I tried that one but the data disappears seconds after displayed so if you don't see it right away it's gone and you have no idea there was any data. 

You can configure it not to disappear.

I use ShowMIDI

No issues. just checking as I am sometimes worried about IK updates as they break things sometimes. 

Actually, that is a valid concern. 

I can remember one early Sampletank 4 update broke how it dealt with Pitch Bend.  On every preset, the actual bend amount did not match the dialled amount. 

Took them a few months to issue a fix after I reported that issue to IK Multimedia.

I had to include variations in my Sampletank 4 projects to cater for this bug while it existed.

What is a Cal script?

A CAL script is a text file that one can open in Cakewalk that can programmatically manipulate or enter MIDI data inside Cakewalk.

CAL stands for Cakewalk Application Language.  It has been available in various iterations of Cakewalk going back a few decades. 

Up until around 2002, one could edit CAL scripts directly inside Cakewalk. 

Fortunately, the latest versions of Cakewalk and Sonar can still load and execute them.

 

What happens if you create SIT with an instance SI Drum kit (with all the settings you want), and then save as a Track Template?

Then , whenever you want a SIT with an instance SI Drum kit with all of your settings, just load said Track Template.

I am so glad I can hide specific posts.....

has anyone installed this and tested it yet?

I have installed it.  It opens In Cakewalk.  I Created a 4 measure drum loop with Billy Cobham Kit using Cal Scripts I have written.

Sampletank 4.25 Works fine here.

Sampletank is huge with lots of content.  Are you having a specific issue with a specific function or specific content or preset?

Which version of Windows?

My Sonar starts normally after the May 2025 Windows 10 update.

You might want to try reinstalling your Vdist Runtimes.

I am assuming you have uninstalled and reinstalled (not just update) your Windows drivers (including graphics drivers, not just audio interface drivers).

Have you told Windows quality updates to never touch any of your drivers. 

See:

https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-stop-automatic-driver-updates/ 

What’s new in SampleTank 4.2.5

Fixed an issue leading to duplicate notes when using keyswitches.

Fixed an issue with filters selection and mouse input in the Browser.

Fixed a filter type issue when selecting Filter-O.

Improved Installer compatibility with ARM architecture on Windows.

General reliability improvements

Currently, there is no way to see all Remote Control mappings on one screen.

At the moment, the only way is to know which slider or know a Remote Control is set, and then right click and select Remote Control.

We desperately need to have a “Manage Remote Controls” item on that right click menu that lists all Remote Controls in the project. (like we have for “groups”)

I've got Insert, Print Screen and Pause/Break.  No Scroll Lock.

You sure about having no Scroll Lock? 

In the years of working in IT, pretty much every keyboard I have seen has a scroll lock key.

Are you using a custom keyboard?

maybe it would be time to program something like a *cwp VIEWER so that we can see all the data of a certain project at a glance  🧐 (how many MIDI tracks, how many samples,  all remote assignments, etc) got no idea, how many information is stored in a CWP

Sounds like a candidate for a feature request... 

https://discuss.cakewalk.com/forum/8-feedback-loop/

Note: Quite a while ago, I asked for a feature to display a list of Remote Control mappings in the current, open project.

Remote Control Data configuration is stored in a project *.cwp file.

Can we please have the following type of MIDI editing features available on Sonar 2025 and forward.

In regards to controllers and notes in the controller lanes and notes pane (where applicable) in the PRV:

· Mirror horizontally and/or vertically. 
· Flip horizontally and/or vertically (for vertically, using midway between highest and lowest as anchor point.)
· Horizontally scale using any position in the selection as the anchor point.
· Time warp  (meaning gradually increasing or decreasing the speed of just selected events). 
· The ablity to quickly enter controller shapes - for instance to use pitch bend events to get vibrato or CC7 or CC11 events to get tremolo. 
· Create ramps, dips and crests using previous CC value (if exists) for starting point of dips or crests).  User enters CC number.
· Convert linear ramps to curved (and the ability to switch selected events from concave to convex and back)

Yes, I know we have the transform tool for some of these.... but the above would go beyond what the transform tool offers.

Also for the Horizontally scale and time warp, you cannot perform these on notes.  You cannot time warp or scale notes and Controllers at the same time.

Note: My workaround is to write CAL scripts for all of the above (and more not listed) and put them into a Studioware Panel.  For a given project these Studioware Panels save so much time.  

I think Sonar Sonar 2025 and beyond could benefit from these features.

What Windows scaling are you using?  If not at 100%, try 100%

Does this also happen with GPU Acceleration disabled?

This does not seem to do anything, noting changes, not settings come up nadda.

This should bring up the Meter/Key dialogue box.  This is the default keybinging in Sonar 2025,  CbB and Splat for the Meter/Key dialogue box (maybe some earlier versions too)

What version of Cakewalk are you running?

Are you using a workspace that has hidden the Meter/Key dialogue box?

Have you messed around with keybindings?

Patch Change events are just that - Patch Change events.  They are not sysex events.

In your case, what you could do is create a sysex bank containing, for example,  "F0 31 40 02 02 F7" using Sysx view. (ALT+SHIFT+7)  Then save that bank as a Sysex file for future recall.

Then, when ever you need this sysex string for a project, load it into a Bank (using Sysx view. ALT+SHIFT+7) - Make a mental note of the bank number.

Then in event view, enter a Sysex Bank command - referring to the bank number you made a mental note of. 

I use sysex all the time for outboard gear and this in the method I use.

Note: Articulation Maps cannot be used to manipulate or send sysex data.

Press ALT+SHIFT+6

Press X

Is this a VST2 or VST3?  Is this compatible with the New Sonar?  What is the CPU hit when run inside Sonar?

I have never had this issue with any version of Cakewalk or Sonar.

Try using Latecymon to see if it can help pinpoint the issue.

I didn't understand your comment.

It meant your whole question made zero sense as written.

Sorry, I am New. in this field. I installed Soundtoys but that need an Activation Code. can you help me please?

Did you not get one when you made the purchase? 

Also, you have responded to a 5+ year old thread.  You might get more responses if you start a new thread.

See my answer to your same post here.

Recently you purchased an SSD and you are using it not as a system drive, but as a setup.

For folders transfers CAKEWALK PROJECTS and CAKEWALK CONTENTS, you hope to have quicker access to the items and, therefore, the minimum operation and workflow will be quicker.

Let's start with my little problems.

If you, by master or Cakewalk, use driver C to search for pastries and items, you will be given the opportunity to inform yourself which pastries are specifically designed for you.

Please note that CAKEWALK CONTENT must always be without driver 😄

And other pastas also and, aos little, you'll find the items nowhere.

Currently I'm trying to click to select a Prochannel preset that is in the direct paste where the archives are and I don't recommend them.

Can anyone help me expand my information on all the trucks used by Cakewalk for our items?

eh?
