What do you mean by real keyboard? The lowest note on my 88-key upright is A. 😉 My Cakewalk keyboard defaults to C as the lowest note: What does your look like? Hmmmm. I don't see a non-octave offset mentioned here: http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Views.50.html UPDATE: I tried different things (e.g., transpose) to get the Virtual Controller to start on A (like my upright), but I haven't been able to find a way to do that.

For those interested in rhetorical criticism, here's an article might be of interest to some: http://www.csun.edu/~hfspc002/442/txt/burke.pdf .

I could be wrong, but for as long as I can remember, the sysex view only listed system exclusive banks. To me, the way to filter out different data types (including system exclusive data that is embedded in tracks) is to use the filter as you have done. Maybe it should be called Sysex Bank View. Or maybe there could be an optional feature to (1) convert all in-track sysex data to sysex banks, (2) swap out the data for banks, and (3) add them to the list of banks. JMO: Considering the Event List / Filter method already exists, works, and doesn't take much effort to do, it seems to me it wouldn't be a top development priority. But maybe they could add a "Bankize Track-Embedded Sysex Data" button and a "Delete All Banks" button. For people who have Cakewalk projects done with hardware that uses sysex and want to convert them to soft synth projects that don't use sysex, the buttons might be handy. Hmmmm. On second thought, maybe you meant sysex banks?

Someone who missed out a year and a half ago when another vendor had it as "free with any purchase" (February 2021) and didn't want to wait for the current AudioDeluxe $10 deal? IIRC there was also an AAS deal with one of those "AMAZING BUNDLE" sites that included stuff like Sessions, a few sound expansion packs, the free AAS Player, and Objeq Delay? Footnote: Parameters can be controlled using Voltage Modular's Plugin Host module (including program change, but not bank switching so far as I have seen).

As I was starting to get into virtual modulars, one prominent maker switched the graphical code to something that was unsupported by my computer. A number of years later, I stumbled onto Voltage Modular. It worked on my PC quite well and after a day of playing with the free version (Nucleus) and finding it so intuitive based on my early Moog experiences, I upped my investment with VM Core + Electro Drums. I have since gotten other virtual modulars. Since I now have experience with the VM workflow as well as a number of modules, I feel more comfortable with using it. While I haven't interacted with the module makers for other systems, I have with several makers of VM modules. I appreciate their responsiveness. I have no idea if I would have developed "brand loyalty" to the other company if they hadn't changed their graphics system, but I am now glad they did. VM continues to work well for me.

+ 1,000,000 for comedy music!!! True Story: I remembered Billy The Mountain from one of the Fillmore East Concerts I went to (the night before Zappa met and played with John Lennon). But it wasn't on the Mothers at the Fillmore East. I had to wait until the Just Another Band album and of course all the local flavoring was very different from what I remembered (California-based instead of East Coast-based). So finally, this year, the 50th anniversary edition of the Fillmore East album came out. The set lists confirmed my memory! 🙂

Are you talking about sysex banks, sysex data, or both?

BTW, I mined various E-Mu patch banks formats, documented undocumented sysex controllable parameters on the P2K/CS line, etc. using Cakewalk's sysex view. Tedious to be comprehensive, but fairly easy to set up banks of sysex commands in SONAR/Cakewalk, tweak values, see what changes, and note the actual range/results (as opposed to what the documentation said). Nowadays people who use software synths and FX have exposed parameters for micro-managing parameters (provided the manufacturer make them available).

Its been in Cakewalk SONAR for decades. The last time I looked it was sill there. In the early days, it was great for storing and loading patch and sequencer data and controlling parameters on hardware that had a few buttons, a single knob, etc. Especially handy when you find out that a module's 30+ year old battery died and you need to reload user preset banks. Also handy for hardware that only had volatile memory for user patches and no battery whatsoever.

There's something "poetic" about listening to a version of this song repeatedly on a desert island: On the other hand there's a version of this:

The Rutles

Yez = You

Thanks for the clarification. Although I didn't install Melodyne on my current audio PC, it might be in a folder from a back up drive in my vst scan path. YUP! I have v.2.1.2.2 in my one of my scan path folders.

duplicate post - please delete or ignore

I dragged a MIDI Drum Loop (wav file) into a midi track. This is what CbB did as I expected it to do since I do not have Melodyne except that which is built into CbB. EDIT: See scook's clarification below. I must have a version on my current PC. In case its not clear, I am not disagreeing. I am just showing that it works.

Good question. I haven't used my custom *.ins files in ages. So from Preferences I went to MIDI > Instruments > Define > Import and then navigated to where I had a backup of MySONAR-BU1-2004-09-04.ins. Then I selected one of the Instrument Definitions I compiled ages ago to assign it to 16 channels on the port I wanted. Once I Oked it the current Caklewalk (CbB) imported the definition into the Master.ins file in my AppData folder -- C:\Users\ [MyName]\AppData\roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core. Here's a relevant link to the Online Documentation. Thanks for asking. A few days ago I decided I will integrate some of my hardware sound modules back into my current setup to supplement software synths.

Thanks for the overview, details, and link. The demos give a better idea of the breadth of what's included. FWIW, here's what's in Swatches.

I remember doing Chandler's Taiko modelling project. I thought it was a tutorial to teach us how to create our own presets. Was it one that he posted the final version he did?

The price of peanuts has gone up. 😜 Some people blame ******* ******; others blame ******* ****. 🤪

I just listened to them (the ones in Swatches). I think they (the ones in Swatches) may be directed towards a limited range of musical genres. Not sure if they represent the entire Sound Pack. Personally, my modular of choice is VM, but I do like the sounds of CV-1 (the ones in CV-1 itself which others have done). I have chosen not to develop custom patches in CV-1 (too old to learn enough to develop personal proficiency to a level that would make it worth my while). However, if AAS develops knock out patches in other Sound Packs that target other genres, I can see using CV-1 as a sound expansion module.

I just did a very quick 1 measure test (took 20-30 seconds) that I can jam on using C, D, E, & F.
