Hmm...it was released as freeware on github. One month later the next version was no longer free. And since then it now costs minimum 2 euro for everyone that don't know how to build an installer from sourcecode.

It makes me feel uncomfortable and, sorry to say, feels a little bit like extortion. Low cost but nevertheless extortion.

I like the idea but is unsure if i would ever use it because Cakewalk handles my plugins very good.

Yea, i'm an old whining fart. Sorry about that.

It exists as a midifx. Not resizable tiny tiny gui. Is the thingy to the left in the window supposed to be a fret?

The Online Chord Analyser also had this function where you could change the unpressed strings from silent to sounding. That changes the sound when strumming and is important.

If you like the sound of a certain finger pattern you're playing on your guitar, copy it into this Online Chord Analyser and it will give you some suggestions for the name/s of the chord/s.

 

Hey! 🤩

If it had a save button and it saved the chord as a midifile it would fit my description (almost (added)) perfectly. 👍

It hit me that it can be another explanation to it.

Usually we don't check our routers settings. Up until something goes wrong, then we check it.

When the installation went wrong. Did you then go to the routers settings and check if you could see something wrong there?

When you saw the attempt to hack your router, did you check the date it was made?

There's spiders out there that constantly scans the web in search for vulnerable devices to hack in to.

Once you've selected Chords above the Staff, a white area will appear. Clicking in it where you want your chord always starts with 'C'. Right-click the C and that will open the chord library and you can select any chord from it and the 'C' will change to that chord.
Drawing the chord on the fretboard will not show you a diagram in the Chords area, but you can find that chord in the library and add it.
To keep from having to navigate the library every time you want to add a chord, if the chord is already in your song, clicking on it will select to be drawn in again elsewhere. Otherwise, when you click in the white area it will always add the last chord you selected.

Thanks. I knew there where a fretboard but didn't knew all of that. I'll test it out.

The idea as always is to be lazy.

I see how i hold my fingers when i play in real life and finding that chord in a picture in the plugin should save a lot of time getting my real life chords down to midi and played with a guitar virtual instrument.

Just letting you know i've observed your post. Nice to think of me and you can't know that's out of my pricerange.

The gelato makes me hungry...

Or it's a virus on your local machine piggybacking on the webinstall request. Trying to get a load from its server to install on your router.

A thorough viruscheck maybe?

As a guitarplayer i recognize the chord if i see a picture of it as dots on a fretboard. Looking at a name of a chord doesn't ring any bells. I'm selftaught and never bothered with theory.

Is there a plugin that gives you those chord pictures and lets you drag the chord from the picture to a miditrack and creates the midinotes for it?

I'm a sucker for guitar plugins at good prices but...

This is an old plugin and it shows in the quality of the audio. It's too far from convincing guitar sounds.

The basic idea is fine. If they got it to sound more like real guitars it could very well have a second round as a top seller.

The sample library should be renewed.

I miss a convincing flute. Metallic transverse flute. Sopran or alt.

Thanks.

I was too late when i saw it last time.

Another workaround is the midi tab in the inspector. Under the arpeggio there is this "key" and "time". Set the key to 12 to transpose up 1 octave, 24 for 2 octaves.

I don't know If this setting is persistent for a project. I just stumbled upon it when i tested related things.

Added: This means that all notes entering this track is transposed. And each track can have its own transposition.

There's also sites with free icons.

This is one of them: https://iconarchive.com/tag/audio-daw

It kind of sounds as the window asking if you want to save the project before closing is hidden and waits for an answer.

"I have win7 with update problem" means a problem with updating Win 7. At least according to the way English works.

At any rate,  not only does MS no longer support W7, neither does CbB.

Now you switch from talking about update to talking about support. I know about no support.

Instead of defending yourself, just admit you made a boo-boo. 🥰

Clicking "Run Cal" after selecting the midi track only brings up the OPEN browser from the Local C disk, Cal scripts folder.

It seems correct so far. The full path should be C/Cakewalk Content/Cakewalk Core/CAL Scripts.

The first file in my folder is named "ANY_THIN.CAL"

The last file is named "VARYVEL.CAL"

There is no midifiles in my CAL scripts folder.

Citation from promidi in old Sonar forum.

You could also try "split Channel to Tracks.CAL"

Here is how to do it.

Load your midi file (or import it) and select just that track.
Go to Process menu and click "Run Cal".  A file dialog box will open.  Hopefully the file "split Channel to Tracks.CAL" is listed there. Open that and it will ask you for the first destination track and the MIDI file should be distributed to the various tracks, starting at your destination track.

Try to save it as a type 1 midi file and then reopen it.

There are no more updates for W7.

C'mon now!

This forum is about Cakewalk and updates to it. How can you miss that?

In the Cakewalk browser. The media tab. Highlight the midifile. Look att the bottom frame and you can see information about the file. If it says midi type 0 it behaves as it should. That midi type act as you describe. It has to be a midifile type 1 to open several tracks.

I have win7 with update problem and it will be interesting to see, six months from now, if i am able to authorize Cakewalk.

I'll stop trying to update it and see what happens.

1. Check this out:

2. If you uninstall Cakewalk by Bandlab and the Bandlab Assistant it seems, for now, that you can start from scratch by using BA to install CbB.

I got the feeling that manually closing the daw before installing update was something that happened as long as Bandlab Assistant handled the installation.

The latest updates, since disconnecting from BA, don't need you to close the daw manually.

As Daniel mentioned in the video, there are more "magic" words to discover.

Daniel's list (from Kurre):

Rock / triggers the sunburst les paul guitar
Mixing, Basic / trigger the speaker image
Piano, Keys / trigger the grand piano image
Mastering / triggers the gold album image
Drums / trigger the drum set image
Orchestration, Bass / trigger the violin,viola and cello image     (orchestra)
Synth / triggers the synthesizer image

What I found in addition with defaults:

Guitar Amps, Metal = Amps
Electronic, Dance, Techno, Trance = synthesizer
Guitar, Pop, Jazz, Blues = les paul
Acoustic, Song = acoustic guitar
Rap, HipHop = boombox
Vocals, Singer = microphone

If 2 trigger words are used, alphabetical order takes precedence for which image is used.
It also seems if part of a  word contains a trigger word, like songwriter, it will display that image. 
Extra points to anyone who finds triggers for the 4 and 16 track icons, if there are any. 

Ok. It was a magic word - song -

After i did the howto i let go of start screen icons. I found out that my focus is on the filename using file menu and not the icon/image. I've turned off the start screen.

I can not turn off my curiosity though.
