This plugin is free, and works well with polyphonic sources: https://www.audiopluginsforfree.com/graillon/ You can assign an automation lane to the "Pitch Shift" parameter, giving you an envelope from -12 to +12 semitones: You may want to play with the "Preserve Formants" setting, which can help when going above 5 semitones.

You've probably turned Scroll Lock on. Turn it off, and it'll start moving again. Although... the if you're seeing a small white tab, that would indicate you've entered Advanced Keyboard Editing mode. The Keypad Ins key used to switch that on/off, but the default keymapping was removed a while back.

Very nice... although it would take up most of my living room! I'll need to stick with my Yamaha YDP-142 for the moment

I take it you mean the resolution of the vertical lines? This is controlled by your snap setting.

Purchased.... a VERY nice sounding piano.

I notice this uses iLok... does anyone know how many authorizations you get with it?

Did you move the clip when it was in a frozen state? When you freeze something, it basically creates a brand new clip. When you unfreeze, the old clip is put back exactly as it was, and in its original position. If you definitely didn't move the clip when it was frozen, please save your project as a Cakewalk bundle file (we need the audio), and send it to @Jonathan Sasor.

For those of you asking what my alternatives to Waves are: Vocal Rider: HorNet AutoGain / Melda MAutoVolume R-Bass: Melda MBassador Scheps 73: Analog Obsession BritChannel L2: Melda MUltraMaximizer MV2: Melda MDynamicsMB

My go-to-s: Vocal Rider, R-Bass, Scheps 73, Scheps OmniChannel, L2, MV2. I do have alternatives for all of these (except the omnichannel), but in general I find the Waves ones much easier/quicker to use.

Playing notes that aren't there sounds like you've got MIDI Out enabled on one of your VSTi's. You can check for software synth MIDI outs by looking at the MIDI Input filter on any MIDI track. Anything that appears between your hardware MIDI In's and the Virtual Controller are software MIDI outs, e.g: To disable the MIDI out, open that softsynth and uncheck it in the VST drop down menu: I've used SI Drum Kit as an example here, but all VSTi's have that menu.

It's probably a rogue tempo node at the end of the project somewhere. Open the tempo track, press CTRL + End at delete the last tempo node.

Maybe a MIDI feedback loop causing the Motif's MIDI buffer to fill up? The mp3 does sound very much like a symptom of that.

^^^ This. Almost all cases of really laggy UI, have been down to buggy on-board audio interface ASIO drivers. These ASIO drivers "fail" on specific calls, returning bogus results, but report a success causing Cakewalk to constantly retry to get a sensible result in the background. The answer for on-board audio interfaces is to use WASAPI.

@Hipólito Courvoisier - can you save your project as a Cakewalk bundle file, zip it up along with that dump file and send it to @Jonathan Sasor ? I suspect the issue is a corrupted time (i.e. envelope shape or audio event that starts < 01:01:000 ). We do some clean-up on project load to fix these, but we may have missed some cases - so it would be good to know exactly where this issue is in order to fix it.

You can force a song to pause or stop by inserting an MCI command in a MIDI track ( use either pause or stop in the data field as required ) You can also click here, which will have the same effect:

@Robert Bone - AFAIK the early issues with setting 3 were resolved, but it's very system dependent as to whether it'll improve things or not.

It's in the clip properties within the inspector:

@Adam Grossman- can you confirm which build you are running? There was an issue with the PRV aim assist alignment when using the time ruler in the original 2021.04 release, but it was fixed in a later update. AFAIK, if you're running the latest build 170 this should be fixed:

Set your audio clips to absolute time, then you can set your tempo to whatever you want - the audio clips will ignore it.

The biggest problem with some of the newer NI Kontakt libraries ( like Hybrid ) isn't CC7 / CC10... it's CC 1 (Modulation Wheel). For some crazy reason they've bound it to filter cut-off frequency. When CC 1 is reset to its default (which from the MIDI spec is zero - bear in mind in most synths modulation is usually tied to the LFO for vibrato, so you actually want it off), it sets the cut-off frequency to 0Hz. So no sound whatsoever comes through. There's two workarounds: 1. Turn off "Zero Controllers When Play Stops" 2. Insert a CC 1 / 100 (or whatever you want your cut-off frequency to be) at 1:01:000 within your MIDI track.

The final method (which IMO is the quickest), is to use the pattern tool:

If this isn't what you meant, and what you want is simply a 7/8 groove clip then do this:

@Agincourtdb - If I understand correctly, you want a 7/8 clip to play in the space of a 4/4 bar or 8/8 bar? In that case, it's pretty straightforward - you can use Process->Fit To Time:

@billp - thanks for pointing this one out. It's been fixed and will be included in the official release.

Yes - make a donation to the developer, and he'll send you a registration key to permanently bypass this.
