Maybe they just left off the word 'General' on the case? I've always liked the SC 8850, but never owned one. Wikipedia Roland SC-8850 "The SC-8850 was the first sound module to incorporate the new General MIDI Level 2 standard." From the SC-8850 manual: http://cdn.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/SC-8850_OM.pdf GS appears to be proprietary Roland format:

MIDI 2 not GM2. You're talking about General MIDI 2 which is an instrument mapping/handling spec. https://www.midi.org/specifications-old/item/general-midi-2 Nothing should change about the workings of your Sound Canvas; Your device will be detected and handled as a MIDI v1. GM2 will remain as is.

Just before the full eclipse the clouds blew in and completely covered the moon hoping things will clear at some point before it's over

More tidbits... The following info and a lot more at: https://www.midi.org/articles-old/midi-manufacturers-association-mma-adopts-midi-capability-inquiry-midi-ci-specification MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA) Adopts MIDI Capability Inquiry (MIDI-CI) Specification. The MIDI-CI specification is now available for download by MIDI Association members. . MIDI has been a successful tool for more than 3 decades. The features of MIDI 1.0 continue to work well. The basic semantic language of music does not change and as a result the existing definitions of MIDI as musical control messages continue to work remarkably well. However, MIDI has not changed to fully take advantage of the new technical environment around it. We want to expand the feature set of MIDI capabilities. At the same time, we recognize there are several key hurdles and requirements to consider as we make any additions to MIDI: •Backwards compatibility is a key requirement. Our users expect new MIDI devices to work seamlessly with MIDI devices sold over the past 33 years. •All MIDI Status Bytes are defined. The opcodes and data payloads are defined. It is difficult to define any new message types or change the format of the existing MIDI messages. Expanding MIDI with new features requires a new protocol with extended MIDI messages. To protect backwards compatibility in an environment with expanded features, devices need to confirm the capabilities of other connected devices. When 2 devices are connected to each other, they use MIDI 1.0 and confirm each other's capabilities before using expanded features. If both devices share support for the same expanded MIDI features they can agree to use those expanded MIDI features. MIDI-CI provides this mechanism. MIDI-CI: Solution for Expanding MIDI while Protecting Backwards Compatibility: MIDI Capability Inquiry (MIDI-CI) is a mechanism to allow us to expand MIDI with new features while protecting backward compatibility with MIDI devices that do not understand these newly defined features. MIDI-CI separates older MIDI products from newer products with new capabilities and provides a mechanism for two MIDI devices to understand what new capabilities are supported. MIDI-CI assumes and requires bidirectional communication. Once a MIDI-CI connection is established between devices, query and response messages define what capabilities each device has. MIDI-CI then negotiates or auto-configures to use those features that are common between the devices. MIDI-CI provides test mechanisms when enabling new features. If a test fails, then devices fall back to using MIDI 1.0 for that feature. MIDI-CI improves MIDI capabilities in several key areas. MIDI-CI allows devices to use an expanded MIDI protocol with high resolution and multiple per note controllers. It allows for incremental adoption of new MIDI features by providing a fallback to MIDI 1.0 devices in all cases. MIDI-CI Includes Queries for 3 major areas of expanded MIDI functionality: 1. Protocol Negotiation 2. Profile Configuration 3. Property Exchange

Saw this, maybe it'll work for you... https://www.imore.com/how-to-clone-your-mac

Free MIDI effects plugins from Plugin Guru Information and download links: PllugInGuru Show MIDI PlugInGuru ModMate Show MIDI Show MIDI is a MIDI Plug-In that shows you what you play on your keyboard controller with a visual display on your computer. This is helpful for people teaching classes, hosting webinars or livestreams or making videos where they need a keyboard to display what they are performing so others can watch along. I use this to make my YouTube videos because of the added flexibility of showing up to 4 MIDI CC#’s as well as Pitch Bend. Your DAW HAS to support MIDI Effects in order for this plug-in to be useful to you. Available for PC’s in 32-bit and 64-bit VST and VST3 formats. Available for Macintosh in Audio Unit, VST and VST3 format. This a FREE MIDI Plug-In that displays MIDI Activity with a keyboard and up to 5 faders that can be set to any of MIDI’s 127 MIDI CC#’s. The PlugIn is ReSizable and able to be set to display between 25 and 88 notes (5 different keyboard size options). This is FREE but you need to be a registered user here to add it to your account and download it. If you enjoy this plug-in and want to say thank you, then please buy a library of patches (or two or three). That is the nicest way to say thank you and you get new sounds for your favorite software plugins to be inspired by at the same time. So thank you in advance for your support. ModMate ModMate is a very powerful but simple plug-in that allows you to display on the Left set of faders, incoming MIDI activity from Pitch Bend and 4 assignable MIDI CC lanes. The 4 faders on the Right are 4 different assignable MIDI CC# sliders that can be assigned to DIFFERENT MIDI CC#’s if desired (or aftertouch). The 4 boxes in each input fader strip allow you to determine which of the 4 MIDI CC output lanes that input MIDI data will “Take over”. The cool thing with this is that you can assign CC1 (Mod Wheel) to control all 4 lanes by checking the boxes for all 4 lanes in the cc1 strip. We are starting to use more than 1 MIDI CC to control the sounds in our libraries. So these new Omnisphere 2.5 libraries (Airwave V3 and Beautifully Broken) can be used and all 4 MIDI CC’s can be changed using just the pitch bend up/down and Modulation wheel, for example. Also, since these settings can be saved in most DAW’s as a preset, you can make different MIDI CC templates for different sample libraries or for different ways you might use this plugin. So your Spitfire libraries can have one preset that assigns your hardware to control their libraries, while a different preset sets everything up for controlling your Omnisphere libraries. NOTE: This MIDI Effect PlugIn only will work in DAW’s that support MIDI effect PlugIns. Also, if you use this and then send a song file to someone else, they also MUST have ModMate installed in their system as well. This is doing real-time conversion of MIDI data. It is not writing this data into your sequence files, it is just re-channeling it in real-time to from one MIDI CC# to another. Available in PC (VST and VST3 32-bit and 64-bit formats) and Mac (Audio Unit, VST and VST3)

