So, it worked on the original midi file with TTS-1 set as only Synth. The issue is with the CWP file. Drums ar set to EZ drummer 2. So I went back and changed the drums output in the CWP file to TTS-1. But it does the same thing. Sometimes it gets one track, like the kick, or the 2 tracks, kick and snare but that's it? Very strange. went back to midi file and it works there.???? I do not remember a CWP file having anything to do with split notes to tracks. midi Notes are midi notes?

EDIT: So for some reason it just does NOT work on this certain CWP project? weird. Works on others though. So, oh well I guess. Just an old song I was asked to do at a wedding-one man band type thing. end of edit. So I have used this for years. Has it stopped working? In the past I only had to add ONE MIDI TRACK so I could select it as "First Destination Track" and CW would just do the rest. I always use this on drum tracks. Cannot get it to work? EDIT: figured I better try adding like 20 midi tracks to see if that helped. It didn't.

So, after decades I decided to see if I could add lyrics to my midi files and have them play like a Karaoke file-IOW, lyrics\bars stay in time with music. I can add lyrics in lyric view but read I had to add them in Staff view. Go confused. Still confused. Any videos on how to do this or does CW not have this capability? Which would be understandable................... hope this makes sense. Thanks as always!

So, anyone having issues? I cannot tell yet where the issue is but the last win 10 update, for me, was installed on April 1st, heck of a day to do that! Just intermittent stuff, like slow app (CW) response, stuff like that. Definitely new for me. Specs are not the greatest but I believe they are solid. Very solid build. Device name Asus- Prime Z370-A Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB GeForce GTX 1650 6GB System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 20H2 Installed on ‎4/‎1/‎2021 OS build 19042.867Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0 Curious, I know it could be something else and I wish I could explain it better. But I have not used CW since the update until tonight Thanks :

Duh! Thanks Scook......................

Don't know what I did but now I don't remember how to get it back. I did search, btw. Couldn't find it. Use to open a midi file and TTS-1 would automatically be the midi player. Duh! Sorry for the old question. Old minds think alike?

Just wanted to report back. I am just thrilled at how well this little keyboard works. Recording bass lines, some right hand keyboard parts and drum tracks using my VSTS is just so easy. Thanks again guys!

Thanks BF and number guy. Great news because, as stated , full size keys yet small and compact.

I have one of these somewhere in storage. Before I go hunt for it I wanted to save myself any headaches. It is in perfect condition-never used actually. All I want to do is input bass lines and maybe drum beats. Is USB1.1 oK for this and will it work with Win 10x64 nd CWbyBL? If not I will buy another but I do not want to control Cw, just do what I mentioned-maybe playing VSTS to do it? It is small with full size keys and very compact. Thanks

Thanks Glenn and John. Appreciate it very much.....Now I'll get to work.

Not sure if this is possible-I mean "fast". I have a 12 song set of someone I like a lot. I imagine I can split it into separate songs one at a time. Is there a way in CW or even Sound forge 11 to do this quickly? Or CD architect? Thanks Folks

I still have Sonar Plat and X3 installed. I have since the beginning of CwbyBL....................

True, but the Yamaha will also "always" sound the same and have the "same" issues it has now. I still have my Edirol SC88VL in my rack and do use it sometimes for a a quick playback, but not very often I also will never sell it.....😀

Hi Craig, I had it working a couple of times, other times, without changing a thing, it didn't work. But when it did, it did not track well for me. I was only playing bass lines, simple ones-to learn the app. I used a pick so notes would be clearer. Just doesn't track well here anyway. Maybe it's me? I only have the free trail and the constant interruption where you have to click Buy or Continue may be a part of the issue. Pretty bad demo imho. I tried mono, poly, etc, etc. Even though I own Melodyne 4 Editor full version, I am not familiar with it. I bought it on a whim way back when and just kept upgrading, figuring one day I would use it. Thanks for the input

Hey Scook...........DUH....Found it all, seriously tired. I will start fresh tomorrow-looks very promising

Guess I have some reading to do. I cannot get the menu to enable midi output with the midi guitar 2 vst. Also as far as the VSt, its not really a free trial, well it is but severely limited -interrupts you very quickly with the buy now window or continue. Pain really. I'll keep looking. Scook I know where enable midi output is in the properties window of the vsts, but I don't have that window. Dumb, I know.

So it looks cool and is certainly inexpensive, especially since it's polyphonic. Guess I need to read the docs becaus I want to record the midi IN CW, not import it or anything. Thanks as always Scook EDIT: So, I downloaded the free trail and it installs as a stand alone app & a x64 VST-That's great!

So, I don't have or want a bass guitar, but would like to use my electric guitars to record midi bass lines, later to be rendered to audio. I have a midi controller\keyboard ( which I have always used for midi bass and drums) but I do so much better , being a guitar player, using my guitar to record the bass lines. With the guitar I can really nail the nuances, timing, etc, etc and of course it doesn't sound mechanical because it isn't. I know I can just use audio but then I don't have as much freedom with VSTS for playback. Is their such a thing as an "inexpensive option"? BTW I should add I do own Melodyne Editor 4 full. I did notice Reaper has this thing called REATUNE which does exactly what I am talking about, supposedly, pretty easily? Thanks

Thanks folks......Got it!

Thanks John - you posted this as I was typing above--------Appreciate it!

So, theoretically, if I open a new project and select View synthrack and then select "apply workspace on project load" for each project I open or start that should work, correct? Also, none stays checked when I do this. Doesn't work so I guess I need to read about workspaces. Maybe create a NEW workspace and call it synthrack view? So I did delete (manage workspaces) my old lense....

Yes it is ticked. I had a "similar" issue a few months ago and it had to do with a Lense (it was called lense when I created it) that was generic except for having the synth rack enabled and showing always. It is still in the list, so maybe that is the issue or part of it. Perhaps I it loaded the project with my old lense. Can I delete it from the list? The issue last time was similar-could NOT control dragging track height up or down with the mouse and synth rack disappears? mind boggling really. For me anyway.

EDIT: I know how, well, ridiculous this sounds. It does ONLY happen when I attempt to drag a track to adjust it's height. Just sayin, this is the "trigger" so to speak. OK, title sounds weird, I know. Here is the issue. I have none checked in lenses and I want it to stay there. The checkbox stays there but Workspace fills the dialog box in Lens. I know it's a workspace, but it also changes what I am doing\seeing\etc. WHY? Dragging a track down top make it taller(yes I use the mouse) it just jumps to a unmanageable size(tall), like /2 the screen. Seems to take over the visual aspects of CW-like it has a min of it's own. EDIT: It seems to be triggered by some action I do but I am doing the same things the same way I have for many decades with cakewalk! I cannot pin point it but it sure is annoying. I wish I could delete (disable) the lense option but checking none does not seem to work. Immediately jumps to workspace, synth rack disappears, etc, etc? Hopefully someone will understand what I mean. When I drag a track down a bit I want it to stay where I put it. It doesn't. That is only 1 example of many "weird things. It also immediately hides my synth rack view which I LIKE open. frustrating. Thanks

I agree with Rico, Why? I was weary at fist because of the PCI bridge I needed. Once I got it secure, zero issues. I do have a Roland Octa Capture that just sits in the box. I thought many times, better upgrade. But always found myself thinking, Why? I have no issues , why fix what isn't broken. Lots of ins\outs, SPDIF, etc.

No issues here using Echo Layla 3G and Win 10x64. My machine has no PCI slots so I had to use an adapter for PCI Express and all is well. Got great info and advice on the bridge from Colin. BTW, I am at the LATEST win 10 build......
