You might want to check out these, although I'm not sure about the squeaks and squawks 🤔... Pretty good prices, though, at $38 and $20: https://8dio.com/products/clarinet-virtouso https://soundpaint.com/products/1967-clarinet-paris

Awww man... I wish I'd seen this sooner. I still have my $15 referral invite from Soundpaint for first time buyers. You could've gotten it for free

Thanks for the tip! I grabbed the Solo Violin... should be useful. Good deal for a dollar! 😁

Always need mo strings 😁

I've always wanted to get the full version of Kontakt but kept putting it off. I checked on the price (because of the voucher email) and found I could get a cross-grade price of $99.50! I added on Session Strings for $49.50, used the voucher and got both for $99 total! I'm happy...

You may want to manually check the files in your Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core directory. My versions are as follows: Cakewalk (Cakewalk.exe): 29.9.0.75 TTSRes (TTSRES.dll): 29.9.0.75 TTSImage (TTSImage.dll): 29.9.0.75 Automation (CW130Auto.dll): 29.9.0.75 I'm guessing on the Automation file... I think it's CW130Auto.dll in the Cakewalk\Shared Utilities directory. If your files don't match these versions after re-installing, then something fishy is going on. If they do match, then try running Cakewalk directly from the Cakewalk Core directory by double clicking Cakewalk.exe. Maybe there's some kind of duplicate install on your machine? No idea, really.

Ok... I fixed the persistence problem with these two and updated the website. When you download the Zip file, you can just copy the new DLL file directly over the old one if you'd like. Strange that it took a couple of years for someone to notice 🤪 The scaling/distortion issue in the plugins is going to take longer... gonna have to make some significant changes to ensure they are DPI adaptable. The vector based components are still pretty far in the future. Right now I'm working on dynamically scaling and positioning all of my custom components. It'll take a lot less time 🔧 I'd actually have to do some QA testing and add a lot of error checking to the code before any of these would be ready for any kind of commercial release 😜

I think I've found the problem... should have a fix soon.

You're saying it's set to 100% and you still have the issue? Are you using dual monitors and if so, are they both set to 100%? Yeah, I'm getting confused. Technically, it should be rendering correctly in Win10 even using MFC. Glad to hear it works in Win11! 🤷‍♂️ I'll figure it out eventually...

Yeah, I'm working on scalable components, but I was hoping to find a quick fix for the existing FX. Unfortunately, since I'm using MFC, there doesn't seem to be one. I can either convert to WPF or UWP or check the DPI and manually size and position the elements. Ugh.

Ok... I think I figured out what's wrong. I can duplicate what you're seeing by changing Windows scaling to 150%: Open Windows Settings, go to System, and check Scale and layout... Set it to 100% and see if that fixes the problem. Apparently, I need to fix an issue with the GUIs. They don't seem to work with any scale other than 100% 😬

I don't load a specific font for the controls, so they use the default Windows font for a window/control. That and the weird scaling issue makes me lean toward some kind of anomaly in the OS, but I couldn't even guess what that might be... I'm hoping some other users will chime in so we can see if the issue is local to your machine or maybe related to some Windows update. I'm not using any unusual coding techniques for the graphics, so I 'm baffled as to why this would affect only these plugins 🤔

I'm stumped... It looks like there's an issue translating between screen and window coordinates. The components in your screen shot are off by a factor of 1.82 horizontally and vertically. The font is also different (sans serif) and about 1.82 times larger. I guess I'd have to ask the standard questions: Are you running Windows 10 or 11? Any updates to your video drivers? Anybody else seeing this issue? I'll keep poking around.

It's been a while since I had a JV-1080 (some wiener stole it) so I can't test these, but they used to work.🤔 There's the master file with all the core banks, one for Orchestral 1, and one for Orchestral 2. Roland SR-JV80-16 Orch2.insRoland SR-JV80-02 Orchestral.insRoland JV-1080.ins

Don't forget you can select all channels on the left (Shift-Click) or multiple channels (Ctrl-Click) to speed things up 😁
