Cool. I have all the amps and cabs as part of a Total Studio Bundle, but maybe with this, Custom Shop will have a check mark for SVX2 instead of telling me I don't have the Collection. Trying to figure out what I had for GB25 was overly complicated because I had to compare all the collections with what I already had. Confirmed: Custom Shop now shows a check mark. 🙂

I don't know how it is on phones, but on a PC Ctrl + mousewheel will resize my browser. In Chrome, each webpage can have a different size scaling. Maybe it's the same on Android phones?

Is that Windows 11? I tried scanning from the Plugin Manager and it looks very different. I have rectangular frames with non-rounded corners. Also, when I started scanning the interior boxes (vst path/name frame and the Cancel button frame) were black / grey, but when I moved the dialog box, the interior frames became blue. Then when the scan was doing a WaveShell plugin, the Windows mouse pointer turned into the rotating yellow/brown Waves animated icon. I'm using Win 10 Pro. Not sure this sheds any light on why you are getting the size changes, but maybe it helps point to something that might be going on.

I installed Next on an old PC last night. It doesn't support OpenGL 2. I had the start screen, but the main display was a black rectangle. I could right click to see menu options, but couldn't see anything else. Thanks for the P shortcut tip! This morning I switched Display from OpenGL Renderer (recommended) to Software Renderer mode. Perfect timing!!!!

WOW. I just realized I hadn't watched any of his videos in quite a while. I really like the ones where he lambasted corporate copyright holders who routinely made his life miserable even though the artists themselves had no issues with him giving praise (and attention) to their music. I also really like the extended interviews I saw.

Yup--using tape and tape decks never had any issues at all---NOT!!!!!!! Should we start compiling a list of all the bugs inherent in using tape and tape decks? Sorry, but saying there were "almost no bugs" is just plain wrong. IMHO!

I'd be happy if we could just reorder the tabs in the multidock. Having multiple multidock presets that could be saved and loaded would be cool, too. If it could be tied in with Workspaces so different Workspaces could have different sets of multiple multidocks now that would be amazing!

OH. Maybe you want to quickly browse through the preset lists. I get it now. I thought you wanted to go through and quickly listen to each of the presets themselves. But this ^^^ makes me think you are talking about quickly listening to TTS-1's presets. Maybe you need just a little bit on understanding about how MIDI works. You shouldn't need to assign buttons on your controller or assign anything special in CbB. This makes me think you are using the + and - buttons on your controller as a Control Surface. On my controllers, when I push the Program button, the controllers go into a mode where pressing the + and - on the controller, MIDI Patch Change commands get set out to CbB. Maybe you have your controller and CbB setup differently. If you want to test to see if my method works, you could record a midi track and press the Program button, followed by several presses of the + button. On my PC, the track will have little Preset markers on the midi track. p1 p2 p3 p 4 I just tried to find the manual for your controller and I see that the controller has Control Surface Templates. Maybe those change how the + and - buttons work. So maybe they don't work the same way my controllers work. Just found the manual. See pages 50-51.

Not a lot of settings/steps. It is 2 buttons on my controller. (1) Program (2) +. Super simple. I explained a lot because it is so simple, I figured you needed all the steps. But it might be that you have no experience using MIDI. Or maybe you just like going through menus with a mouse. If so, that's a matter of preference, not complexity. Some people prefer buttons, knobs, sliders, keys, pedals, etc. Other people prefer moving a mouse around. Not sure about the controller you have. UPDATE: I looked at the image of the Roland Edirol PCR - M50. There's a Program Change Button, a DEC Button, and an INC Button. I would be very surprised if those do not send midi data to CbB, but I have no experience with that controller.

Thanks for all the comments. I have downloaded some free banks from other places (no names), and have been unimpressed. On the other hand, I have purchased banks for Pigments from Lufstrum and Alba Ecstasy (as I have written about in other posts) and for my purposes have found those to have a high number of very usable presets. It sounds like these (☝️) are worth looking into. 🙂

(1) What controller? (2) Do you have a link to the controller's manual? On two different controllers, I press a button that says "Program" and then use the + and - keys. On a MIDI track, I can record Program Changes by going into Program mode and pressing the + and - keys, Your controller might be different. I then route the MIDI track to a synths (hardware or software). If the synth responds to Program Changes, the patch/preset changes. I can edit the Program Changes in Cakewalk's Event List. I can also enter Program Changes manually in the Event List. To preview sounds on a synth I can record a MIDI track and press the + button 128 times (on the beat or not) to record 128 Program Changes. From there I add the TTS1 and make sure the MIDI track with the 128 Program Changes is pointed to (routed to) the TTS1. So, to preview a synth's presets, I play notes or chords on a usb keyboard / controller and let the MIDI file change the presets. If necessary, I can pause the playback and then use the + / - buttons (with the controller in Program mode) to manually change the presets. NOTES: My controllers don't know what Cakewalk last set the Program Change to, so I usually have to start from whatever Program Chane the controller last used. As I understand it, newer controllers might (and newer softsynths) might work differently, for example using an + or - index rather than specific Program Change values. That's why you should check your controller's manual. Hope this helps.

