Too many sound choices and not enough brain cells left to comprehend😆

Yeah, I'm waiting for the brain cell group buy!

Although I wouldn't understand how it works... 🤪

No big deal but do you need to own Studio One to get this.

No, it works in Cakewalk.

Installed the new version in hopes of a speed boost but it still takes 20 seconds to open the plugin, and two full seconds to display the preset menu after clicking. 

Am I just lucky, or is it as slow for everyone else too?

For me, it takes about 5 secs when I add the plugin to a track before it opens. If I simply open an already added instance on a track it is a second maybe to open. Open the preset menu has a slight delay, barely noticeable. Nothing like what you see.

My PC is an i7-4790 3.60GHz 16Gig and an SSD.

Opening the standalone version takes a lot longer, but that is to be expected.

You should contact support and see if they can help.

What is your ticket number for this issue?  Edit - also mentioned this to our Testing Manager and he seemed aware and that our devs are also aware and working on it.

Thanks so much for looking into this Peter. I was very impressed with this last release. Very excited. It makes Amplitube an even better product with this lower CPU usage, along with the other fixes. If the devs nail the problem stated in ticket #3712804, it would be a great plus too.

As part of this, does any content have to be re-downloaded?

no

Good news and bad news:

Good news:

I have done some tests and, on my configuration, I can see a substantial reduction of the CPU usage! Yeah!!!

Bad news:

Changing the routing from the double and back to single still reduces the CPU as previously, so this bug is still there.

Conclusion:

If IK would fix this bug, Amplitube would be an even more killer product as far as CPU usage versus quality! But at least there is some gain with this release.

Numbers:

Running the standalone mode with the default preset yields these results in my task manager:

v5.0.3: 3.3%

v5.4.0: 5%

v5.4.1: 3.5%

But if you switch to double routing and back to single:

v5.4.1: 2.2% !!!!!

Now, that would make a difference for older PCs for sure.

I already have so much from last august GB to play with and so little to gain from this GB. A few items, but certainly not 52! But for someone who missed last years GB and/or is new to IK, it's a great deal as GB always are. Good luck to those who participate!

I am new as a cakewalk user I don't know how to make fret and strings active in piano roll properties

You should create a new thread to ask your question, as stated earlier in this thread:

Please do not report problems in this thread. Report issues in the main Cakewalk forums or directly to Cakewalk support.
 

I don't think there is a fretboard view in the piano roll, but there is a tab view in the staff view. If this does not answer your question, start a new thread please.

I don't know why this didn't occur to me before, but if you lock the Left & Right faders together within the console view, then keeping the Mackie Control set to controlling Master 1 will adjust both faders:

You must have missed it here. No worries.

• The master fader of the Oxygen will control only one side of the output fader. You can only choose one fader and they are separate left and right faders. But you can circumvent that by linking the faders in Cakewalk (padlock above the faders). A bit annoying but liveable.
• The pan do not behave as expected using the knobs on the Oxygen Pro. The range is half of what the pan in Cakewalk can do and the center of the knob does not correspond with the middle of the pan in Cakewalk. It seems kind of random, but I am sure there is a pattern, just haven't found it. The pan sometimes goes from -64% to +63%, sometimes -27% to +100%, etc.

Ref: Syner _V

I keep getting this message when selecting certain instruments. I know this was talked about but I can't figure it out. I have deleted the Syner-V file from IKPM d/l locations. Had IKPM reinstall the lib and I am still getting this error. Seems this is the only Synth getting this error. All others seem to be working.

 

If this not easy enough to understand, let me know, I'll elaborate with clearer instructions.

Yes, I was looking at upgrading my Neutron 3, but $149 for the upgrade is more than I paid for Neutron 3! 😲

Thanks for exploring the GS-V issue.   

Also, Syner-V part 3 has the same issue.

 

 

You are right! I updated my post above.

For a guitar player, I am having a ton of fun running through some of the presets! Seems like I'll run out of time before I run out of presets to try! 😋

I was running through some of the pads and they are so rich and full, very nice!

If anyone has a few minutes please try the preset 'Abundant Vineyards Pad'. On my setup there is a lot of crackle on chords. I don't know if it is intended, my setup, or a bug. In any case, no big deal with the number of great pad presets available! 👍

Syner-V has a different install issue than GS-V issue. I did some research this morning and here are my findings.

