Have you enabled Multiprocessor Support in the Kontakt Options, Engine tab?

That's good to know. Even a powered hub?

Open Device Manager, drill down to “Universal Serial Bus Controllers”, Open up Properties for anything that has “Root Hub” in the name, then in the “Power Management” tab , deselect “Allow Windows to turn off devices to save power”. Also, if you must connect your USB devices via a USB hub, then make sure that USB hub has its own power supply.

I use “RechannelMIDI=1” in the “Cakewalk.ini” file. (Preferences - File - Initialisation File (Advanced)) Then, when I bounce MIDI clips, the MIDI channels of all MIDI events in the resultant clips will change the match the MIDI channel of the MIDI track they are in. Of course, for this to work, your MIDI tracks need to be set to specific MIDI channels, rather than “None”.

You’re not in offset mode by any chance are you? Any chance of a full screen screenshot showing the inspector for the bus you want to automate and the control bar visible (specifically the mix Module)?

Now if they could do that with Motions, Fragments and the entire Augmented series........

I am the one with the PCR800 (Working fine) The OP stated they have an an M-Audio EX-P expression pedal connected to a M-Audio Hammer 88 I would have thought, with both items being from the sane manufacture, that this combination would be fine. To the OP: You say you’re only getting 60% to 100%. Are you able to use MIDI monitoring software to see what the M-Audio Hammer 88 is actually transmitting when moving the expression pedal? I use the free utility ShowMIDI for this. This can run in standalone or as a VST and will show you what the M-Audio Hammer 88 is actually transmitting when moving the expression pedal. https://github.com/gbevin/ShowMIDI/releases

The only version of Cakewalk by Bandlab that will activate is CbB 2023.9 Build 75. Any version prior to this will not activate as these version will try to connect to the old activation server. The installer for CbB 2023.9 Build 75 is “Cakewalk_by_BandLab_Setup_29.09.0.075.exe”. You can’t see the extension on your list because your Windows is configured not to display them. (On mine, they do) You might as well delete the installers for earlier versions as they will not activate. It will be quite a while before CbB 2023.9 Build 75 will cease to activate. Even after Sonar is released, CbB 2023.9 Build 75 will still activate for some time yet. This is to give people time to transition.

Just this project or all? Have you checked the output level of your Hardware Output channel strip has not changed. Maybe reinstall the drivers for your audio interface?

Doubling the Ram would only help if you are actually hitting the ram ceiling. Getting a bigger power supply would probably not help. How many tracks in the project? What happens if you disable the “video file playing”?

Are you noticing any performance issues? Is every thing running fine. No drop outs or anything like that. temperatures ok? This could even be a bug in the Windows 10/11 task manager.

Mine is 256. I am not have high power usage. I am using a older version of the task manager. Where are you seeing: Power usage: VERY HIGH (screenshot might be handy) What graphics adapter are you using?

Sorry, my bad. What graphics adapter are you using? Any other tasks running in the background. 64gig is definitely not too little

PC Specs please

I would have thought Arturia would have offered a discount for Augmented Woodwinds to users who own licences for all the four of the other Augmented products. Maybe, in time, they will.

Maybe you need to perform the steps outlined here: See: https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034066393-Clean-Install-Cakewalk-by-BandLab

Installing Cakewalk by Bandlab is a pretty straight forward process and should just work. You say, you “had to reinstall“. Have you tried uninstalling first (Programs and features). If Cakewalk by Bandlab is not installing, there would be a fundamental system issue that is preventing it. Can you give us some details about your system? Have you installed all Windows updates and rebooted your PC? (or just even a reboot)

What is the exact make and model of your expression pedal? What is the exact model of of your keyboard? I have a Yamaha FC-7 Expression pedal plugged into a Edirol (or Roland) PCR-800. For this combination to work correctly, I had to also purchase a couple of adapter leads to connect between the Expression pedal and the PCR-800 to reverse the polarity. Mine goes from 0% to 100% (or 0 to 127). Without those adapter leads, that range transmitted was all over the place.

Bandlab Assistant is no longer used to install Cakewalk by Bandlab. Use the web installer instead. https://downloads.bandlab.com/cakewalk/setup/CakewalkSetup.exe

I have been wanting a dark mode for quite a while now for all of the Augmented series I actually don’t think we will ever see it - even after numerous feature requests at Arturia. They say, “yeah, great idea” - then nada!

Just to add: The “specified channel” is the MIDI channel you have set your MIDI (or Simple Instrument) Track to. When you add a MIDI (or Simple Instrument) Track, the default MIDI channel is set to. What I do is create track templates of MIDI tracks with the MIDI channel already set to a number, rather than “None”.

I thought of that too and tried it.... nada! Order not changed.

Mine was more on the "MY PRODUCT" → "SEE MORE" page (US$199.00 as opposed to US$149.00)

That looks right to me too. MIDIox should be showing Data coming in when you press the sustain pedal. Maybe you have a faulty Alesis v49.

In Preferences - MIDI - Devices, how many ports are listed for the Mikro?
