Hello all!

I recently purchased an Arturia Keylad Essential 49 midi controller, the problem I'm having is I cannot use the unit for the DAW controls. On Cakewalk under preferences, control surfaces,there is no functiion for 'mackie control'. I contacted Arturia and apparently 'the MCE control surface protocol is not working on Cakewalk by Bandlad'. How do I fix this?

Thank you!

 

Terry

 

Terry,

I am not sure what MCE protocol the Arturia uses but in the case of my Studiologic MIXFACE, I had to disable HANDSHAKING, along with putting the MIXFACE into MCU CUBASE mode and then selecting that for the Cakewalk Mackie Control dialog as well.

Sorry for such short notice.

I am looking forward to featuring The Banjo from INDIGINUS along with several things from Spitfire Audio, including their PIPE ORGANS and Bernard Herrmann Composer Toolkit. Of course there will be lots of joy to go around.

I look forward to seeing you.

I guess, I should leave this here ;^)

Join me TODAY at 4:30 PM EST for another Joyful Journey. Today is going to be pretty wild, windy, and wurli!
So many developers have provided such support and have provided licenses for their instruments to give away during the livestream.
I have each of the nine instruments in SYNCHRON World Winds to give away along with many other surprises and goodies along the way.

I look forward to seeing you later today.
Stay Joyful!
 

That’s cool,

I featured Singularis in this video of a recent Sampletekk Piano Bundle.

Just following up on Antler's query above.  Are all instruments from Celtic Era  (1) included?  Have they been enhanced or modified? Do you actually need Celtic Era (1) on your computer if you have CE2?

I would liked to have seen a midi export function in CE1. Is there any such feature in CE2?

Thanks

Cyril,

All of the instruments in Celtic Era 1 are included in Celtic Era 1. There is also no MIDI export,

Hopefully the Engine will get a much needed overhaul soon to incorporate those types of features as well as updating the gui and such.

Joyfully!

I mean the index of the video in Youtube. We can’t click on Celtic Era 2, but we can click on the other links. Probably it’s missing : , it’s written 0035:15 instead of 00:35:15

Done!
Thanks for that.

Your direct link to Celtic Era is not working in your Youtube video, but I watched it and may upgrade it eventually.

Thanks Yan, strange.
I just tried on my iPad and both were working.
Are you getting an error message or page not found?

Joyfully,

Simeon

Friday’s livestream was nuts!

Here is the full replay featuring Celtic Era 2. The only way I can describe the library is that there is real “heart” inside of the instruments that you experience while playing them. The replay is indexed and I am working on editing stand alone segments as well.

Enjoy!

Celtic Era 2 | CHROMA Grand Piano | GAZE | Giveaways and More!

Stefano is an amazing and generous developer to continue to add more of these preset packs. His new Cinematic Percussion is really nice as well.

Best Service sent this over for me to take a look at, and I am looking forward to exploring it. I am hoping to feature it on Friday’s livestream.

Stay tuned! 📺

I was not seeing it and actually waited to reach out to support until this morning.
I am looking forward to experiencing what’s new.

Joyfully,
Simeon

Incoming!
Soniccouture Vintage Keys Bundle!!!!
https://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/g69-sc-vintage-keys/

Includes Broken Wurli, EP 73 Deconstructed, The Canterburry Suitcase, and Clav

Looking forward to diving into these.

Just to keep things organized 🤓

I had asked Soniccouture to send me an NFR of just the Rhodes and Wurli and they sent me this entire bundle.

I can tell you that the Conterburry Suitcase was a huge surprise! It is not like the Rhodes models similar to Keyscape or the Famous “E”, it has an entirely different personality to it and it is so nice.

The Broken Wurli is also a huge hit. They were able to capture some very wonderful character with this one as well.

More to come!

Yeah, Soniccouture Broken Wurli is pretty special. Have a look at the EP73 Deconstructed too.

This thread is becoming something like a Wurlitzer-palooza 😂

I am sitting on a plane in Dallas for the past hour because of lightning heading home and catching up.
Lot’s of things to consider here.

I almost forgot about this one, VIBRANT which was developed for HALion Sonic by e-Instruments.
This was done about two years ago (wow, how time zooms past us).

I will have to pull this up again as it is currently featured as the instrument of the month for 40% off.

Also, going to brush up on some Ray Charles, and Billy Preston 😎

Look out for audio plugin deals/vstbuzz deals on Gospel Musicians, I got a great deal on a bunch of good stuff and then there are quite fair upgrade offers and deals on GM own website. It helps a lot to login to see the offers.

For Wurli there's one more library worth checking out: Session Keys Electric W from e-instruments.com

Also there's Broken Wurli from Soniccouture but that one, I think, was already mentioned in the other thread.

I will have to check that out,

Talking developers and Wurlitzers I have to mention Teletone Audio.
Here is a video I did for their Vesepertone which has a Rhodes and Wurli. Here is the part of the clip I look at the Wurli.
Far out!

Now for a limited time you can download Soniccouture's HAMMERSMITH FREE.
This is a single mic perspective version of HAMMERSMITH PRO which includes many additional mic positions.

https://www.soniccouture.com/en/free-stuff/

This is a Konkat Player library, so you do not need the Full version of Kontakt to use this.
You register the serial number inside of Native Access. This is provided after you sign up for a user account with Soniccouture
 

They are also having a sale on the Pro version for $99 until September 30th.

Enjoy!
Simeon

Where do you begin?
What are some of the standout titles here?

I am so amazed at not only the amount of virtual instruments but then you go to this next level of superb patch libraries and it gets even deeper still.

Here is a segment from yesterday's livestream, it was a lot of fun!

@Simeon Amburgey, joyful noise!

I love wooden roller coasters. Which one is it? Smaller than Thunder Run. Looks like a park on the smaller side....but not Hoosier Hurricane or The Legend.....hmmm.

This was a long shot of The Beast at King’s Island, possibly my number one coaster, it was amazing! They had retracked some sections which made the ride so much fun! I was able to get a couple of rides, one in the rain. There is nothing like a raindrop hitting you at over 60mph!!! Front seat all the way! You can be sure there were a lot of joyful noises and then some 😂

I also rode Diamondback for the first time, and that is a story all on its own!

We need to take a trip to Holiday World, some very nice coasters there. I love their new Thunderbird!

He is an amazing content creator. When you have been cranking out the videos like he has been doing, I can understand the need to take a break. Your emotional bandwidth can really take a beating without those periodic respites.

I took one of those days today and it was extraordinarily fun! Oh, yeah and lots of screaming (the good kind)!
