The Event Inspector supports a several ways to including percentages, ticks and the time used in the OP

Inserting Melodyne in the track FX rack is NOT a clip effect. The clip based method Noel was referring to is using the plug-in as a Region FX. Here is a recent post about using Melodyne as a Region FX

I downloaded TAL-BassLine-x64.zip from https://tal-software.com/products/tal-bassline The zip contains a single file - TAL-BassLine.dll - the VST plug-in. After copying it into the scan path, the plug-in scanned OK. Both of the plug-ins mentioned should not be a problem. You may want to run a VST Reset and generate a scan log to see what the scanner is doing. To run a reset, open VST Settings in Preferences verify "Scan in Sandbox" and "Generate Scan Log" are enabled then click the Reset button. When the scan completes there should be a message telling you where to find the log.

The procedure to report this type of problem is covered in this thread

It is not clear if the OP is using Melodyne as a Region FX or if it is loaded in the track FX Rack.

They probably started here

I grabbed the Awesome Piano (VST2 64).zip from https://sites.google.com/site/digitalsystemic/home/awesome-piano Copying the Awesome Piano (VST2 64) folder and its content into the scan path CbB picked up the plug-in OK. It is important to copy all the contents of this zip. The Awesome Piano (VST2 64) folder contains the VST called Awesome Piano.dll and a folder called Awesome Instruments which contains Awesome Piano.mse a data file used by the plug-in. VST2 plug-ins have a .dll extension. VST3 plug-ins should have a .vst3 extension. Other supporting files may be included with the plug-in such as the .mse file in this case.

The Value drop down shows commonly assigned CCs but CC numbers may be enter directly into the Value field. Here is a video setting up CC55 for automation

Instead of appending to this request, consider creating separate request threads in the Feedback forum.

The Event Inspector operates on selected notes. This thread discusses velocity but it also can change note duration.

Here is a recent thread about one free audio editor About once a year, Humble Bundle sells a MAGIX bundle including SoundForge Pro (one version older than current) for ~$25 It is worth keep track of the deals subforum for the next time this comes up.

Maybe ripple edit will help. It is discussed in this thread

Is it a 32 bit plug-in? If so, for those plug-ins to minimize like 64 bit plug-ins use the plug-in header. The plug-in header is a separate window which opens behind the UI when holding down the ALT+SHIFT while adding the plug-in or opening its UI. To minimize a 32 bit plug-in, close the UI and minimize the plug-in header window. The plug-in header window is also dockable.

MIDI automation is available on MIDI tracks only. When using an instrument track, it is necessary to split the track to gain access to MIDI automation on the MIDI track. Split and Make Instrument track are on the track view track headers content menu.

The MIDI channel drop down in the instrument/MIDI track

When done filling out the 4 bars, select the clips in track view then use the Track View Clips menu bounce to clip(s) function to create one 4 bar clip.

The title is a little misleading. These are questions about instrument definition files. In CbB drum maps are something else. I don't use hardware synths and have only used ins files for custom PRV note name layouts. That said, I can help with a few questions based on info in http://www.tweakheadz.com/how_to_build_a_cakewalk_ins_file.htm 3 - no 4a - yes

A pdf version of the help is available for download here I prefer to use the web-based version because it is always current but the pdf is updated almost as fast the the web-base help.

Here is a link about working with the web-based help. It references another post with more hints about how to more effectively search the current help pages.

Melda is running their year-end sale for a couple more days. Everything is discounted ~50%. MCompare is $33.

Thanks All the tools on that page are autohotkey scripts

Inside CbB, all 32bit VST plug-ins have (32-bit) appended to their names in the plug-in lists and depending on the theme may have their own font color in the browser 64bit VST2 and VST3 may have different icons and browser font colors depending on the theme The "Sort by Type" layout organizes plug-ins into DX, VST2 and VST3 folders. If you prefer, there is a VST Inventory tool on my Google page that builds a report from the CbB VST scanner info in the registry.

Have you tried the 2019.12 early access release?

Windows does - use the lens view, adjust the size and zoom as needed Window+Plus - brings up the magnifier Window+Esc - closes the magnifier
