Here's One For Ya! RealTime MIDI VariPitch

[sjoens]

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.

I've had strange things happen as well opening older X1 projects.

What I normally do right off the bat is open the project, Save it under a new name (this way the original is left untouched).

I then close cakewalk all together. Reopen Cakewalk and check for the same issue.

Same here. This was just so bazar I had to share.