If you use hardware with your DAW this plugin can come in handy! https://non-lethal-applications.com/products/snapshot What is Snapshot? Snapshot is a simple idea, take a picture of anything you are using in your recording session and store it in the tracks of your DAW. Got a sound on your vintage 1176 compressor you've set for the vocal? Snapshot it. Got a guitar amp setting you just love? Snapshot it. Want to recall the mic set-up on your cabs or drum kit? Snapshot it. Snap it on your phone, send it to your computer and save it in your session using the free Snapshot plug-in. You can also add notes to each instance of Snapshot. It's like a chinagraph for the 21st century. Snapshot works with all major DAWs, uses minimal resources and is simple to use ... and did we say it's free? Download Snapshot for Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, Cubase, Studio One, in fact, any DAW that supports AAX, AU or VST plug-in formats. New features in version 2 Snapshot now supports Windows 10 as well as macOS 10.9 and above Load several images into Snapshot and move through them easily Snapshot now displays each image in a set in their original aspect ratio Rotate each image within Snapshot

Just a heads up that sale is suppose to end Saturday.

and now (wasn't earlier) there's a Cakewalk update!!! Edit: but maybe that's what Larry intended to say in his 2nd post... Release Notes (2019.01) Features & Enhancements In addition to exporting Cakewalk projects to BandLab, you can now also export projects from your BandLab library and open them in Cakewalk Ripple Edit indicator in the Track view Export Module now displays H:M:S:F, and the Selection mode persists if there is no selection Start Screen can now show up to 500 project templates (previously limited to 100) BandLab Assistant can be launched from the Utilities menu Integrated zplane élastique Pro audio stretching and pitch shifting has been updated to version 3.3 with bug fixes and performance enhancements Cakewalk Plug-in Manager optimizations Plug-in Browser text colors can be edited in Cakewalk Theme Editor; VST2 and VST3 plug-ins use different colors Option to view release notes after installation is complete New user forums (discuss.cakewalk.com) now accessible from the Help menu Bug Fixes Recording on muted Take lanes was possible Missing folders could reassign user paths to the AppData path automatically Switching plug-in categories in the Cakewalk Plug-in Manager could be very slow

I'm looking forward to MIDI 2.0 but TBH with the way I work (and not doing anything live at the moment) I don't expect it to make much difference in my work. Wonder how long it will take various DAWs, MIDI instruments and plugins to comply with MIDI 2.0 once/if it becomes a standard? A lot of hardware companies will love this because it will give them a chance to resell you the v2 version of your audio interface or controller. By the same measure a lot of software companies will be upset because they'll have to shoehorn v2 features into their product(s) at some point within their annual update cycle to appear competitive.

The following product update is now available for download: * Voxengo Voxformer 2.12 This update includes the following changes: * Added "anti-aliasing" spectrum display mode. * 27% lower CPU usage on AVX2-capable processors (in 64-bit mode). * Added Retina support on macOS, and automatic high-resolution UI size adjustment on Windows.

? If you're talking about the OP, I suspect TtF has the Expansions in question.

Lol. OK, now I feel better!

Thanks, I thought I had looked thoroughly... Shame that per Steinberg:

> bandlab only recognizes plugins on C. No so, like almost every DAW out there you have to set the path where it scans to find your VST plugins. With Cakewalk you do this by Regarding > you can A) only install Bandlab on C If you had gone into Advanced install options when you installed the CbB you could have chosen the install location.

Looks like these also work with Groove Agent SE that comes with Cubase. Been trying to find out difference between Groove Agent & Groove Agent SE. Looks like only difference is SE version is bundled with Cubase and lacks upgrade options. Is this correct?

