  1. I always used Cakewalk's Process/Transpose functions (and sometimes CAL) to actually reassign the MIDI notes to new values or just manually dragging selections around in the Piano Roll view, never messed with Kontakt's transpose functions (actually never even thought about actually transposing the pitches in Kontakt). After awhile I started putting MIDI data like key switching, program changes, Automation (volume, panning, etc.) on a separate track so I could mute it if needed or to aid in trouble shooting WSH (weird shit happening) or unplanned instrument changes (artist: I don't really like that flute can you make that a trumpet/sax/synth?) wrecking carefully crafted automation. That discussion led me to an idea that the Cakewalk's articulations transpose function (MIDI transform) should avoid transposing to any note that has already an articulation assigned. Or do we have it already implemented?

    Windows 11

    Not exactly. I upgraded about 2 years ago and been mostly disappointed since. Didn't notice it's more "snappy" most users praised it, I had never problem with keeping my Win7 snappy for about 10 years, and XP for another 10 before, this was surely up to user because I've experienced many of my friends XPs sluggish beyond sense. Yes, when's Win10 working it's fine, but just for another couple months before something breaks with another feature update, I just had it broken and see now there's another big one waiting. Mind you this is on almost fresh install and I'm using it only for music purpose, not fiddling with settings either to keep it default. I could turn off upgrading but I decided to do it solely for compatibility reasons but really starting loosing the point. Pretty sure Win11 won't be any better. YMMV

  4. What would be your use cases for the TE-100?
  5. Here's what my household said after my most recent overnight GAS RELEASE: enough is enough!
  6. Was wondering what could it be. Maybe Greg could just give us a hint (and trouble waters even more) ?
  7. I see there's also METAWAVE free with signup to newsletter below.
  8. Let's do not rip the garments before GB end ? If you're right however, who's gonna then avenge me...?? ????
  9. Aaaaand... we're at 50% now ?
  10. So they (Microsoft) broke my working just fine, meticulously installed software with another forced update. But the new huge console with weather, news, traffic, interests and what not, is working without problem (and taking all the resources I tried to save for plugins) despite I had no interest in it at all and didn't ask for it. Bummer. If only I knew where to look for it in services so I could take it down for good!
  11. As of today I have officially become full kontakt certified ??
  12. 1. Envelopes are easier to work with but more prone to crash (often it's plugin fault) and have their own quirks. 2. Working with MIDI events usually means more drudgery as we don't have the best toolset to work with CC (not the worst either). In the recent versions of Cakewalk you have better MIDI CC<>envelopes conversion options.
  13. also I didn't mean to put our resident fellow TheSteven in any type of bad light, your answer makes a perfect sense, I just remembered my own perplexity and wanted to share what I know to clear things out and for future reference
  14. of course, none of those, if you're not sure then best thing to do is to put item in the cart like you did, you can cancel after the countdown finished. I did initially plan to buy only 2 libraries but I ended up buying an extra one because the deal reached 60% and was too good to pass, everyone wins BTW we're just 3 participants from 40%
  15. I think this part of the terms, the wording used here, was the most confusing to me as well. Absolutely! ?
  16. "committing" in this case means leaving any item in the GB cart during countdown, nothing more you can then delete, change or add items, all in all we are there to buy stuff at the best discount, as long as you keep at least one item till the GB end time (countdown) you will get your discount back anytime you're changing the order later during the extra time for accomplishing your order (about a month or so) that's what Greg said when I emailed him with the doubts
  17. You're loosing nothing getting into the group buy, there's no risk at all as you can edit your choice even after the GB end anyway. In fact you're loosing at least a chance when not participating. LOL I just had a righteous amount of sleep and re-read my post again. I think I know now why I did say what I did say. About 2 or 3 years ago when I was about taking part in my first OTS gb and I had some doubts, one of them exactly the same as you was asking. The other was: I remember that I wanted to buy some libraries but I was just starting a new job at that time and had no idea if I'll have the money on time before the GB time ends or not so I was very uncertain whether I should get in or not, then I've got confusing answers, someone on kvr even contacted me by PM saying that I'm obligated and he knows it - I have no doubts his intention was to be helpful. So I got by email personally with Greg, the owner, and he kindly clarified all things. You *ARE NOT* obligated to buy anything, but to ensure your discount at the gb end time you just need to put anything in and keep it there until the clock finished. So I have read your question about chances for 60% and instantly got it as a doubts whether you should take a seat or not, and to clarify things I said yes you should, just in case... UNLESS... all you were really asking was what are the chances to get the full 60% ?

  19. This is the one to go for guys
  20. Anytime. Mine just took me by surprise (it was from 1909 to 20...something) and broke many plugins and apps. Since then I did repair most of them but a few of less importance are still left broken as I ran out of attitude. To me it's a pita.
  21. Yesterday, in order to get rid of a returning nag screen, I finally clicked "OK" and let my smart TV update it's OS. Since then one of my favorite feature is gone, for no apparent reason they either ditched it or messed up. I see it becoming a modern world standard: "we just added some new features you probably don't need... oh by the way we screwed some of your favorites". Bad times. Sorry for off topic.
  22. There are some GUI issues with Ujam in Cakewalk so it might be it. For example the GUI partially stops working after messing with tempo changes in control bar in Cakewalk. I've been in contact with support and they acknowledge the issues but not going to focus on a fix as long as they'll find Cakewalk userbase too small. On other issues not Cakewalk related they've always been great though.
  23. Updated just recently to v1.0.1. New algorithm has much clearer sound.
