  1. Best way to learn is to open Theme Editor and poke around. It's divided into fairly obvious views, tho some things are actually in the wrong place. (I've racked my head a few times looking for things that should be in another place).

    Just know not everything is in there or changeable.

    Download and look at other's themes to see what they've changed.

  2. 1. Today I discovered CbB's PRV Controller Pane is not configured right for Pitch Bend.

    Instead of -8192 to 0 to 8191 (as in older Sonar versions) it maintains 0 to 64 to 127 (same as Velocity).

    The middle center point is there but labeled "64" instead of "0".

    Request to return it to the previous labeling.

  3. Yet another 1st for Sonar/CbB.

    I open CbB and drag in an old wrk file with 8 simple MIDI tracks I recorded from my old synth a few years back in Sonar X1.

    Reassign the midi outputs to the proper location.

    Hit play and all is good. Then I notice all the faders are maxed out to 127.

    So I hold ctrl and click a track to select all tracks and move the faders to 100.

    Hit play again and, HUH??? All but one track transposed up an octave.

    How'd that happen? I didn't do anything, I swear!

    Then I tried to move the faders down to 100 while still grouped together and discovered as I moved them up and down the whole song was transposing up and down.

    I've never heard of such a thing.

    Is it supposed to do that?

    I thought the fader thingies were for +/- volume output, not +/- octave pitch.

    I never knew about this feature. Shall we call it RealTime MIDI VariPitch?

    What will this li'l piece of software come up with next?

    I can hardly wait to find out. :S

  4. If your problem is with the controller part, Sonar/CbB's MackieControl.dll has issues with some Behringer stuff.

    One of the links above goes to Azlow's dll (a forum member) which is version 17.5.5.0.

    There's another dll, version 17.5.3.0, which works for my Behringer. Let me know if you want to try it.

  5. Could be we're having CbB vs. video card issues that crop up every now and then. Sonar was famous for this.

    Flickering screens are a good indicator for video problems. For now I just write VS off as a lame duck feature.

    To this day Sonar & CbB have little things going on like aim assist line that won't go away even after I close the program. It just hangs in space.

    I have no real need for VS and have only now tried to use it, so it's not a big deal for me. Still it should work as advertised and it doesn't.

  6. It seems to work in SPLAT (tho the editor disappears as soon as it opens), but not in CbB.

    I follow the online directions. I watch the videos. But all I get is a dead VS Editor that does nothing.

    After selecting a track and creating the region FX, the Editor dial opens but instead of the track name at the top, it says <Select Guide> and the dropdown is defunct.

    The clip turns gray and says "Vocalsync" in the name but it isn't split in half like the pictures show.

    If I click anywhere away from the editor, it disappears.

    The online doc says "Right-click the desired guide track and select Set as Default VocalSync Guide Track on the pop-up menu."  but there is no such selection in the pop up menu.

    Is something wrong with CbB's VS here?

  7. At least it works for you. Not here. Total lame duck. I can create a region from a clip and VS opens but it's dead. All the header says is <Select  Guide> and there's no drop down list.

    I've read the online doc which is no help. I watched YT videos that don't explain what I'm doing wrong or why mine doesn't work. If I'm missing a step, there's no info on what that would be.

    I especially like the part that says "Right-click the desired guide track and select Set as Default VocalSync Guide Track on the pop-up menu." - There is no such selection in the pop up menu. In fact, the moment I click anywhere, the editor window disappears.
