Wow, it looks really cool now. The old tiny GUI put me off, I'm glad they changed it.

Is there any extra offer for those who own these synths as VSTi already?

You may want to email the developer and ask about a crossgrade offer. Synapse Audio offers free crossgrades between vst and rack extensions. Don’t know about Korg, but it may be worth the try.

I don't think it does - it's a clear as mud I'm afraid

I did find this:

https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=553546

So I think the download page is a bit misleading (annoying when you've just downloaded 60gig)

Hmm, weird. The installation page says you can: https://www.meldaproduction.com/MDrummerDrumEmpire2020/installation

Drum Empire 2020 is used by following plugins. Download MeldaProduction universal installer, run it and make sure you select one or more of the plugins that use this pack.

MDrummer

MSoundFactory

MSoundFactoryLE

MSoundFactoryPlayer

Still, too annoying to download 60 gb just to check.

can anyone confirm that this works with their free player? Are they multi velocity? Cheers.

Sitala is nice but Poise is actually insane workflow-wise. Totally recommended!

You can specify an audio editor program to send your samples and then reload them back to the pad (right click in the layer icon). You can resample a sample after applying effects to save cpu. You can click and drag to select all pads, etc. Possibly the best drum sampler I’ve ever used, and I used to own Battery 3 and Geist 2. If only the GUI was a bit bigger... but whatever.

UPDATE: So, a few weeks ago I installed Poise from One Small Clue, which was recently made free, but I discarded it since the GUI is a bit small. I decided to give it another spin and it's actually quite amazing. I can live with the small GUI, it's not that bad. I am using this skin though: https://vstskins.com/poise-aiva-1-5/

You can very easily layer drums and much more. You can even drag audio from the sequencer to the pads. Also, you can MIDI map the sample start and end points!

I recommend you watch this 4 part tutorial, it is very useful: 

Hi all. I’ve been using Sitala, which is cool, but I want something that allows for sample layering for blending more than one sound together (very common in modern genres). I have Kontakt already but the interface is hard to navigate IMO. Poise apparently can do it but the GUI is too small. Any free/cheap option?

thanks!

They’d slowed down in the past few weeks/months. They used to release dev builds every couple of days but they released one today after 12 days. They’re working on a new area selection feature that appears to be taking them a lot of work. REAPER has been my main DAW for a long time, but I’m digging CbB much more now. Even though it doesn’t have all of the features and flexibility of REAPER, it’s better designed overall and the workflow is better, IMO.

From memory I think there was a fix for this in the latest update. Are you on the latest version? 

Yes. Seems to be language related. I have a laptop that I bought in Germany, so parts of Windows seem to be hard coded in German or something. My default OS language is Spanish and I run CbB in English (I know...).

Still, switching languages doesn’t help. I emailed support and they responded with some questions about Windows version, CbB build number, and language settings. I also told them that the right click menu on the arranger track also displays weird characters.

No response after that. I really hope they can fix it on next release, it’s really annoying and I worry that the bug could be present in the nex-to-be-introduced articulation manager... ?

Will this work in Reason Lite 11?

yesss

Can’t you use the gain knob at the top of the mixer channel to trim the mic input? 

View the attached image. Any solution?

Thanks

The path to the dll loaded by Cakewalk may be viewed

• in the plug-in properties in the VST2 drop down above the plug-in UI. Click the details button in plug-in properties
• in the Plug-in manager. Click on the plug-in name to display the path in the Filename entry at the bottom of the screen

It is also part of the data displayed in the VST Inventory tool I wrote. This tool is available on my Google page.

Thank you! that did it after I went nuclear and did a clean install with no success. I actually had a previous version in another sub folder...

CbB is opening version 6.2.2 of Reaktor as oppossed to 6.4, which is the latest. I deleted the .dll files (I had it installed twice on my vst folder and a sub-folder), reinstalled from Native Acces, reset and rescanned all plugins but it's still loading the older version of the plugin. Any tips?

Working fine in other DAWs.

Yes, REAPER does it best. It would be awesome to have it in CbB. 

Cool, cool. Cool, cool, cool.

You can also select all the tracks and drag the edge of one and all will resize.  There is also the auto-focus thing where all the tracks not selected have one size and the selected track another. if you resize one unselected track the rest get resized with it. Not quite what you are asking for but just some other options.

cool, definitely lots of options. Thanks!

Emailed them and they haven’t responded. If they don’t I will never buy anything from them again for false advertising and lack of professionalism.

Sorry, I posted before checking your response, I am not aware of a keystroke + mouse wheel that will vertically zoom all tracks in a project, however you can assign keystrokes  to zoom in/out all tracks in Preferences.  I just assigned 'Zoom In All Tracks Vertical' to 'U' and 'Zoom Out All Tracks Vertical' to 'Alt + U', works very well. 

oh, ok ☹️ . Thanks a lot.

In Options you can set the behaviour of mouse wheel zoom.  Here you can set it to zoom vertically and horizontally at the same time (Simultaneous) and you can set the strength of the zoom (Zoom Factor)  I have mine set to 1.500.  You can choose to zoom at the cursor position or now time, and with the simultaneous box ticked you can zoom with keystroke Alt + Scroll Wheel.  If you don't want simultaneous vertical and horizontal zoom untick the simultaneous box.  To vertical zoom use keystroke Alt + Scroll Wheel ,  for a more intense vertical zoom use Alt + Shift + Scroll Wheel.   For Horizontal zoom use Ctrl + Alt + Scroll Wheel, and for a more intense horizontal zoom use Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Scroll Wheel.  Personally I only find horizontal zooming necessary so set my mouse wheel options to Simultaneous with the Vertical Zoom Factor at 1.000, actually I think this is the default.  With this setting Alt + Scroll Wheel = horizontal zoom.  Cheers.

Thank, but that’s not what I mean. What Cakewalk calls vertical zoom means zooming into the waveforms. What I mean is to change all tracks height simultaneously using the mousewheel. Is that possible?

I zoom vertically all the time with my mouse. I can't remember the exact key combination but I think it is shift-cntl and mouse wheel or one of those combinations.  

You mean zooming the waveforms? What I mean is zooming the entire project. Basically resizing all track panels and their content, like you do when you right-click and drag over the ruler area. In most DAWs I can do that with a key+mousewheel combo.

The one thing that prevents me from using CbB as my main DAW is its annoying zooming controls. It's essential that any software I use has a way of confortably zoom in and out. In REAPER, Reason, S1, or any other DAW (except for Mixcraft), you can zoom horizontally and vertically using a keystroke+mousewheel combination. Not in Cakewalk. You have to use the arrow keys or righ click+drag on the ruler area to zoom in and out vertically. Just this one little thing that disrupts my workflow and I can't get around because it's just SO annoying. If anyone can prove me wrong and show me a way to zoom vertically using the mousewheel+key, I would be very grateful.

same problem here.

Maybe you switched “presets” on the keyboard. There are about 5 presets, hou should be using the first one for daw integration to work properly. Or you can try a factory reset.

Now CbB becomes a serious contender for media/orchestral composers! Score editor improvements would be nice.
