I used to assign them with my own numbers: OUT 1 & 2, OUT 3 & 4, etc. The only way I can do that is if I have them all "OUT" and let CbB assign the numbers. Also, I would want ADAT 1 & 2 to be ADAT 1 & 2 not to be assigned ADAT 9 & 10. If I name outputs the way I used to, I get redundant duplication. As far as not knowing where I was assigning something, I kept track of my hardware routing. Honestly, I never understood why so many people got confused that port 1 was a stereo pair for what might be called 1 and 2, etc. For me, I just numbered them myself as friendly names. But I can live with being forced to have good habits. I would rather that ADAT 1 and 2 be called ADAT 1 and 2 not numbered 9 and 10. But I can live with it. Was just hoping there could be an option to not have the automatic numbers added.

RE: Improved input/output port naming . . . If this is the way its supposed to be, I can get used to it, but I am wondering if it is possible to have an option to suppress the new automatic numbering when we choose to use friendly names.

If the alleged legacy apps improvement makes my PCI audio card work the way it did a few Windows 10 updates ago, bring on Windows 11!!!! Maybe we will have options like: [ ] It used to work under Windows 10 v. 1809 . Maybe all the Compatibility Telemetry activity over the past year or two will be put to good use with the release of Windows 11.

In a section of the forum designed to give feedback to the makers of Cakewalk, a fellow user requested some changes to make the Audio and MIDI tabs in the Inspector easier to see. Since I am an explorer by nature who now has age-related vision issues, I did a quick test of concept. For other users who might want to customize their own tabs based on vision (or other) needs, they are indeed tweakable.

Ooops. Wrong sub-forum. My bad.

I remember feeling this way back in November (hence my minimalist initial reply back then and my subsequent choice not to engage in a the discussion of others) and I still agree that any discussion of the possible benefits of a midi data flow chart within Cakewalk belongs in its own thread. I am surprised that no one opened up a discussion in another thread or put in a request between then and now. (I thought I had, but I might have decided not to.) As for me, I decided months ago to give up on the idea that the remote control functionality in the Inspector-based Arpeggiator would either be explained or fixed. But this is not the thread to discuss that issue. I was just offering a simple example off the top of my head as to where a midi signal flow might be helpful.

You might not understand but that doesn't mean that others wouldn't find it useful. There are problems in CbB because the flow of MIDI data doesn't seem to work in some circumstances and for those of us who haven't given up, it would be helpful to know what CbB is doing with MIDI data under the hood. One example: MIDI Remote Control doesn't work with the Inspector-based Arpeggiator. It would be nice to see the alleged flow to determine if its a bug or if CbB is doing something that users don't know about.

The one to the problem that was discussed over a year ago? IIRC there were some changes to the Staff View since then, so perhaps the original issue has been resolved.

F1 should bring up the *.chm file, though it might pop up behind another window. Or, if you have a third-party tool that can filter a file list, search for vel*.chm. Another thread that might have useful info: Turn off Velocity Sensitivity. I just ran a quick test of the Cakewalk Velocity MFX with TTS-1 just to make sure it affects volume. I split the Instrument Track into its MIDI and audio components, put the Velocity MFX on the MIDI track (in the track's FX bin), and recorded both midi and audio with the settings that were there. (See image.) Low velocities and high velocities sounded very close to my ears. If necessary (based on what you want to do), you might need to tweak the settings per the help file if the plug-in meets your needs. Since I recorded the audio through the Velocity MFX Plug-in, the loudness has been corrected based on the settings. However, the MIDI track is as I played it (with low and high velocities). With the plug-in on, all notes sound at the same level to my ears. If I turn the plug-in off, I hear the notes as played (softer and louder notes). Hope this helps. Clarification: Based on the following, I don't think the settings I used is the ideal solution you want. Also, I am not sure that you can use the plug-in by itself to adjust for different levels across your keyboard in real time (if that's what you need). That's why I referenced the Help file.

Have you tried this? [MTuner]

(1) These manuals? (2) Is the automap guide applicable? I have plain old MIDI interfaces with multiple ports and they show up as numbered ports. Is it possible that the ports are for user configuration and not specially dedicated to certain functions? If so, perhaps the automap utility is just a tool for helping users to set up the flexible MIDI ports?

Thanks for mentioning this. I saw previously owned "instruments" got reset for a new round of 180 days, but had no idea the files were changed. Did you compare the sizes of the unzipped files or just the zip files?

