Never mind. I found it. Never would have thought it would be in the "Display Settings".

Hi All, I just started messing with articulation maps using Spitfire's BBCSO and noticed that they don't work. What I found is that, even though the map's articulation is set to C0 and the articulation in the instrument is C0, The MIDI note that triggers that articulation in CbB is actually C1. I seem to recall reading about a setting that corrects this somewhere, but can't remember where. Thanks in advance, G

I had a $50 loyalty voucher, so I just snagged it for $49.99. Really like it so far. Gonna keep playing with it.

Ah, I was doing that but could have sworn in the past it was reverting back to the default. Perfect. Thanks scook!

Yeah, I saw those tmp files. So I'm guessing I can make a new one from those, but is there a way to get the DAW to use them by default, or is it baked in?

Does anyone know where the default instrument menu layout file resides? When I open "Manage Layouts", there is an instrument list organized by manufacturer. If I change this, I have to save it, but there is no existing layout to save it to/overwrite. I have to create a new one. Then, in the browser, the old list still appears.

And I thought my Win7 machine was ancient. 😄

It's definitely worth the exercise to learn how to create drum maps, especially with EZD2 since each EZX has different routing. AD2 is nice because no matter what the kit, they all use the same mixer routing. Once you figure it out, it's only about 10-15 minutes of work to make a new one, versus the time spent searching online for an existing map.

Time to upgrade.

That fixed it. You da man, scook. As always, thanks for your help.

Celemony provided me with a link to version 4 with instructions to uninstall any installed versions from my PC and to install version 4. After following their instructions and running the VST scan again, Cakewalk still isn't showing Melodyne as a Region FX nor seeing the VST3 version.

Correct, it was Essential 2. I'm reaching out to them as we speak. I'm not going to upgrade OS over Melodyne. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing some step.

Thanks scook. I had tried that, but Melodyne 5 Essential is not compatible with Win7.

One thing on the VST scan: Melodyne appears under the VST category but not the VST3 category.

Yes, and no.

I haven't used Melodyne since SPLAT and now that I'm on CbB, I noticed it doesn't appear under Region FX. I found a post that mentioned adding it via Bandlab Assistant, so I went and did that. Is there an extra step involved to get CbB to recognize it as a Region FX?

As a bass player, I listen to that track and I hear a pretty straightforward, DI bass tone with a hi and lo filter and maybe some saturation. I'm no hip hop expert but I would think hip hop bass would tend to be synth rather than real bass guitar. So, after some research, I found that the bass line is a James Brown sample. So, go grab yourself a Fender Precision with some flatwounds.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not familiar with Studio Drummer but by the looks of it, shouldn't the Kontakt mixer have 11 outputs?

Hence the creation of the EQ pedal.

Thanks Mark. I'll give that a try.

Thanks Billy. I'll give that a try.

I'm using 6.4.2

The weird part is that everything sounds fine and looks to be working correctly. However, if I look at the track where instrument #8's audio is coming out, its input is "aux 2/aux 3: Stereo" rather than as it's shown in the Kontakt mixer (Trombone 15/16).

Okay, so I just tried it and I'm getting the same results as before. I inserted Kontakt using the settings you shared above, then created 8 instruments in Kontakt, ran the batch function in the output section so each instrument has its own output channel in Kontakt. In Sonar, if I pick one of the newly created tracks and view the input drop down, I see Left, Right and Stereo choices for only the first 5 instruments.

Excellent! Thanks for this. I'm going to give it a try.
