I don't believe that's so. I bought one of these a while back and recently transferred the license to a new computer build with no problems. And I had another that I have upgraded the computer with a new motherboard and transferred Windows to a new drive and again had no problems.

Make sure to update your Spire plug-in to version 1.5.15 (build 5278): * Fixes for preset manager interface glitches * Fixes for ReSpire format files export * VST3 improvements for RAM consumption * Stability improvements https://www.reveal-sound.com/plug-ins/spire/downloads

I was hoping for a deal like last year when Native Instruments had a deal for their "partner" U-he. I think it was 50% off on their synths. I never pulled the trigger on that deal last year and now NI doesn't even show U-he as a partner any more. I believe the fine print on this deal says that it can't be combined with any other offer. So, this may be as good as it gets. The deal expires December 7 so I might wait until the last minute to see if anything better comes around.

I'm glad it's not just me having trouble with the download. I got 4 of the 8 files downloaded fine. The others only get almost to a gig on the download and then it craps out and can't be restarted. I've been trying for several days and at different times of the day and still no luck.

I have the LX25+ and I like it a lot and have had no problems with using it with CbB. Considering the price, I thinks it's awesome. However, if I have one complaint, it would be that the keys are somewhat noisy as they bottom out when playing with a little force. I've gotten used to it so I don't really even notice anymore. Also, I purchased my unit used so a newer unit might not be as noisy.

According to that article, one of the main computers having problems with this version is the Microsoft Surface. Seems to be a bit of irony there

That's pretty good! The actual name of that patch is "delay kitty." As I was auditioning sounds that one made me laugh and I didn't take it seriously. But after playing it back a few times, it sort of grew on me.

Here is an old song of mine finally finished and brought up to today's technology. I have tons of old music that is mostly complete but that basically only exist as midi files in Cakewalk. In the past, that was essentially all I did was compose songs in midi using Cakewalk and playing back using a GM player, usually TTS-1 or a soundfont player. I now have many VSTI's to select from and my music now contains an assortment of these synths. I'm still struggling with getting things to sound correct once they've been uploaded to Soundcloud. I also am never very sure of what genre my music is, so when in doubt, I choose "electronic." Hope you enjoy. All suggestions are appreciated and will be given consideration. Thanks.

I've got the Nektar Impact LX25+ and I love it... considering I bought it used for $60. The "terrible key bed" you mention is something I can live with in my situation.

A recent composition of mine. I finally decided to get some of my music up on Soundcloud. Completely composed, mixed, and mastered on Cakewalk.

I'm living on the shoreline of the Sea of Tranquility. Actually, East Texas, USA.

I figured out what was happening. I would open a project that had tracks set to a synth I no longer have installed. I would then add Cakewalk TTS-1 as a synth. The tracks would have a bank number that doesn't exist for that synth (like bank "1" instead of bank"15488 Preset Normal 0"). As soon as I change to a proper bank setting, the note names appear.

I'm thinking maybe the file originated as a MIDI type 0 that I saved as a .cwp file. Not sure that would cause this but it's my only guess right now.

OK. I was able to find a workaround. I saved the project as a type 1 midi file and when I opened that file it is back to showing the note names. The old file that showed only number was a .cwp file from around 10 years ago. So I've got it working but would like to know if there is a shortcut key or something that could change this as I suspect I may have more old files the will exhibit this behavior.

Here is what I want. Names not numbers under data.
