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.

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.

I have had the beta version for a while and was far more impressed with Meldway Grand than the Dream Machine, but I never thought about trying the arpeggiator with the Dream Machine before you mentioned it. Great suggestion!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

Distinctly reminiscent of Hendrix, but still very pleasantly your own version. Thanks for sharing!