The GS-V issue is that one of the zip files is not copied at all by the install process: SYN2_GS-V_Part_4.zip

For Syner-V all of the zip files get installed but two of the files are malformed and has an extra level of folder which makes the install copy the wrong thing. I am kinda surprised the install process doesn't give any error message on this though. The file SYN2_Syner-V_Part_3.zip and SYN2_Syner-V_Part_4.zip have the following folder structure:

• Syntronik 2 Sound Content
  • Syntronik 2 Sound Content
    • Samples

When it should simply be:

• Syntronik 2 Sound Content
  • Samples

These get copied in the root of the Syntronic 2 sound content folder. If you manually fix the install of these two files in the Syner-V folder, make sure you erase '../Syntronik 2/Syntronik 2 Sound Content' and '../Syntronik 2/Install Syntronik 2 Sound Content.exe' to recover 8.64 GB of space.

I saw a discussion of the GS-V issues over on the KVR forums. It appears that the issue is related to not all of the zip files are installed. But since I passed on GS-V, I have no details to share on the fix here...

See above. And that's without reading KVR! 🤣

Thanks for confirming Jacques     ( @Jacques Boileau ).

All three of the GS-V "Funky Wah ..." instruments generate the error.  I found a couple others which also reference the missing "GS-V Funk Piano.pak."

Ok, found the problem. For some reason one of the part files does not get automatically installed. The file is 'SYN2_GS-V_Part_4.zip' found under '../IK Product Manager/Syntronik GS-V' if you haven't erased your install files yet. It is the one containing the needed samples. I copied the samples from that zip file to the 'Samples/Syntronik GS-V' and the preset you mentioned loads. All the samples from that zip where missing. So, like you  said, other presets won't load either.

@Peter - IK Multimedia This info is also pertinent to communicate to the devs. Thanks!

As I recall, Syner-V was a weird install. It placed a lot of the sample content into a separate folder. That caused errors when trying to open presets.

But after I figured out what the installer had done, it was a simple fix to drag them over to the main Syner-V sample folder.

Yes, I found that too. I thought it was a glitch in my install, but now see that it is a bug.

@Peter - IK Multimedia this should be reported to the devs.

One of the pack is extracted and copied as is into the Syner-V sample folder and we end up with the file 'Install Syntronik 2 Sound Content.exe' and directory 'Syntronik 2 Sound Content' in '..\Samples\Syntronik Syner-V' and the samples from that part are missing in '..\Samples\Syntronik Syner-V'. I hope this is clear enough, if not let me know.

I've been trying out the GS-V.  Unfortunately,  a handful of instrument presets generate the dreaded "Instrument ST4 Error.  Cannot locate Tank ..."  message.

For example, when I select "Funky Amped Wha E piano 1" ,  this error message pops up:

"Instrument ST4 Error. Cannot locate Tank at path 'G:/AudioSamples/Syntronik 2/Samples/Syntronik GS-V/GS-V Funk Piano/GS-V Funk Piano.pak'.
    ''G:/AudioSamples/Syntronik 2" is where the Syntronik 2 synths are located on my DAW.

I thought it was the same installation problem as "Syner V".  However, I can't find the missing 'GS-V Funk Piano.pak' in any of the usual suspect locations.

If someone has installed the (massive) GS-V,  would you verify the "GS-V Funk Piano.pak" will load.  I'm using the Syntronik 2 stand-alone app.

Luckily I just finished installing everything including GS-V! Took me most of the day since I had to clean up my sound directory to remove any chance of duplication.

I tried loading "Funky Amped Wha E piano 1"  and sadly I got:

I checked in the samples directory and that directory does not exist. I will check inside the installation files and report back if I find it.

Found the problem! It seems Product Manager does not like to use a network drive. I had asked it to use a directory on a NAS device, but it just froze every time I tried to install anything. Reverting to a normal drive solved the problem.

My product manager is at a stand still! Are you all downloading all this stuff right now? Let me know when you are done so I can do mine! 😋Maybe I should delay t'ill next week. I'll go play some guitar with Amplitube in the mean time. 😊

  Where are people finding the full set of multis?  All I can find is the set of 30 that came with Syntronik 2 Full.

I hope I don't have to de-authorize CS, SE, and Full, remove all the content, and start all over installing all 33 Instruments one-by-one using the Product Manager.  That would also require deleting tons of Syntronik files from my PC and still risk not getting the multis.  😞 

Before doing something such involved, I suggest you drop a line to IK support. I am sure they will help you to achieve your goal the simplest way possible.

I think the biggest concern by most, was the multis and IK came through with those. I understand the change of wording shown above, but have no idea what how that affects me to be honest. I certainly hope everyone get out of this feeling happy, I know I am!

Maybe, just maybe, the new rule applies only to those who got/get in after they were updated. That would be ok for those getting in when all the work had already been done!

Nope. "Syntronik 2 Multis" is in "My Products" list at the top. Most recent entry.

 

Not there for me, I'll contact support if it doesn't appear in the next few days.
