" checked in Advanced. Running the latest CbB 2021.11, Build 018. All 16 track outputs show up, one for each pad in the kit.

It should be working. I guess it just doesn't like you! 😉

What instrument are you trying to add? Some only have one L/R output.

Sorry. Well then, support@soundpaint.com is probably the only way to fix it. Good luck!

I was just suggesting that the installer has a mind of its own at times, and may have dropped the folder into either "My Documents" on the C drive, or elsewhere, regardless of what you instructed it to do. That way my experience, FWIW. And once that happens, there are 2 problems. First, the installer won't try again, as it thinks its job is done. And second, the SoundPaint scanner cannot find a folder that is not defined yet. even though it may be somewhere on your PC. The support email is (and they seem quite responsive): support@soundpaint.com

Check your "My Documents" folder. The 1928 Piano originally landed there for me, and until I deleted it, I was unable to re-download to my target folder. The downloader seemed to think it was already installed, but SoundPaint wasn't looking in My Documents when I did a scan. Just another thing to check... good luck!

It depends on if you want to use Lesley exclusively within the AmpliTube ecosystem, or as an outboard plugin effect that you can use anywhere. I believe that they are basically the same, except the AmpliTube cabinet version is represented as a mono input to the AmpliTube mixer.
