Are you talking about Key +/- in the Inspector Panel?  For me the PC mouse wheel does +/-12  and  Shift+mouse wheel does +/- 1.  Are you talking about a different slider?

The documentation says "Enter a value (1 = a semitone), or press the + or – key to change the key by a single semitone. Use the [ or ] key to change the key by 12 semitones (one octave)."

If you are talking about the Transpose MFX, I was able to enter values by clocking on the Offset value box.

If you are talking about Menu Bar > Process > Transpose, [ & ] still work for transposing by 12 and plus + minus still work for steps.

Sorry just saw this response.... yes I'm talking about the Inspector panel. The slider widget there is not easy to guide to a specific number without over running. At times - I'm trying to adjust a key offset ( audibly ), to get an idea of how many keys to  edit transpose.   A Plus or minus 1  at the edges of the slider would be helpful as well as a numeric input. There seems to be a lot of screen real estate in the inspector window for midi generally. I can think of several ways to expand the current selections for better graphical layout. The transpose is just one that I use pretty regularly.

I find it very handy in Cakewalk to map my tilde (~) key to Edit/Select None. When I need to deselect things, it's much easier than doing it with the mouse.

nice tip!  ... thanks.

Maybe a safe guard to reduce a chance of a feedback loop?

I started with Roger Powells Texture before porting all that over to Cakewalk dos then Windows 3.1 version. Been with it ever since.

Hopefully Novation will have a calibration routine or maybe just a hard reboot step that will re-calibrate the pitch  wheel. Typically the wheel is just a manual potentiometer. How it measures that resistance is the key.  You can also buy contact cleaner for that pot - but it may be tricky getting to it depending on how the unit is designed. The best shortcut is to dis able the pitch wheel from the midi stream through preferences as stated above.

When I'm wrong--- I don't mess around.

I thought that was Blue Oyster Cult. 

Can't catch me 'cause the Rabbit done died.

yep, I know what you mean. Been using Cakewalk for many many years and only recently started using this move... especially handy when doing edits that require a little pre roll.

The foremost use for studio for me is multi track editing. Works great for tuning background vocals. The blobs can stack on top of each other on unison parts for a really good visual view of tuning and timing. I don't think I've ever really used for any of it's effects outside of tuning.

Maybe try de-selecting " zero Controllers on stop "  to see if it's receiving a conflicting message?

Goto : Edit - preferences - project - midi

Like the title says. I find it difficult to precisely control the slider to change transpose number.  I often use this to test transpose offsets in multiple track midi drums. Especially when converting from one library to another and I want to change the transpose on a track to track basis. The slider requires a too fine of touch to just slide single values - but typing in a value  (  or more typically - just doing + 1 - + 2 etc ) would far easier.

I've suggested this long in the past. - but here goes again. How about switching out the placements and functions between the pre - post switch and the effects on and off switch. It makes more contextual sense to have an immediate feedback about the on/off status of the effects sends and to have hidden the selection of pre and post because that function is usually a one and done kind of setting. It would also give a  faster inkling when you have accidentally hit "E" and muted all effects.

I thought she was always the strongest writer for that band. Had no clue she was 79 years old.

I still have a very old Win 7 System with an Apollo Silver Face firewire. I've always needed to reduce the Mix Thread Count  - to make the Apollo play nice. I needed to do a full uninstall and re-install recently. Reducing it fixed all glitching.

I think reliably use 10 out of 700 + .

Best demonstration of BS free recording techniques I've seen in a long time. The final composition is brilliant.

T'aint that a Jazz-ish bass ? It's got 4 nodules, not just 3 like the commoners has.

You mean like this?

