I too heard from the developer after I raised this post. I just had not transposed my keyboard down far enough to control the page selection from my keyboard, doh. But what I really wanted to do was control it from the input midi clip. I then did some experimenting with using midi clips and found that I can do this. The notes to use for selecting pages are midi notes 0 (= page 1), 1 (= page 2), etc. Editing the input midi clip so that you have a short note on these midi notes will select the appropriate page. So thank you everybody for your help

HI Does anyone here use Chordpotion to generate melodies? I have been testing this plugin and am quite impressed by it, but in the manual it says that you can load different progressions into different pages and then switch between pages using the midi notes C0 (= page 1), C#0 (= page 2). etc. I have successfully loaded different progressions into different pages but been unable to switch between pages using my keyboard or a midi clip. Has anyone tried this?

I had a similar problem,which I solved by following this advice on the Cakewalk Knowledge Base https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013392/SONAR-2015-Clean-Install-Instructions. I know it refers to Sonar 2015, but it worked for me. My thanks to Bristol_Jonesey who pointed me in this direction.

Although CW is not on the list of supported DAWs there are Cakewalk users on the forum. So it can't be all bad. I suggest you raise the issue on the Scaler forum.

Unify is, of course, a different application which has different uses. I like it,but not for me at present.

A number of users on the Scaler forum (https://forum.scalerplugin.com/) use EZKeys and EZBass wih Scaler (see https://forum.scalerplugin.com/t/scaler-2-toontracks-ezkeys-ezbass-and-ezdrums-3/11341 in the Scaler Tutorials Category). My understanding is that they are two different but possibly complementary products.

OK, apologies for misinterpreting the joke.

...I don't think so. I believe that the Scaler team has a strategy of releasing point updates 2 or 3 times a year (and these are free). Scaler 2.5 to the current release, 2,7,1, appears to be a stable product. They only release a further update (e.g. 2.7.1) if there is a significant bug that needs to be fixed urgently, and I am not aware of any of significant bugs at the moment, although I think there is a known issue with MACs that appears to be down to interaction between the MAC OS and Logic. (not an issue for Cakewalk users). Support for Scaler is through the User Forum which is fairly active with support being supplied by both users (as per this forum) and the Dev Team. In addition to this I believe the strategy for major (version) updates is every two to three years. Earlier this year they were asking for suggestions for Scaler 3, which I think is planned for 2023. So this doesn't sound like abandonware to me.

I have been busy over the last few weeks, but after a couple of attempts i think I have this solved, now. I have a working copy of Cakewalk by Bandlab. Many thanks to those that helped.

I cannnot use either, and was redirected here from th eCakewalk Sonar forum

When I launch Sonar I only get a splash screen that says SONAR PLATINUM (see attached). I have tried uninstalling it but it is not listed in the apps on the Windows Settings app, or in the Control Panel list of programs. Therefore I am unable to uninstall it. I am running Windows 10 Home version 21H1 on Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz with 16GB RAM.

I agree with the recommendations to watch some tutorial videos on YouTube. Although it is free, Cakewalk is fully featured DAW, which I believe was originally designed around the concept of a mixing desk. It has many good features, but can look daunting to the beginner.

Oops, stupid me, I missed that. Thanksfor your help and patience

Hi scook, I may be missing something here, but your link took me to a topic "Customization - Display". I've been through the preferences dialogues and searched the documentation without success. Where do I find "Bass Octave For Pitches"?

A midi clip containing notes in the range C2 to B3 (white keys only) to trigger chords in a pattern in Scaler 2.5. However, when I tried this in Cakewalk 2022.02 I had to use notes on the range C4 to B5. I have checked the settings on Scaler and they are all set at the default setting. Has anyone else experienced this, or can explain why this is happening Cakewalk? In Live 11 Sclaer uses midi clips in the expected range (C2 to B3),

Hey guys, thanks for your responses, But I have found the answer, and it is really very simple. Basically it is as described by Kurre; i.e. on the instruments that I want to produce a sound I set the midi input to teh appropriate channel of the midi generator. Then there is ome additional step - enable the Input Echo on teh instrument tracks that are receiving the midi, Now it works.

Is it possible to route midi from one track to several different midi tracks on different channels simultaneously? The plugin that I am using generates 5 individual midi clips on 5 different channels and I would like to route each one to a different instrument. Can anyone show me how to do this, if it is possible, without investing inBlue Cat's Patchwork plugin?

I may be being stupid, but why this rush to install Windows 11? If your system is running Windows 10 perfectly well, then why upgrade imediately (if it aint broke don't fix it). Microsoft has a long history of releasing operating systems which have bugs in them. As a (retired) IT consultant my advice to my clients was to always wait until there is an proven stable version before upgrading software. I am going to give Windows 11 a few months befoer upgrading as Microsoft will be supporting Windows 10 until 2025 (no I won'tm wait that long, but I am nlikely to upgrade before 2022). And even then I will forst confirm taht all my important apps have been certified for Win 11.
