Virtual controller is hidden, cant deal with it

[Volodymyr 0]

In one moment virtual controller became invisible. After opening it by hotkey i can play, record, change height, but not see. In workspace, pressing K should mute part of audio, instead virtual controller plays notes. How to fix it?

Fixed.  Turned on full screen mode - controller appeared. Thanks for help anyway

Hi there, it would be helpful if you can provide more details. What virtual controller do you mean? Screenshots might also be useful.

Hi Volodymyr,

Try pressing Ctrl+Tab to toggle through any open windows in Cakewalk.  It's possible that the virtual controller is behind the Track View.  If that doesn't do it, try setting Workspaces to none.

Kind regards,

Play, Record, etc is not being done through the virtual controller. The virtual controller simulates a MIDI keyboard.

If the virtual controller is open and has focus, pressing K plays a C note. And pressing L will play a D note.

The virtual controller is found in the views menu. You can choose a piano or QWERTY keyboard. It does seem to disappear sometimes but if you choose the piano version then pressing computer keyboard won’t toggle terrible things don’t use the computer keyboard. It’s dangerous!

It sounds like reinstalling Cakewalk might be a good idea. It is a painless experience.

Instead of using the keyboard shortcut, try opening the controller from main menu View > View Controllers

With the computer keyboard virtual controller active, keyboard shortcuts like "K" are pre-empted by the controller. The keystroke must go to either the controller or the DAW. It cannot go to both at the same time.

Default cakewalk virtual controller, that opens on ALT+0. Nothing to show, it works in background. Can interact, cant see and close.

It is probably true that controller is behind View. But no ideas how get it. Toggling pages do them unfocused, it means that controller is there.  Nothing helps. I`m like a fisherman who trying to catch a window, hidden deep inside project page
