This should be easy, but I can't seem to find it. For overlaying or working with live audio clips, the M:B:T format is useless. Trying to match tempo is an exercise in frustration. Working exclusively in H:M:S:F is easier. It's easy to change the ruler to H:M:S:F or even samples, but the Loop In and Out points are still using M:B:T. How do I display the loop points to H:M:S:F?

The Downloadable Documentation for Cakewalk at the bottom of this page does not have any bookmarks for navigating the almost 2000 page PDF. There is a table of contents at the front, but the Bookmarks tree is much better for navigating a large document because it is always visible, so you don't have to scroll to the front and back all the time. Please add the Bookmarks to the PDF. This is what I mean by bookmarks. A collapsible tree to the side of the document pane, and clicking on any item takes you to that item in the main document.

Running CW 2022-09 on Windows 10. I have three plug in instruments in the Synth Rack. I use the Synth Rack view to show the UI of the plugin - take Omnisphere for example. I want the Omnisphere patch to be saved as part of the track, and be able to change it with Bank/Program Changes on the MIDI track that controls the instrument. If I edit the Patch setting on the Instrument track that hosts Omnisphere, it shows me numbers from 0-127. I can select any of them and the patch in Omnisphere does not change. In the Omnisphere UI, on the VST3 dropdown there is Plugin Properties. There is a setting for "Translate Bank/Program Changes" I've tried both checked and unchecked. I looked at the assign controls, but those are for MIDI CCs and not bank/program changes. I also tried creating the instrument with the MIDI Source Track option, and changing the Patch value on that track. There is still no change of patch in the plugin. I've used four different synth plugins (Omnisphere, CA2600, CS-80V, and Absynth) and none respond to Patch. In contrast, if I create a MIDI track with the MIDI port connected to a physical synth, and I change the Patch value in the track properties, the synth will changes patches normally. This should be easy... What am I missing? What is the process for selecting patches in the plugin instrument?
