    Indeed, a while back I was a bit of a snob I think. I wanted to have the third party stuff, because it had to be better right? Well no. It may be better in a certain particular situation, sure. But I find myself grabbing the stock stuff more and more. And with Suite, I'm sure I haven't even scratched the surface.

    Not to mention the sound libraries that are included (+70GB). Even Spitfire stuff.

    There's AAS stuff in there too!

    That being said, the combination of Chordjam and Cakewalk crashed once so hard that Cakewalk wouldn't recognize one of my MIDI keyboards anymore afterwards. It was a pain in the ### to make Cakewalk accept input from it again. 😮

    https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/900005995966-How-do-I-submit-a-crash-or-bug-report-

  3. The Chordjam User Manual shows routing for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Bitwig, Reaper, Pro Tools, Studio One, & FL Studio.

    No mention of Cakewalk... not that unusual as some developers seem to overlook Cakewalk. Probably need to get the attention of Audiomodern support.

    And it might help things along if you also sent the bug report to Cakewalk Support.

    @abacab Thanks! My bad, the option was set to hide VST2 if VST3 is available. Interesting though, Scaler's VST2 was still there.

    Anyway, in a short test VST2 showed the same (non-)result as VST3 😞

    The VST3 replacement feature is only available if the developer sets the proper "flag" in the plugin. Some brands do not have that enabled, and so you will continue to see both VST2 and VST3 for them regardless of the host's plugin settings.

    Sorry to hear that the VST2 version has the same issue. You will probably need to contact Cakewalk support as well as the plugin developer. I'm guessing that the developer probably did not test it with this DAW, and a plugin incompatibility issue like this could be caused by either party.

    Plugin to host interface issues come up now and then because the plugin standards are not always "standard". Typically they cause crashes, but non-functional user interfaces can also be a problem that varies DAW by DAW.

    3rd period

    Never has a man influenced physics so profoundly as Niels Bohr in the early 1900's.
    Going back to this time period, little was known about atomic structure; Bohr set out
    to end the obscurity of physics. However, things didn't come easy for Bohr. He had to
    give up most of his life for physics and research of many hypothesis. But, this is why
    you and I have even heard of the quantum theory and atomic structures. Bohr came
    up with his quantum theory while studying at Cambridge. Bohr was a skeptic and he
    never truly believed in Max Planck's old quantum theory. He put forth the idea that,
    going from one high-energy orbit to a lower one, an electron could, in fact, be trying
    to emit a quantum of discrete energy. Bohr was criticized for this idea, but he didn't
    let up. Soon after, Bohr said his famed quote. "If quantum mechanics hasn't shocked
    you, you haven't understood it yet." This quote is extremely famous and has gone
    down as the motto for quantum physicist around the world. Understandably, Bohr
    never won a Nobel prize outside of physics (of which he only won one). Bohr's still
    going strong with his theories on atomic structure; he allowed for 100's of scientists
    to fully experiment with the cell and its many components. Bohr was largely on the
    run from the *****'s when he came up with this which is amazing because
    around this time, Bohr's home country of Denmark was invaded by the *****'s. Bohr
    and Ernest Rutherford are given credit, but it is believed that Rutherford decided to
    desert Bohr in the middle of their work. Rutherford once, quite famously said that
    you should never bet against the wonders of science. Niels Bohr's famous career
    never really kicked off until he was forty years old. Most other major scientists were
    going all over the world with their ideas by their early twenties. However, in order
    to preserve the legacy of Niels Bohr, he has his own institution, whose goal is to
    make many more great strides in the field of physics for years. How did Bohr affect
    you and me? Without Niels Bohr's more advanced atomic theory, we might as well
    cry over how little we know of the atoms and their compounds. Physics would have
    never been such a force in the today's society. However, to this day, research is still
    going on to improve and update the atomic theory. Although scientists clearly want
    to improve on Bohr's theory, many famous physicists come out publicly and openly
    say that Bohr's ideas will never be improved upon, today's society cannot say
    goodbye to an opportunity to improve our understanding of the sciences. If Bohr
    never had silenced his critics, we would still be following Planck's theories, and
    going on incomplete information. Bohr's later life was all occupied when he decided
    to go back to Denmark and head the Royal Danish Academy. His main goal was to
    tell the world of the of the greatness of the Danish Sciences and most likely educate
    a new crop of scientists for years to come. There is controversy surrounding Bohr's
    life during his stint in the Manhattan project. Though he claimed to be anti-violence
    and a peace seeker, Bohr engineered on the Manhattan Project. Though he didn't
    hurt anyone directly, thousands of people died. Neils Bohr opened many doors for
    you and I in the physics world, he will go down as one of the greatest physicists.

