    I was able to get Riffer feeding into Obelisk feeding into a synth but it was very twitchy.  Audio engine keep stopping due to the lag.  Had to dial everything back a lot to make it not just halt.  The trick is all the manual echo's on the MIDI tracks (see the image below) and using the In/Out on the tracks to feed everything from one synth to the next.

    thanks - unfortunately too clunky to be workable  -thanks for showing me the method tho

  2. thanks - that is not going to work for me - I would end up with 4 or 5 tracks feeding into every sound source.  Would get very difficult to follow, whereas in Reaper I can just have one track for each sound source with as many plugins on that track as I want eg 5 midi plugins>synth>5fx  makes it very easy to follow what is going on. Reaper has its own annoying problems though, hence me looking at Cakewalk

     

    thanks again for all your help

  3. thanks - that works a bit - however if I expand the riffer track so that I can see the various parameters (on left hand side) then the output from riffer stops and the synth stops. To hear the synth again I have to expand the synth track . The re are other minimise/expand combinations that dont work as well - it this a normal feature?

     

    Also where would I put something like Obelisk or Harvest  for generating variations?

  4. Hi, I am brand new to Cakewalk and have the following I have been trying to create with no success. I have looked for tutes but not finding what I need

     

    i would like to do the following

    Basic signal flow is

    Riffer (midi) > Obelisk (midi) > Synth(audio)

     

    Riffer is a sequencer, it will send out midi notes. Those notes then go into Obelisk which will turn each note into a midi chord. Those chords go to the synth.  I just cannot figure out how to do this in Cakewalk. I have many years using Reaper where not surprisingly I find this easy to do and I am sure it will be easy in Cakewalk with some help

    thanks, Greg

  5. Hi,  approximating curves for fades and automation by sequencing various shapes is possible, but it is much simpler for the user to use a system of adjusting the curve shape using a mouse. Here is an example video of how reaper does this, but other software has similar methods . It would be great if Cakewalk by Bandcamp could implement something similar

    You can't dynamically adjust the shape of envelopes, but you can get the same effect in a less-elegant way.

    Example

    You have to create nodes by clicking on the envelope and right-clicking between the nodes to change the shape of the curve, but you're not limited to the curve shape in the sense that you can place unlimited nodes. It's not as simple to achieve in the same way something like drawing a curve in Serum works, but if you don't want to go insane trying to manually draw a curve in Cakewalk then your next best bet is to node your curve changes using a combination of shapes.

    It's important to remember that while it's really easy to get caught up in how it "looks", the more important part is listening how the curve actually affects the audio you're applying it to. This is critical in Cakewalk because the shape, requiring such lego-type construction, is not going to be intuitively similar to what you hear. But as with all things audio, your ears should be your eyes before your eyes anyway, so really the pain point with Cakewalk is the lack of elegance you have to overcome to achieve what you're going for. Which is possible, just not intuitively so.

     

    thanks - I have used that method before and it can get close to the final result just much slower ie workflow is not as good. I think I will put in a feature request if that is possible

  7. I may be mistake but I thought it was possible to adjust the fade shape (or automation shape) using a ke modifier.  The sort of thing I am wanting to do is change to curve of a fade in like this - say if I have a linear fade in, I hover my pointer over the centre of the fade line, press a modifier, and then I can drag the fade line into a curve  - whether quick or slow fade in  or anything in between. is this possible in Cakewalk or am I restricted to set shapes with fades and autiomation?  Here is a video of what I would like to do but in Reaper