I haven't used Mobius in like a decade; so I am not sure what newer versions look like and I forgot how to use even the old version, but let me ask: Are your plug-ins VST2 or VST3? If VST3, try the VST2 versions. This might not be the solution you need, but if I had the issues you described, that's the first thing I'd check. Hope its that easy of a solution. If not, maybe some others here have more current experience with Mobius. UPDATE: I just looked it up and if its the same Mobius I was thinking of, it looks like same software I used a decade ago on an XP PC, probably with SONAR X1. (The copyright date on the site says 2011!) If the software itself hasn't been updated since then, you might want to consider newer looping software--unless others here have gotten it to work properly more recently.

A year or so ago I was exploring an issue related to this IIRC. I remember doing an awful lot of trial-and-error testing to try to see what was going on mainly because I have had successes with my Workspaces set up for two monitors. I seem to recall the specific issue you are mentioning, but I don't recall if there was a "solution." I seem to recall confirming somethings. If I am remembering this correctly, maybe the previous discussion will at least confirm the issue. I will look for it. Found the thread I had in mind. I will try to re-read the thread this evening to see if it relates to your current issue.

See also this discussion. I agree that it would be handy if the MIDI display filter showed all MIDI strips and likewise that it would be handy to be able to show only the audio portion of hybrid audio+midi tracks. I disagree with the original statement in this thread that [Since Track 4, a MIDI track] . . . does not give audio out. . . . . "we don't need to see it in the console view." If the 4th option can be implemented, that sounds like it would add flexibility for all users.

Looks like there are plenty of options for people wanting to get in on Cherry Audio deals. I did a Google search for June sales and one of many hits was for KVR-- where they have the upgrade from Voltage Modular Ignite to VM Core + Electro Drums for $25.** I assume other vendors have sales, too. So, just saying look around to assemble your own best deals and upgrade paths. Note: I am relatively new to shopping for deals (1 year +/-); just passing this on. **EDIT: See another upgrade deal immediately below.

The first time I read this it sounded like the alternate suggestion being made was for something like what we have with track control management but for individual tracks and buses as opposed to types of strips (like we have already). At least that's what I initially thought. And if that's the case and we had the ability to choose from available options which widgets were on specific/individual strips/tracks/buses, maybe it would be possible to call an inserted bus something like "MY FINAL MASTER BUS" and choose which widgets it has (as many or as few as you want) As for delete/hide/disable, perhaps there could be a possibility of showing (greyed out) non-enabled widgets which could be re-enabled with a right click or something or not shown at all. Peace.

How are you recording notes when this happens? Mouse clicks? Using a soft synth? Using a virtual controller? With an external MIDI/usb controller? etc. Also, what Inputs do you have selected for the specific track you are recording on when this happens?

This ^^^^ is what prompted me to take a serious look and I don't regret that I could have waited for an additional 15% discount with the GROUP discount. The bundle definitely appeals to the sonic explorer in me. Explored some things with the eFeMerizer a few days ago, and now the BiQuad Filter. As a big fan of delay effects, PSP's Delay has much to offer my sonic taste buds. There are so many decent modules in there, its hard to imagine virtual modular enthusiasts not finding at least half a dozen personally useful ones, maybe even a dozen (or more) favorites.

I don't do this, but I did test it several years ago, possibly with several different methods/plug-ins. IIRC for Sonitus I followed the steps here. (Or it might have been another of his articles.) Its been a while and there are others here who can probably look at what you've done and diagnose what you are doing. In the meantime, maybe Craig Anderton's SOS article will provide some insights. Just tried to reconstruct what I had done and it is not happening.

I participated in this thread. There are probably other threads, too. I suggest reading them before doing an impulse purchase.

To mix the levels of the tracks. ADDENDUM: If you only have one MIDI track, you probably don't need to adjust the level. But let's say you have more than one midi track, you can adjust the level of each track in the console. Hope that makes sense to you. Here's something I was listening to earlier, so it was handy. Multiple MIDI tracks mixed into one soft synth. Also works for hardware synths. There are other uses but I think these cases are the easiest to help answer your question. PS: Perhaps I should add that in addition to setting relative levels the other mixing/console features also work on MIDI tracks (mute, solo, pan, etc.).

I have a number of the . . . -64 FX that used to come with SONAR because I installed Bandlab's Cakewalk while I still had versions of SONAR installed. Cakewalk detected those and automatically made them accessible. FWIW, I tested all of them and IIRC, at least one of them was very sluggish. Not sure if it was a setting on my PC or what. I just did a quickie MIDI test of the TS-64 and on my PC there is a very noticeable delay from the time a note is played on a usb keyboard and the sound emerges from the TS-64. Playing back tracks it doesn't seem to have such a delay if there is any at all. To test I duplicated a short bassline to a track with the TS-64 removed and played both simultaneously. Maybe its not included because there is a problem with the plugin on some PCs? Just a guess.

Some people might use it. I agree as was discussed in another thread there should be an OPTION not to show MIDI tracks, but for some users not having the ability to show MIDI tracks in the console would be problem.
