With Cakewalk, the MIDI controllers must be powered on before Cakewalk is launched.
Some other DAWs do not require that.
So if the PC has power saving enabled, it may be powering down the USB ports, even with the controller plugged in. Then Cakewalk wouldn't see them at launch time.

It's the only synth I have where it is tied to one machine. Even the ones I have on iLok allow for more than one.
New from Waves! With active WUP, you get two installs at a time! ?

Waves Element 2 is a great analog emulation. Fat and warm!
Got it from Waves a while back on one of their stupid deals.
Grab it while it's free! Or Waves has it direct for $29.99 right now.

I believe that capability is up to the VST instrument itself. I'm not aware of any DAW features for that.
Take a look at these lists:

I think Cakewalk Sound Center was replaced by Rapture Session.
Rapture Session imports your Dimension Pro and Rapture classic presets. So if you can find sound packs for those older synths, they can be used in Rapture Session. This may also apply to Rapture Pro, but I don't have it, so cannot confirm.

Yes, that is the spreadsheet I mentioned previously in the thread
Yes it is the same. Was just pointing it out to help answer the question of how far to go back. Depends on what you want.

Ok, so if I am getting this right, you do not have to go back any further than X2a to start installing on Win 10. Correct. And, of course, it will install on Win 10 or is there a special way to go about it?? By the way Scook, thank you for directing me over here. Don't know why I didn't find this thread. I certainly searched. Oh well . thank you. Trying to get all my ducks in order before the end of the week and the unit arrives. thank you all.

Windows X will probably offer this concept on their new core, where various modules will be allowed to run Win32/64 via self-contained instances. Would not be surprised to see it.
Were you referring to Windows 10X? I couldn't locate anything about "Windows X".

Anybody got this and care to compare to OB-Xd by DiscoDSP?

Thank You. IS there anything similar with cool electronic sounds around the same price?
What price were you going to pay? Hard to recommend without a range to work with.
Is a full featured arpeggiator/sequencer the most important feature?
Do you want something with lots of cool factory presets, or are you planning to design your sounds from scratch?

I take back previous comments on the year of Linux. It appears that the company many detest is going to allow gui Linux apps to run in their operating system. With the power of Microsoft, it just may happen!
Grant
Maybe Microsoft could replace the core of Windows with the Linux kernel, and just use the Windows GUI as the desktop environment?
Windows 11 anybody?
And they could bolt on the Windows API (Win32) , since they own the code. Then you could then run either native Linux or Windows apps. ?

My life is too short to look for ways to make my workflow more complex.
This ^^^
I have used Linux for years. But as said previously, Linux is best as a server operating system. Yes, it does do a desktop, but life is too short. Windows does it better. ?

GK Amplification by Audiffied is a great Gallien-Krueger bass amp sim. There is a free version along with a pro version that is rather affordable.
I used the free for a long time and was so impressed I invested in the pay version. It still finds its way into my projects to this day.
I'd say +1 for the GK Amplification. I use the LE version.
I'd say it sounds great. For example when using it with the Ample Sound free P-Bass, it makes a huge difference.
The free GK bundle is here. https://shop.audified.com/products/live-guitar-and-bass-bundle-le

Install the XLN installer and after that you can install XLN products that you have payed from their site.
Not just the ones you payed for. The Addictive Drums licenses were also bundled for free with certain editions of Cakewalk Sonar, and are still valid.
But the same advice applies to recover those products with XLN installer, for example if you get a new computer and expected Cakewalk Command Center to install them for you, along with Sonar. Surprise, not there!

Fair warning!
In my experience, it has been the Win10 Feature Updates most likely to cause this mayhem, as they run a Windows upgrade on your installation. In fact your system ID changes with each Feature Update, which can mess with some software activations.
I don't recall the monthly quality and security patches messing with my settings.

One thing I forget to mention - I would change the USB cable just to eliminate that - it can be something as simple as a different cable - there might appear nothing wrong with the cable and it will work on other things, but I have found over the years that just changing to a different cable can resolve some USB issues !!
And maybe try a different USB port while swapping cables.
Often you will find more than one USB controller hub onboard your PC, so you may be able to locate a spare USB port connected to a different USB controller hub.

I thought you were kidding about it being an IK thing... until I scrolled to the bottom...
But it could be a good contact tracer if EVERYBODY wore one...

Maybe try renaming the file "TTSSEQ.INI" so that Cakewalk will rebuild the .ini file from defaults.

Try running "LatencyMon" from Resplendence. https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon
"LatencyMon checks if a system running Windows is suitable for processing real-time audio and other tasks. LatencyMon analyzes the possible causes of buffer underruns by measuring kernel timer latencies and reporting DPC and ISR excecution times as well as hard pagefaults. It will provide a comprehensible report and find the kernel modules and processes responsible for causing audio latencies which result in drop outs. "

- With record on, nothing is recorded when playing
- Unplugging and re-plugging of USB cable gets the message that device has been removed/added from within CW
You stated that nothing is recorded when playing.
But can you hear the instrument respond when you just play the keyboard?

These were my thoughts on this too. Intel no longer uses hyper threading?
Intel uses hyper-threading in addition to multi-threading on certain processors.
The way I see it is like this:
Say you have four cores. If your software can run on all 4 cores simultaneously, that is done by using 4 threads. In other words, this is multi-threading. It is on by default in multi core Intel CPUs, but your application software has to be written to support it.
Hyper-threading is when Intel enables 2 threads per core, resulting in extra "virtual" cores. So a 4 core Intel processor can run 8 threads when hyper-threading is enabled. So a quad core processor, with hyper-threading enabled, will appear to have 8 "virtual" cores.
I cannot speak for AMD in this regard, as I have never used their processors.

I have also found that using Reaper as a sort of middle man in the case of opening unconventional MIDI GM files sometimes works better than Cakewalk. It intelligently detects the channels and asks if you want separate tracks.
After opening the GM file in Reaper, just re-save the MIDI there, and then open the Reaper version in Cakewalk! Should have separate tracks per channel now!
Reaper is available as a free 60-day trial in case you want to test this theory... not suggesting a switch, just another MIDI tool.

Free: IK Syntronik OXa
in Deals
Posted · Edited by abacab
OXa is fully sampled oscillators, with modeled filters and effects.
OB-Xd from DiscoDsp and OB-Xa from Arturia are virtual/modeled analog oscillators. Part of me would like to believe that Arturia's model might be more sophisticated that 2Dat's (the original dev for OB-Xd).
