With this preset, on my system, playing a 6 note chord, Pigments 5 reported an averaged of17% CPU (MultiCore on). Task-manger reported Pigments using 35% while playing 6 notes. This is on a PC configured as per Signature.

This from a fresh reboot? Windows fully patched? Windows updates pending? Disabled WIFI? All Cakewalk/audio folders excluded form realtime antivirus/malware scans? Uninstalled/reinstalled(Updated if necessary) all drivers (not just audio interface)? What driver mode, bit depth, sample rate, buffer size? Is your audio interface the only audio device enabled? If it worked before and now it doesn’t - something must have changed.

I just opened up Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 and opened an old MIDI project that I did in 2011. Print preview displays fine here. I have two printer drivers installed. And Epson inkjet and Adobe PDF writer This is on a PC configured as per my signature. Does the same thing happen with Cakewalk by Bandlab? Note: Print Preview works fine also here on Cakewalk by Bandlab with the same file.

Is your internet rock solid? Done an internet speed and integrity test? Personally, I use wired internet (ethernet between PC and router, cable between router and internet. No WIFI anywhere) , and I have never had any issues downloading and installing Cakewalk.

You may be getting getting digital noise interference from the Surface Book laptop itself (probably from the graphics components) Make sure all drivers (for the Surface Book itself as well as the Scarlett) are up to date Do you hear the buzzing when you plug headphones directly into the Scarlett? Do your monitors accept balanced inputs and, if so, are you using balanced cables between the Scarlett and the monitors. Even if balanced cables do not solve this particular issue, I still recommend you use them. Note: This is from experience with a 2nd gen Focusrite 2i2. I had buzzing from the PC’s graphics card.. Changed to balanced cables between the 2i2 and the mixer. No more buzzing.

Just did a test. All articulations from the beginning of the track up to the play point are chased.

Yes, NRPN and RPN events being sent to Cakewalk instruments categorically stops Cakewalk instruments dead in their tracks (no pun intended)> You need to either, as you have done, enable “Do Not Intercept NRPNs”, or make sure there are absolutely no NRPN and RPN events in any MIDI tracks being routed to MIDI instruments.

Ah whoops.... you’re right. Must be this hot weather frying my brain... My bad!...

Does not seem to happening to everyone. As a test, I created 100 audio tracks. In each track’s FX bin I insert an instance of Sonitus Reverb and Sonitus Phaser. That is, the project had 100 instances of Sonitus Reverb and 100 instances of Sonitus Phaser I was able to save the project and close CbB. Then open the project in normal mode. That is on a PC as per my signature.

Loaded SITs of SQ80 V and CZ V into one CbB project (2 tracks). Recorded independent MIDI phrase on each track, one after the other. No issues here. (PC as per Sig.)

I think sysex is only routed to and from hardware MIDI ports. Any sysex data encountered in a MIDI track, even if the MIDI track itself is routed to VSTis, will go to your first available hardware MIDI port, if exists. I am not sure what happens if you do not have any available hardware MIDI ports (probably goes nowhere). I tried this, and my hardware MIDI port flashed its output LED when ever sysex data was encountered in the track. With sysex banks, you actually specify the hardware MIDI ports on the Sysex View window.

Separately....

Yeah, that could work if the notes are different. However, if they are the same and/or the timing is all over the place, then it’s a CAL script. A CAL script that selected every other note could work - then set the velocity of selected notes to an arbitrary value. These are the sort of things I would like to see in the new Sonar as native functions rather than having users messing around with CAL scripts.

That might be down to the differences in the way CAL commands are processed between CPA9 and CbB For instance, issue EditCut40 EditCopy40 or EditPaste40 commands without paramters in CPA9 bring up a dialogue box. In CbB, the command just executes. Also the EditSlide40 command will categorically crash CbB. Any CAL scripts I have written, I make sure work in CbB.

This is one I came up with at such short notice. To use this, select the notes, so that the hi hats are the highest notes selected are the snares are the lowest selected is the snares It should delete any hihats that are within 50 ticks of a snare. No warranties (do (int min_val 127) (int max_val) (int current_note_count) (int Previous_note_count) (long Snare_time) (long time_diff) (forEachEvent (if (== Event.Kind NOTE) (do (if (<= Note.Key min_val) (= min_val Note.Key)) (if (>= Note.Key max_val) (= max_val Note.Key)) );end do );end if );end for (forEachEvent (if (== Event.Kind NOTE) (do (if (== Note.Key min_val) (= Snare_time Event.Time)) (if (== Note.Key max_val) (do (= time_diff (- Event.Time Snare_time)) (if (&& (< time_diff 50) (> time_diff -50)) (delete)) );end do );end if );end do );end if );end for );end do

Your question should not be “Is there a CAL script that..........”, but rather, “Can a CAL script be written that..........”

Quickly came up with this script This script asks for the alternative value, then sets all alternative notes to that alternative value, leaves the rest alone. (do (int count 0) (int Alt_velocity 100) (getInt Alt_velocity "Please enter velocity for every alternative note" 1 127) (forEachEvent (if (== Event.Kind NOTE) (do (if (== (% count 2) 0) (= Note.Vel Alt_velocity)) (++ count)))) );end do

No, but I am sure one could be written.

You can adjust Panic strength in Cakewalk.ini to 1. This causes the panic button to send note off events for all notes in addition to CC123. What I have also done is programmed a button on my MIDI controller to send CC120 127 CC120 0 CC123 127 CC123 0 (in that order) Many synths respond to that.

Cakewalk by Bandlab 2023.09 Build 75 should install on a fully patched Windows 7 PC (Well patched up to January 2020) Of course there will be a warning. However, it’s just warning, not a show stopper. It should still install. Just don’t expect any support. Note, you should be using the Web installer, not Bandlab Assistant to install Cakewalk by Bandlab 2023.09 Build 75. https://downloads.bandlab.com/cakewalk/setup/CakewalkSetup.exe

I would use two sends to route the signal to two buses. Then, put a tremolo effect on each of the bus’s effect bin. Use a Tremolo that allows for a very specific modulation wave (In your case, 50% duty cycle a square wave set at 1/128th). Meldaproduction’s MtremoloMB comes to mind. MtremoloMB’s modulation source be any waveform you like. This modulator can also be synced to tempo.

That is correct.

Definitely not happening here.

Note, installing this has the same issue we had before with BBC Orchestra piano. We end up with a folder with a VST3 extension - this might can contuse Cakewalk’s VST3 scanning component (it did on mine). Simple solution is to remove the VST3 extension from Abbey Road folder in the %CommonProgramFiles%\VST3 folder and then rescan. I am hoping that, by now, you all have your windows explorer to view all extensions for unknown file types.