 

The original Cakewalk sequencer had very efficient immediate access to all of the key variables involved with midi sequencing.

you could arrow up or down quickly to get to different tracks or click on them with the mouse. To change the Bank or Patch just click or arrow in to the corresponding square in the grid and use the plus/minus to very easily change between patches, banks, etc. You could also shift time of a track forward or backwards for say aligning one shot sample to sound how you want. There was quick access to transposing pitch of midi events on a track by using plus or minus keys, you could shift by an octave in one click. You could even do this in real time on a track while a sequence was playing for a really cool effect.

One of the really awesome aspects of such a workflow is how immediate it was to experiment and audition different sounds when adding a new part. You could arrow or click to the patch square on a specific track and play the controller keyboard with one hand while using other hand and plus or minus keys to scroll through different sounds extremely fast. And also you could use this same functionality to experiment with different sounds for a melody or bassline or drum pattern you had already recorded.  You could click or arrow to the patch square of a track while the sequence was playing and use the plus or minus keys to instantly scroll through all the patches of a particular synth, drum machine etc. And by clicking in the Midi Channel square of a track, and using plus or minus to change the midi channels, you could instantly switch the actual synth or drum machine entirely  that the events on that track would trigger.

There was no menu surfing, or opening multiple sets of folders to eventually look at the name of a single sound, then drag and drop it on to a track etc, or look at someone elses taxonomy for how they would classify information to try and find or audition new sounds.  Unfortunately all modern DAWS suffer from the condition of losing sight of original efficiency/ functionality.

Obviously modern DAWS perform amazing almost miraculous functions that early music software couldn't dream of. Especially being able to compose with an entire studio worth of synths and sampler VSTi  all just living in a portable laptop.

I wish someone would combine all the good aspects of old and new with ergonomics and intuitive functionality being the central pillar of the design.  Perhaps a project that invited tens of thousands of DAW  users and producers to join in on the design of the feature set.

Requests and design concepts that get suggested by the most people would get put at the top of the list for the build. Or perhaps an open source DAW that was somewhat modular so that if someone really wanted a feature or functionality it would at least be possible for them to either themself or by hiring someone, build the functionality in to the design.

Those were the days - extremely efficient. !  I think the track inspector could use a much better UI. Particularly with transpose slider - it's nearly useless to me....there are many places you can key in numerical settings, but you can't key in a transposition value in the slider widget.

Have you tried with a new project?   Is there any chance you have a midi feedback loop occurring?

This is my favorite style of VST synth. I'm more old school bent with a control per function.  No tabs or drop down menu that I can see from the demo.

Sounds like something may have gotten corrupted. Do you get any warning or toast messages ? You may be better off just re-installing. Also, Make sure you're not trying to run it from a drive other than the C drive.  Hopefully a Baker will chime in in case there any considerations to clear the registry.

"And ya - it's 2022. Maybe in 2005 you needed someone to help you build a system, because so many parts had compatibility issues. Literal children can build high end systems today. Shit, pcpartpicker will hold your hand and tell you exactly what you need and automatically flag problems in your build. Building a DAW system today is child's play. The only thing that might be a challenge for some is delidding or pasting the CPU. But you don't need to pay a $2000 premium on a $3000 machine for the service. People charging those premiums are just straight up assholes - I don't care how much charm and salesmanship they use to get people to overpay. That applies to Apple or small businesses."

This very specifically defines the difference between an amateur and a professional.   Some of us prefer the professional......... Because  - you know  IT'S PROFESSIONAL.  I have the choice between a 129.00 interface   and a 3000.00 interface. I choose the 3000.00 interface. It doesn't make it a rip off !  I chose it for my reasons.

also - Hosing around the internet does not make a person smart, savey, on top of it ...or  whatever. It might just mean you read about someone who is actually professional - and think you know better.

$1.50  for a stinkin soda pop ?!!!!   I'll fix those bast$>'~rds   !

Trouble shooting might be as simple as  loading the project while holding the shift key and dismissing the particular effect from loading. Then reload that FX into the region  or clip. At least this will get your project up and running.  I personally try to render any clip or region effects to a new clip. I think region effects are more vulnerable to mishaps or track changes.