    I was just looking at the Kontakt Player manual and choosing either Player or Komplete Start (which includes the player).  Considering that my workflow is so ingrained with the E-Mu experience (hardware more so, software to a lesser extent) it seems like I would be frustrated trying to use Kontakt as a substitute.

    I believe that you have IK Syntronik, right?

    That and Kontakt sample libraries of vintage synth hardware would be somewhat similar experiences, but Kontakt may be even less so than Syntronik in that regard. At least Syntronik has modeled filters that you can manipulate. Kontakt is a generalist that accommodates a wider array of content, more like SampleTank in that regard.

    But Kontakt is probably the most widely used sample library player in existence, so I would recommend at least adding the Kontakt Player and/or Komplete Start to your collection! All of the NI issued Kontakt libraries are Player compatible. You just need to look for "Made for Kontakt Player" on any 3rd party libraries.

    I don't believe this Kontakt instruments have the Z-Plane Filters, the modulation matrix or other features of the HW units implemented.

    These are just samples. Kontakt doesn't actually support those hardware features, just a scripted experience to simulate the original.

    – Dynamic graphic interface allowing hardware like functionality
    – Module programs grouped, ordered, and tagged to match the hardware
    – 3 Effects Busses with control of parameters
    – 32 Step Programmable Arpeggiator
    – Solo/Mono Mode with Legato & Glide Control
    – Komplete Kontrol Previews
    – Compatible with all NKS hardware controllers

    I looked, but there is no VST2 version of that plugin in Cakewalk. Sounds strange, but maybe since VST2 is no longer officially supported by Steinberg there might be none.(?)

    The Chordjam product page indicates that VST2 should be available. Perhaps you have selected this option to hide VST2 in Cakewalk if VST3 is available?

    Also, does anyone know how Kontakt compares with Emulator X3?  Maybe if I sell all my hardware and Sample CDs I could afford Kontakt and a computer powerful enough to run it. 

    This library is Kontakt Player compatible, so no problem affording Kontakt Player (free)!

    Kontakt is a sample player, so in my experience generally not heavy on the CPU. But you may want at least 16GB RAM if you are using sample libraries. Compared to sample players, virtual synths that emulate hardware are much heavier on the CPU.

  10. Email from Plugin Guru today:

    The Absynth 5 Power Pack for $20 and now includes all 149 Patches in Unify format!

    I have released an updated version of the Absynth 5 Power Pack V1 which now includes all 149 Synth patches in Unify format. I'm also putting it on sale for $19 off until October 1st!

    If you own this library already, log into the PlugInGuru.com website to see the new download file named "absynth_5_unify_power_pack.zip" to download.

    NOTE: on Apple ARM based computers, pitch bend down causes the volume to drop significantly. This happens in both Unify and in Logic Pro X when loading Absynth to a channel strip - so the problem is in Absynth 5 but at this point the problems won't be fixed because NI picked dropping Absynth 5 from their catalog over updating & supporting or upgrading Absynth.... very unfortunate.

    If a plugin need control of the transport it can't by default on an empty track.

    If you look at the Cakewalk video he posted, he cannot get the plugin UI to let him drag a note duration in the sequencer. That appears to be the "not working" part.

    But if you watch him in the Ableton Live video, he just drags the notes out in the plugin sequencer, then plays the keys live manually with his mouse. The transport is not running until later in his demo.

    Usually I do not have any problems in Cakewalk with my plugins. But since it works with other DAWs I thought People should know that Chordjam won't work in full capacity with our favorite DAW.

    I noticed that you were using the VST3 plugin format with Cakewalk in your example. Did you test the VST2?

    Sometimes with Cakewalk one plugin format may work fine, while the other will not. Worth a try!
