@aleo- Can you send your .cwp file to @Jonathan Sasor - we'll take a look.

FWIW, PC-2A is included in CbB / Sonar, which is exactly the same as CA-2A except: It's a Pro-Channel only module There's no side chaining There's no Mac version
-
That WONT work. SONAR Platinum didn't install CA-2A - it was always a separate installer. If CA2A isn't appearing in the Cakewalk Command Center, then it's not available for you.
-
You should be able to activate it via the Cakewalk Command Center - you can download the latest version here: https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Command-Center - make sure you have this one, as older versions won't connect to the new servers.

The Articulation Map editor always shows the MIDI note number alongside the C0, C-1 etc because there's no standard for middle C. The MIDI note number is for middle C is always 60 however, so if you can, refer to the MIDI note numbers instead. Changing the base octave for pitches will not affect the actual notes stored in the articulation maps - just whether it shows "C3 [60]", or "C2 [60]" etc, so you can change that setting as you see fit.

The MackieControl.dll is common to both Sonar and CbB, and there have been very few changes to MackieControl.dll - certainly nothing that would explain what you're experiencing. Can you provide screen shots of your: Preferences->MIDI->Playback and Recording page Preferences->MIDI->Control Surfaces page Mackie Control dialog page (from the Utilities menu)

[SOLVED] Can I disconnect many soft synths at once
msmcleod replied to gmp's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Other drag/drop plugin browser enhancements: Drag/Drop an effect to the sends cluster, and it'll create a bus with that effect on it and a create a send to that bus. If you hold CTRL while dropping, it'll quick group for all selected tracks. Handy for creating sends from multiple tracks to a new reverb bus. If ALT is down, it'll do the same but using a send to an Aux track instead. -
You may find that Sonar X1 requires older VC++ redistributables, as the "rollup" redists only cover VS2015 - VS2022. Sonar X1 was released in 2011. You can find the older ones here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 Be aware though, that redists prior to 2015 are no longer officially supported in Windows 11. In saying that, Sonar X2 is working fine here on my Windows 11 machine (upgraded from Windows 10). I've got the redists for VS2005, VS2008, VS2010, VS2012, VS2013 and the VS2015-2022 installed. If you're going to install them, start at VS2005 and make your way forward, finally re-installing the latest VS2015-2022 redists.

From my conversations with Noel about this, unlike MacOS which forces you to use ARM64 plugins if you run as ARM64, and forces you to use x64 plugins if you're running in Rosetta, ARM64EC will allow you to run a mixture of ARM and x64 plugins. What I'm not clear about is whether ARM64EC will run only ARM64EC & x64 plugins, or ARM64, ARM64EC and x64 plugins. I suspect its the latter though. There will be a small performance hit when running x64 plugins on an ARM machine though, as it'll be emulating the Intel code.

[SOLVED] LP-64 Multiband compressor/limiter
msmcleod replied to Cyril Johnson's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
We've found/fixed the issue. The fix will be available in the next update. -
FWIW - up until 2 months ago, I was on Windows 10 and besides the main title bar colour (it's white on Win 10, themed on Win 11) I didn't encounter any graphical issues. I'll be trying out 1394 FW at some point the next month or two, when I try to get my old Yamaha 01X mLAN install working on Win 11. I know at least one user on the 01X Facebook group has it working on Windows 11, so I don't think there's a general 1394 FW issue on Windows 11. I've not had any issues with audio drivers on Windows 11, so you may be ok. Best to see if you can reach out to fellow Apollo users before you consider upgrading though.

If you've been battling to get two tracks to fit together without fighting each other, this does the trick. I don't use it much myself (if EQ fails, I'd rather re-visit the arrangement or the sounds I'm using), but it certainly does the job if you're struggling, and can be a massive time-saver.

A very cheap keyboard stand.

They've been a bit naughty here... CC101 is indeed an RPN, but they're meant to be sent out in pairs (as per MIDI spec)... i.e. CC101 should be paired with a CC100 - which is what Sonar will do. I think using an articulation map may get around this.

[SOLVED] Sonar free NO SYNTH RACK VIEW?????
msmcleod replied to Pathfinder's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
The SynthRack is fully functional in the free version. -
Problems with delay per articulation feature.
msmcleod replied to Nigel Simmons's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
The other thing to bear in mind, is that you can’t negatively delay before 1:01:000. Any articulations that are delayed such that they would be delayed before 1:01:000, will be clamped to 1:01:000. The way around this is to insert a blank measure at the beginning of the project.
