Ship happens.

All present and accounted for....SIR!

I'm confused. Sometimes they DO show up in the Eventlist.

I doubt there is a workaround for this and it will probably never be fixed but.... I disassembled a MIDI file to see the controller messages: MFile 1 2 960 MTrk 0 Meta SeqName "Test" .... MTrk 0 Meta TrkName "Track 1" 0 PrCh ch=1 p=0 0 Par ch=1 c=10 v=4 0 Par ch=1 c=91 v=77 (This one) 64 On ch=1 n=60 v=127 608 On ch=1 n=60 v=0 ... You can see controller 91 (external effects, reverb in this case) is set to 77. Here is how it looks in Cakewalk: Note: The reverb dial is set to 77 but there is no controller in the event list. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Is that a slam on 2x4's? Wow, somebody is board.

Fair enough. Name a non-Microsoft app.

Name one.

I think it was called: WebView2 Runtime Which I think is a sneaky way Microsoft is trying to force their browser onto our machines by illegally taking advantage of their monopoly. The .NET framework already includes browser tools. In any event, put this in a batch file and run it as administrator: Be gone demon spawn!

Yes. But, if it is a plain MIDI file...it can never be saved as a track. So, adding something, unasked, that can't be saved....is not an...um...er....optimum design decision.

So, I went into my archives and installed a much older version of Cakewalk. It recognizes my soft-synth like every other MIDI program in Windows...unlike the newest Cakewalk. TTS-1 still kept getting inserted as a track so I unregistered it which fixed that problem. In an admin command shell: regsvr32 /u C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared DXi\TTS-1\TTS-1.dll Next, I'll spend hours trying get the Edge crapware off my system that Cakewalk decided to infest me with. Thanks for nothing! A pox on whomever did that. And, since I'm part gypsy, that person is going to need Calamine lotion soon!

To be more precise, that someone just wants to edit MIDI files.

Let's say, theoretically, someone was fed up with the recent changes to Cakewalk because it completely disabled their setup. What would be the best replacement?

It looked like it tried to install Edge at the same time....sneaky bastards. I caught it in time. Don't need to crapware on my machine.
