Full Kontakt v 5.8.1 or later required.

This is a Simple Instrument Track. In contains a MIDI track routed to a VST instrument and an Audio track. I was wondering if there is any MIDI controller data that might be overriding what the automation might be configured to change.

I have to agree with this. Maybe it's my hearing or my system, but damned if I could tell any difference with A/Bing (even on all tracks) “Hey mate, you forgot to put the Console Emulator on all of the tracks in the final mix”, said no client ever.....

Are these SITs or pure audio tracks?

See: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR X2&language=3&help=ProChannel.8.html

You should have mentioned that......

Try updating the lame_enc.dll You can download the latest version at http://www.free-codecs.com/Lame_Encoder_download.htm

This green bar appears alongside the selection bar whenever something is selected. It's actually the selection itself that defines part of the track that you want to transpose (or perform any editing function). See: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=NewFeatures.079.html The way to make them invisible is by using the Cakewalk theme editor to set opacity of the Selection Marker to 0%. This is under the item Theme > Time Ruler > Markers. The item name is “Selection Markers”. Note, even though this makes them invisible, they still function as if they are visible. To select all notes in a given track, click the track number in the track pane. (might want to deselect all first)

I am not sure what happened there. One possibility is that, in the MIDI track, some events are set to the wrong channel. This might also explain why a piano is heard in stead of the required Bass sound (Patch 34 should be a bass sound). Yes, the intended part has been set to a BASS sound. However, the MIDI channels used in the events themselves might send those events to another part which, by default, is a piano sound. Setting the MIDI track’s MIDI channel setting to a specific MIDI channel rather than “none” (done above where you set the patch) will force all MIDI events in that MIDI track to that channel. BTW, I believe a “shape” event in the event list is MIDI automation on that track. Before deleting those, you might want to make sure there is no automation in the MIDI track.

Important Note: The Vintage Keys Collection requires the FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or above

Is it possible that for yamaha keyboard, styles are configured using sysex commands. Cakewalk by Bandlab allows one to enter sysex command as banks (or even descrete sysex strings using the event list view. I believe that that sysex commands to do this is as follows "F0 43 73 01 51 05 00 03 04 00 00 dd dd F7" where "dd dd" is the Style Number. To find out the sysex strings you would need to send, you will have to consult the MIDI implementation chart for your particular Yamaha keyboard.

I downloaded this and there does not seem to be any MIDI command that you can send to French Violin to change these articulations. Unfortunately, This would rule out changing these articulations in French Violin using articulation maps. I also tried sending patch change commands - these had no effect. If someone does know if there are MIDI commands that can change these articulations, then hopefully they can chime in.

As a test, I loaded a previous project that uses AD2 and various soft synths and that has screensets. While the project was playing, I switched screensets. The project continues to play with out any interruption of any kind. My Cakewalk and PC is configured as per my signature. We are going to need information about your set up (Detailed PC Specs, OS and version, version of Cakewalk, etc.) Have you updated your all of hardware drivers (using manufacturer's websites rather than Windows updates) What driver mode are you using?

It's the part that opens up when you press i . It can show more settings pertaining to a track.

That is correct. You really should update to Cakewalk by Bandlab

When you make a note selection that causes the selection marker to appear, the selection bar should just appear. You can also left mouse click drag along the ruler to make a selection. The selection bar should just appear there as well.

Any chance of a screenshot (showing the inspector and full width console strip for the MIDI track)

Is Input Echo on?

Tried a new power supply - just to rule it out? I know you “don't think this is related to your PC". However, this is definitely looking like a hardware issue of some kind....

On the Breverb GUI, look under the "Freg" tab

There are many Cakewalk settings that exist in the registry also. Part of my daily backup routine is a script that includes the backing up of these registry settings. ::Backup Cakewalk by Bandlab HKey Current User regedit /e "{your backup folder}\CbB_core_CU.reg" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core" ::Backup Cakewalk by Bandlab Hey Local Machine regedit /e "{your backup folder}\CbB_core_LM.reg" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core" There are also specific setting I backup also - like Colours, key bindings, recent file list, user paths, etc

Yes!

I use PRV snap resolution toggle using a keybinding and have never had an issue with it. - on mine Cakewalk, it's under the Keyboard shortcuts. Area: Piano Roll View under the name "PRV Snap Override" In relation to your second point - yes, I feel your pain. That is why when ever I make changes to Keyboard shortcuts, I export the file in case something goes astray. I do remember times when I would create a Keyboard shortcut, I press the key, and Cakewalk just sits there laughing at me. I could not assign a given key combination to anything. When ever this happened, I think this was due to duplicate entries occurring internally. When this happened, here is what I did to fix it. Create a keybinding to a CAL script - does not matter which one, as long as you remember the name. Export the Keyboard shortcuts file twice to generate two KBN files, each with a different name (one is for a backup). Open one of the resultant KBN files with any text editor. Search for the occurrence of the CAL script name in that file - there will be an entry Kx{number}={CAL script name}. Search for any other occurrences of Kx{number} and delete those lines - that should free up that keybinding and remove duplicates. Reimport the edited KBN file back into Cakewalk. If something does wrong, you have the other unedited KBN file to import. This is something I did a while back to fix non responsive key combinations and it worked. It allowed those non responsive key combinations to now be used. One other thing to be aware of is that, if you’re using them, Workspaces can load their own keybindings. On my system, I do use Workspaces. However, I have configured them not to load Keyboard Shortcuts (Use Workspace Manager to do this)

Define “the speaker” The Focusrite's driver is the correct driver and this does support ASIO mode in Cakewalk (and any other DAW that supports ASIO). I have the Focusrite 2i2 and I can play MP3 files though the 2i2 using any program whether Cakewalk is opened or closed. Everywhere where you can set the sample rate, bit depth and buffer size, make sure they are set to the the same values. Check the Windows Sound settings Start + Run (or Winkey + R) > mmsys.cpl. Confirm your default sound device. I have 2 sound devices, the Focusrite 2i2 is set as the default. Its sample rate is 48000hz 24 bit, 256 samples buffer size. How exactly are you attempting to playing your MP3 file? Which program? Any details you can give would be helpful.

It would help immensely if you could tell us what audio interface you have. Also, what was the result when you downloaded and installed the latest driver for said audio interface (I am assuming that’s the first thing you tried) Note: If there are native ASIO drivers available for your audio interface comes, ASIO is the preferred driver mode.