Depends on what you mean by simple or easy management . Once you start collecting a number of plugins or working with more that one DAW it can be more of a headache. Storing your plugins in a system folder complicates installing updates, backups and in some cases authorizations. This is the system that I currently use. It optimizes scanning, eliminates almost all dupes and it works across multiple DAWS. C:. ├───Audio │ ├───VST32 │ │ ├───32Main │ │ └───Has 64 bit version │ └───VST64 │ ├───64Main │ └───Has VST3 version For Cakewalk my scan path is: C:\Audio\VST32\32Main; C:\Audio\VST64\64Main C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 For other DAWS just select the appropriate paths.

Now available at other resellers! $31.08 at JRR Shop https://www.jrrshop.com/eventide-instant-phaser with code GROUP. $30.99 at EveryPlugin http://everyplugin.com/instant-phaser-mk-ii.html

https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/audio-plug-ins/eventide-instant-phaser-mk-ii At AudioDeluxe $37 (See following posts for cheaper deals from other vendors) Own the First Studio Phaser Released in 1971, the Eventide Instant Phaser began the studio effects revolution by successfully simulating tape flanging, an effect that’s been at the core of legendary albums for the last five decades. Reminisce back to a phaser with analog personality, smooth modulations, and inherent musicality. Outfitted with a complete host of control options, the Instant Phaser Mk II is out of the rack and into your plugin arsenal. This new emulation of the classic effect accomplishes the same legendary sound notably used on hits like Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” and “Presence”. The capabilities have been expanded, and now you can even take your phaser on an excursion from the 70s far into the future with the delightfully characteristic “Age” knob. New Age, Old Age, and Everything in Between As hardware phase-shift networks get older, they don’t line up as well as they used to, revealing their analog character. The resulting effect is less exact, for tracks where imprecise nature is desired. While component drift and unintentional effects are usually omitted in hardware emulation, we’ve decided to put the ball in your court. For a phasing sound that’s straight out of the factory, set Age to 0%. To capture the sound of the same phaser 47 years later (present day), set Age to 25%. The remaining 75% allows you to discover the Instant Phaser among the wreckage of a dilapidated studio hundreds of years from now and check it out on your new single. Change the Feel, Switch the Mode The Instant Phaser Mk II offers three different sonic characteristics that change the amount of phase-shift sections, simply labeled “Shallow”, “Deep”, and “Wide”. When “Wide” is selected, the Instant Phaser Mk II gives you a different amount of phase-shifting on both right and left channels, resulting in a slightly different effect in each ear. You can use this to turn flat mono guitars into huge stereo leads, or make your single channel synthesizer fill out the sides of your mix. Different Ways to Phase The Instant Phaser allows four distinct methods to control the phasing: Manual allows precise automation of the phasing. Oscillator modulates the phasing at a constant rate that you decide. Envelope changes the phase whenever your signal passes the specified threshold. The plugin accepts a side chain input for this control method. Remote maps the phasing control to a modwheel for tactile manipulation. Features Add Age for component drift and electrical leakage in your phaser Offers three different flavors of phasing with the Mode switch: Shallow, Deep, and Wide Utilize one of four distinct methods to control the phasing Depth allows you to combine the phased signal with the dry signal Added Side Chain function allows you to trigger the Envelope Follower from a separate source in the mix for inter-track mingling Exercise total control of the Oscillator with Sync and Retrig controls Use Feedback control for a more pronounced sound Includes standard gain input and output

If you haven't checked out Precedence you should - at the moment it's my favorite spacial placement/manipulation plugin. Try the plugin or listen to the audio demos. It can add life / movement to a track without being overbearing or obnoxious. Also it can work with Breeze 2 to also control verb and image placement - at the moment the connection between the 2 is kinda wonky (i.e. manual connection required) but the upcoming Jan update is supposed to seamlessly link them . Just a reminder that this sale has a hard stop of Jan 19th (not sure if that means that sale runs until or through Saturday). The sale has already been extended once and 2cAudio says they won't extend it again. Also per creator 2cAudio: There's a huge thread about it on KVR Direct link to 2cAudio Precedence page (audio examples and demo download): https://2caudio.com/products/precedence#_Overview Note: If you're a first time 2cAudio customer I can get you a $20 referral discount (so example for Precedence that would be $59 instead of $79 ). Send me a PM - I'll need your full name and email address to plug into my 2cAudio account to make it work. Pardon the self promotion.

The 12 Tone/Roland/Gibson Cakewalk forum is dead, long live the Bandlab Cakewalk forum! It has been confirmed that the old forum breathes no more.. Aye, new posts shall never more land on that fair territory once so familiar and precious to us. Let us contemplate a moment on our fallen yet archived posts then raise a glass in toast to this new forum as we face to meet the future head on!
