Sure, thank you very much for the suggestions, they are definitely helpful. Still, would be great to hear from the developers

I'm using the Novation Control Pad Pro (pre mk3), it works with Ableton out of the box - i.e. you can load a project in ableton and see it on the Pad by colors, and when a cell plays the pad button blinks (and stops blinking when the cell is finished). Is it possible to make it work with Cakewalk the same way? Currently it only works one way - from the Pad to Cakewalk. In order for it to work from Cakewalk, I need a way to send special SysEx msgs to the PAD on events in Matrix (like Cell (2,3) plays/stopped), as explained here: https://downloads.novationmusic.com/novation/launchpad-mk2/launchpad-pro -> https://fael-downloads-prod.focusrite.com/customer/prod/s3fs-public/downloads/Launchpad Pro Programmers Reference Guide 1.01.pdf Is there a way to do it currently? If not, could you consider providing it, please (not this particular model support but a way to map Matrix events to SysEx myself)? Also, would be great to be able to upload the Matrix grid configuration to the PAD (probably with CAL?)

There is no binding to turn on/off triple and dotted, I would need to map each of them one by one (4th triple, 8th triplet etc). Otherwise it works. So Bandlab, could you please consider adding a key binding to switch the current triplet and dotted mode on/off, the same as the mouse does? And, maybe, add that increase/decrease duration keybindings?

Hi, I recently used Cakewalk for a theater production, using matrix to turn on/off various clips. The problem I had was the following: when I dropped clips from files to Matrix directly it turned on the looping mode, changing the duration and pitch (because the files naturally didn't constitute one EDM-like music thing that had to be played in the same tempo). To overcome this, I had to move each clip to the track view, go to clip properties, select "Stretch to tempo" and then move the clip back to the Matrix. It was quite time consuming (and took time to realize that Cakewalk was changing the pitch under the hood) So, is it possible to have a switch or an option somewhere to have the "Stretch to tempo" mode for the files dropped to Matrix? Thanks

Am I the only one who misses the staff editing system from the classical Cakewalk (before Sonar)? There, you could enter notes blazingly fast, using mouse to place notes and computer keyboard to control duration: numbers for different durations (1 for wholes, 2 for halves, 4 for quarters, 8 for eights, 6 for 16th, 3 to 32th), plus '.' to make a note dotted and 't' for triples. Almost everything (except triples) could be done on the numeric keyboard. They completely broke it in Sonar where you use mouse for everything making Staff essentially unusable in any productive way, because you have to jump with mouse between staff and duration buttons. That's why I always kept the classical Cakewalk from the 90s installed, to write the score fast. BandLab, is there any chance you could bring it back, as an option, maybe? If yes, maybe you could add a couple more keyboard shortcuts: '+' and '-' to decrease/increase the duration for the new notes by a factor of 2 (i.e. if you're currently entering 8ths, '+' would change it to 16th and '-' would change it to 4th). Thanks!
