  1. I am not logged in to my account; not sure what prices people are seeing; it might be worth checking out the current sales and discounts page.
  2. I gave up trying to sync SONAR/Cakewalk to a hardware BPM sequencer (Proteus 2500). It worked somewhat, but took too much effort. That's part of it. Also, I found that having more than one project loaded even if I was only working on one at a time was a major problem! I tracked that down, but don't remember all the details. I seem to recall I had projects with different sync or metronome settings. Not 100% sure. Just mentioning the details that I remember in case you really want to try to make it happen. Not sure if I wrote up any of the experiences. I do remember a discussion from 2-3 years ago where I had timing bytes issues when trying to coordinate synchronization. IIRC that involved P2500 --> SONAR/Cakewalk --> other BPM gear. Not sure if you are attempting anything like that, too.
  3. Perfect timing. I was just looking at the Kontakt Player manual and choosing either Player or Komplete Start (which includes the player). Considering that my workflow is so ingrained with the E-Mu experience (hardware more so, software to a lesser extent) it seems like I would be frustrated trying to use Kontakt as a substitute. I have experience with the hardware and E-Mu sysex and can often find ways of doing things beyond the conventional. In fact, I recently put my Proteus 2500 (16 fully assignable knobs + 16 assignable trigger buttons + sequencer etc.) back into service as a hardware controller for Voltage Modular. I have other options for using Emulator X3 on an older PC (if the authorization hasn't disappeared) as well as hardware. Again, thanks for the comments. For people who are already into the Kontakt ecosystem, the DSF bundle sounds like an excellent deal. They have solid credentials! BTW, a few months ago, I saw the re-invented in-brands/AIR Music Technology was also offering DSF sounds. Just mentioning that to show new things have been happening with DSF. Not recommending AIR over Kontakt at all.
  4. New? In new condition?? Vintage Pro??? Have you seen, someone is making new sound roms for the P2K/CS line. I believe the prices are better than all those price gougers at a famous on-line marketplace.
  5. Might be nice if I could use all my E-Mu patches in the free Kontakt Player now that Emulator X3 can no longer be authenticated. Also, does anyone know how Kontakt compares with Emulator X3? Maybe if I sell all my hardware and Sample CDs I could afford Kontakt and a computer powerful enough to run it. Emulator is tremendously efficient (low CPU usage) but I cannot authorize it on a new computer.

    midi? audio?

    [P]references or Menu Bar > Edit > Preferences Audio Devices Other parameters Midi Devices Other parameters UPDATE: Or you could watch John's videos (see post immediately below). Its quicker than reading the entire manual!!!
  7. Another Dylan tune done remarkably well and popularized by someone who set the standard--in this case Hendrix. Very nice cover here, paying tribute to Hendrix's footprint on the song and with a stamp of your own .
  8. Distinctly reminiscent of Hendrix, but still very pleasantly your own version. Thanks for sharing!
  9. A few days ago, I was on the verge of getting the $29 NI classic bundle that included Absynth, FM8 (which I had just gotten a week or so ago), Massive, and one or two other things. It looks like that bundle was made to disappear without a trace. I thought it was part of Synth Month September, but maybe it was only for Labor Day. 😞 I almost posted the deal but I was distracted by some petty BS. On the positive side, that's $29 I don't have to borrow from my BF fund. 🙂
  10. Condolences to those for whom Queen Elizabeth was a cool and respected monarch.
  11. Great one that is!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for calling attention to this. I scrolled past the punchline too fast when I first read it!
  12. Interesting. I don't use a laptop for music, but I was curious about this setting. Might find it useful in the future. I tried "Get Help" and ended up sending feedback:
  13. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/tonex/?utm_source=forum&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=tonex When CS becomes available, will there be a filter to allow users to see and try only those presets that match their tonex gear list?
  14. JMO: I find the comments in the Deals section are helpful for making consumer decisions (to buy, or not to buy) when fellow forum members help me to understand what products offer, how they can be used, features they have or don't have compared to other similar products, specific drawbacks users have had, specific genres of music that might match what a product offers, etc.
  15. I just detached "discuss" and moved it onto my second monitor. I had to zoom the browser (Chrome) smaller to get the tabs to appear. No premature menu closing issue. I tried resizing the browser on Mon 2 and couldn't replicate the issue. My monitors are different sizes; they have different resolution settings. At present I have scaling/layout at 100% on both, though I sometimes change the scaling on monitor 2. Is it possible you are using a custom setting somewhere?
  16. Ooops. I hit save instead of cancel. EDIT: WTF: Negative one. LOLOLOLOL. Actually it was only a partial Ooops. I had put in relevant quotes but didn't have time to write up the full measure minus one tick strategy I have done with the event list for ages in order to avoid conflicts going into a new measure at the end of a string of measures. I wanted to do some more testing to write up as thorough a relevant response as possible comparing the use of the Staff View and the PRV.
  17. The metal ones from Eden NY? Please PM info on where to get a dozen for $10. I've gotten some of the plastic garbage kazoos that seem to be sold as party favors, and I'd take the real ones over those any day!!!
  18. Just an FYI: The most recent pdf version of the Cakewalk Reference Guide I have from May 27, 2022 is copyrighted 2022 and is marked 27.12.00. My CbB is 2022.06 build 34. Help > Documentation shows "28.06.0 Build." At the bottom there is a link to a pdf. That is the 27.12.00 pdf. Both the pdf I downloaded on May 27th and the one I downloaded today are the exact same size. I did not yet do a binary comparison to see if they are identical. Maybe someone else has the motivation to do that? See UPDATE below. Neither have I done I have not done a word-for-word comparison of the Help > Documentation document and either of the pdfs. I suppose if someone wanted to, they could look up the newest features as reported in June and compare the write ups. UPDATE: 1.pdf is the one from May 27, 2022. 2.pdf is the one from today.

  20. There is plenty in the thread that already addresses these ^^^ comments. No need on my part to rearticulate what I already said no matter how much you try to goad me into doing so. I have no respect for you. Any respect I used to have has been wiped out. If you disagree with my preferences and my accounts of my personal experience, that is your choice. I think your persistence in advocating your position has come across loud and clear. If you want to say anything more as concerns me or anything I have posted, I can only encourage you say it to yourself in your own head or to a mirror. Please cease and desist.
  21. Although you totally missed my original point and my reiteration and clarifications, I thought you finally got a tertiary point: However, it is clear from your most recent post that you did not. I didn't reply to this earlier. I was thinking you had finally given it a rest. You are like the proverbial fire calling the kettle black. =================== For the sake of clarity, here's a post in this thread: Here is the post that was linked: Here is the thread it is from: Clearly, the threads I am referencing are related to the PDC button. Are you intentionally distorting what people have said to try to claim my original point was "wrong" in your opinion, or are you referencing a different statement where Noel discusses the FX Bypass button? If the latter, I will happy to read that statement. You seem to be playing a trolling game. I asked you politely previously to stop it. Please keep in mind, that I was specifically addressing Matthew White. He is someone I have interacted with previously and have much respect for what he contributes and for how he communicates respectfully in the forum. That is why I felt comfortable posting my reply.
  22. You are wrong for saying I was offensive. I did not say anything offensive.