$#!+ Why did you have to remind me today is FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH?!?!?!?!?!? Creeps me out. 😜 My aunt lived in NYC on the 14th floor--the one right after the 12th floor. We used to watch the numbers go by through the gate the elevator man opened and closed. Not that my aunt was creepy; she wasn't at all. But ever since my older brother pointed out that there were no 13th floor in buildings, I figured there must be a reason. ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH. 🤪

I see they also have this: https://vstalarm.com/product/analog-lab-bundle-vol-2-by-audio-juice/ I have no experience with this company and their products. Any one have these? Any opinions about the company/presets? From the demos, the sound good, but I know that sometimes demos don't tell the full story. Also, they are for Analog Lab V, but from what I see there is no list of what instruments they use. Thanks for any details if anyone has experience with these.

If you read between the lines of a previous post, you might have seen I carefully avoided saying this. Why? Because I don't want them to take that away, too. My fault: I thought about reposting that ^^^, but decided to edit it instead. Oh, just to be clear it is safe to assume that in saying "to cash in those codes" I know it refers to my using them for myself, giving them away, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me. See also this: I think it was clear that I knew the difference between licenses and codes. In fact, I think it was clear to anyone who read the posts. kitekrazy wrote: which is not true.

YUP: See this:

Are you sure about that last part? I was under the impression that the new NFR policy covered transfers of any kind--selling, giving away, leaving to heirs, etc. Google Cherry Audio Goes NFR. It was even discussed here:

I am now officially an old man. My kids are not interested in making music and I can't take them with me! Yup--It IS all a matter of perspective. 😉 I just hope I have enough time left to master all my Melda Plugins--including the reverb!

Are you 100% sure the product lineup and pricing structure will be consistent with the year-end Synth Stack sale of the past couple of years?

CLAP!!!!! I see that Full Bucket Music makes CLAP versions of their plugins. Might be good to get a demo version of Reaper just to try out CLAP. The last demo version I had was probably 8-10 years ago. Not sure what the "CLAP: round MIDI velocity values returned from plugins " fix is all about. Maybe the fix is related to this: Personally, I don't use velocities below 9, but it's good to know about if this is indeed what the fix was about.

Not sure about your question. I assume that since you are selling the keys which have not yet been registered, it probably doesn't run afoul of CA's NFR policy. From what I have read people are allowed to buy codes from 3rd party vendors to give as gifts to people since CA doesn't have any gifting mechanism with purchases from their store. I am curious if it doesn't run afoul of the forum rules. I might want to offer up my unused keys from my April bundle. BTW, after hearing so much good stuff about Mixcraft, I tried the key for that. Having been a long-time Cakewalk user, I can't see ever using Mixcraft 9 or paying to upgrade it.

I don't think you can use the past as any sort of guide. Several months ago, CA adopted a NFR policy (you own it, you can't give it away). My feeling at the time was the giving away of products for charity-oriented bundles might impact the way Synth Stack loyalty updates would be priced. For example, given that 9 products were basically given away for the bundles, would those products have the same loyalty value as the same products purchased at the market rate? Or would they be revamping the Synth Stack product and pricing structure entirely? JMO: If you don't have any of these and you like them, $20 is a very good price. If you don't plan on using them at all but just want to have them in case the Winter Synth Stack is like previous years and having these 4 might give you a better discount than not having them, a $20 gamble now might pay off. BTW, of the 4, Eight Voice is my favorite. If you want to demo it (or any of the others), you can do that before making a decision on the bundle.

Obviously this is true for some people and false for others. If you really love rotary encoders, I would encourage you to build your own with as many encoders as you want. There's tons of info available on DYI projects to be found. And, it's easier to drill holes for rotary encoders than sliders!!!

FYI, Just in terms of Cherry Audio Synths, this one has different CA stuff than the Level Up! Music Creators Power Pack Humble Bundle from April: April's Bundle included: CA2600,** Voltage Modular Ignite,** Memorymode**, P-20, and Galactic Reverb** . This Bundle includes: Eight Voice, Mercury-4, DCO-106, and Polymode. **I have18 days to decide to cash in those codes. The only one I don't have is the Galactic Reverb (not that I need another reverb.)
