    I couldn't get his to work? Any tips. I downloaded, un zipped and copied all the folder content into my VST folder. I can open the VST and change patches but no sound is generated. I tried 2 computers. I tried Omni as input, I tried the virtual controller, It says it dose not use samples so it can't be a missing library?  

    I downloaded and install a bunch of VST's and all of those work just fine. Just this one. All tested in a Blank Project latest W10 and Cakewalk. 

    It turned out i had downloaded it to a folder but never installed it.

    I now have it installed and got the same silent behaviour as you.

    Got it to sound by clicking on the bagpipe image. And by changing the keyswitch under it i could find a keyboard key that affected it.

    I got it. 🏆 Clicking the image OR using the keyswitch turns the air/sound on and off. The chanter to the left of the image have to be on. The led should be orange. The notes used is very high up to the right on my keyboard so i missed them first because i normally play from the middle down left. I like low tones.

    The drones led should also be orange and on.

    Hey Kurre. I didn't mean I posted to the CH and it ended up here. I was in the CH prior to coming here and the general tomfoolery of that forum rubbed off on me.
    And I do like bagpipes... for awhile.

    Ok, thanks. I like bagpipes and have the quilcom one. Hard to fit them in a song though.

    Sorry. Was in the Coffee House.

    Do you know how it came to be that way?

    I made a topic in feedback that ended here and had to be moved back to feedback. I never understood how that could happen.

    It differs in one is a post and the other a topic but what could the common cause be?

    Did you try downloading the demo using the Jamstix 4 Manager? https://www.rayzoon.com/rayzoon_downloads.html 

    I have full Jamstix with all expansions and the Jamstix Manager works reliably for me (Windows 10).  
    I am running 4.5.0 Beta 1 which seems pretty reliable so far and the previous non-beta was also fine (you can enable beta installs in the Jamstix Manager under Install Options).

     

     

    No, i just wanted a quick test. To install extra software to get a demo song is one more against.

    Nor did i like that the drums listed all kits. It was confusing. I only want to see the kits that exists as samples and can be chosen.

    It was stable on my win8.1 so that's not the problem.

    And the pattern window? I sincerely hope that users of jamstix can produce a better view of that. It was pitiful in the startscreen.

    Added. I like the song window where you put your intro, verse, chorus patterns to make a song.

  5. I tested the free version.

    Nothing loaded as default. Couldn't get a sound out of it from scratch.

    Couldn't find a preset that loaded a kit and a pattern that i could listen to.

    I could easily find a animated 3d room. Empty of course.

    At some time i tested jamstix 2 and i liked it.

    I don't like this version 4. They seem to think that a 3d view of the drums is something essential to drum software. Dumbfers.

  6. Maybe some don't understand fully...

    An offline computer is frozen in time. It doesn't change in any way and it doesn't update.

    The version of the operative system doesn't matter because when you first put it all together with daw and periferals and it works, then it's always a working daw computer as long as it's offline.

    An image of that computer makes it live for ever because it allows you to replace faulty hardware and start it up again. (As long as the motherboard works. Having a second mb of the same model fixes that problem.)

    The unanswered question is: Are the development team considering this. Will the authorization set aside what version Cakewalk has and make it activated no matter how old the version is?

    If the authorization is used for statistics only, as suggested in other posts, it could be done with a nag screen a la Reaper to mail a zipfile. Cakewalk make that file with statistics it need and give a link to it in the nag screen. This way it no longer needs to deactivate saving or anything else.

    Mr Fra  is a Windows 7 hold out. To me if you have decided there’s something evil about W10 then you better be prepared for the day that you can’t install anything anymore. 

    I get irritated when i read this win10 fanboy shit.

    There is no indication that the os version has anything to do with this!

    I use win7, win8.1 and win10. All work fine with Cakewalk.

    Vittorio Fra should make an os image. Then he can always go back to a functional state as long as his pc hardware hold together. Win7 can make an image of itself without third party software.

    THX. First though I want to try to find some earlier version online. I think that would be the fastest way to restore my  projects and MO. If that doesn't work I'll follow your suggestions. THX again.

    There is only one way to go back to an earlier version and that is to use the "rollback installer".

    You find it in the early access threads. Each early access has its own rollback installer.

    In theory you should be able to go back one step at the time with the rollback installers until you reach the oldest version of Cakewalk.

    That's lot of work and i doubt it would work without a hitch.

    The Cakewalk Web Installer is much easier and safer than editing the registry.

    It allows running the add-on installers as often as necessary.

    Well...you see, i doublechecked my facts by searching on this forum. There's one more user that have problem with missing Cakewalk instrument and using the web installer without success. So i gave him some options.

    Vittorio Fra have unusual symptoms and it could possible be a whole other thing that's the problem. Virus software as Defender. Read and write permissions on files and folders. And more...

    Thanx. I've installed it but it gives me the same troubles I had before plus other ones (it doesn't play the cakewalk drum kit, says I've removed it). .Wouldn't it be possible to get an older version? Thanks again.

    The Studio Instruments installer puts files in three locations. The default location for  these files are:
    Folders for each plug-in under "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Studio Instruments" for documentation, resources and samples
    Folders for each plug-in under "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins" for the plug-in dlls
    Folders for each plug-in under "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Studio Instruments" for patterns and programs

    If you feel confident using the registry. Try remove all entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Installers from the registry and run webinstaller again. Maybe the webinstaller doesn't ignore that registry setting after all.

    The only thing with windows 7 and Cakewalk addons is that you don't get Melodyne installed any longer because it's win 10 only.

    (I think. Haven't tested to move an audiofile to a miditrack. Only know the web installer refused to install it.)

    Hi. I've used Cakewalk for a year, have recorded 9 songs. Then the other day I had the bad idea of removing it from the PC and install it again as the update system didn't reintegrate some features I had at the beginning as a user. I did  but I had problems of latency as both mic and midi keyboard were late so I removed it again but now the install button doesn't appear anymore: only the update one. Which is useless because it finds nothing to update. I presume my problem is with my version of windows (7). But when 2 days ago I reinstalled the program a message appeared which allowed me to install though telling I might have had some problems. I'd like to know whether I have to install a new version of Windows (which I won't certainly do, as I am going to go update only when my PC will break down) and lose access to my files or shall I have to move to another DAW from now on? THX

    Earlier in this thread you have a link to the web installer. Use that. It doesn't have the same problems with registry that the old and defunct Bandlab assistant.

  12. One other thing to try would be to import to a miditrack and route the output to the vsti track.

    Then in the inspector of the vsti track you can transpose incoming notes by semitones.

    It's the "key" under the arpeggio settings.

  13. If you have a saved project, open it up and see what happens.

    Can you open the startscreen and select the basic template? What happens then?

    You could also in  the workspace list change to "none".

    Maybe delete "Cakewalk.ini" or "aud.ini" or "ttsseq.ini". These files get recreated by Cakewalk if they are missing. Sometimes that help if something in one of them gets corrupted. These three initialization files are stored in the following folder:

    %AppData%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core

    BUT Before making any changes to any of the .ini files, you should make a backup copy in case you make a mistake.
