What are the things you have checked so far?

I have just put a feature request to add an option to delete unused Patch Points without having to save and reopen project.

In the Sonar help guide, under “To delete patch points”, it states “When you open a project, Sonar automatically deletes any unused patch points in the project” This means to delete unused Patch Points in a given project, one has to save and reopen project to do so. This can take a while for large projects. Can we please have an option to delete unused Patch Points without having to save and reopen project?

When you open a project, Sonar automatically deletes any unused patch points in the project. So, to delete those 21 points, and they are unused, all you have to do is save and then reopen your project.

Simple Instrument Track. A combined MIDI/Synth/Audio track on a single track.

Ah, the reason I could not open the Synth’s gui from the console view is because I used a SIT.

I replicated your configuration using AD2 and Pigments. I had Ad2 routed to their respective audio tracks (9 in total) Pigments is routed to it’s respective audio track. I am not sure where you are clicking when you say “double click the input on the console for Addictive Drums”. From the TV, I double clicked the track icon to open the respective synth VSTi. Each synth’s GUI opened correctly. No patch point was created. I have created a keybinding to open the selected synth’s VSTi gui. This works from whatever window is open - including the Console View. This is under “Global Bindings” and is called “Open Soft Synth on Current Track” To delete 21 patch points, open the Track Manger, then select “Order by” track type (three horizontal dots under the bin icon to the right of the GUI). This will collate all the Aux tracks together in the list. The icon to the left of the track’s name will point out the Aux tracks. Then you can hold CTRL while dragging the mouse over the track numbers select all Aux tracks. Make sure only the Aux tracks are selected. Then, from the TV, right click on one of the selected tracks. Then select “Delete x tracks” from the menu. From , the Console View, select “Delete x tracks” from the Track menu.

Yes. Some VST3 versions of a given synth plugin do not respond to patch change MIDI events, whereas the VST2 version does.

Not at this time.

CbB is bitmap based. Sonar Free and Sonar Premium is vector based. To implement a Theme editor for Sonar would require a complete rewrite . Maybe down the track, the adjustment of more colours can be made possible. However, other than that, I do not see this as being a priority at this time.

Could assigning a Keybinding to Track View > Clips | Apply Trimming help here?

Now, you know no one is going to be able to answer that definitively, don’t you?

From CbB help menu, Log off and then log on. Sometimes you need to close existing browser windows first.

I put all articulation maps before any note they need to apply to. I also make sure that Chase Mode is set to “Full” for any articulation maps I have.

Currently, when issuing a Process - Slide, and selecting seconds as the unit, only whole numbers can be entered. Can this be changed to allow a mantissa in the number of seconds. Yes, I know I can use Nudge, but that is a bit of a kludge (I know, that rhymes). However, using Process - Slide, allowing for a mantissa for the number of seconds, would be much quicker. This is similar to what was added to the Menu Process - Length percent.

If you get this issue again, I would be looking at a new graphics card.

Can it be assumed that you have already tried uninstalling, download the latest, and reinstalling your graphic drivers?

I did a fresh install of Sonar Free on a PC that had never had a previous version of Cakewalk installed. When running Sonar Free for the first time on this PC, and it came to the workspace choice, it only let me select “None”. Clicking on the other options did nothing. So maybe if you are running Sonar Free, “None” is what it uses. Of course, if you signed into the Cakewalk Product Centre with an account that has Bandlab Membership, then you would be able to select a Workspace. I think that the part of the initial Sonar start up that asks about workspaces, there should be the gold crown present like other parts of Sonar to indicate a premium feature (if you are using the Free Tier).

Is this not what Preferences - Customisation - Backup/Restore Settings does? See: http://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=CakewalkSonar&language=3&help=0x20FCB

Version 2024.12 Build 125 is the most recent version of CbB. Cakewalk by Bandlab will not reactivate after August 1. An activated CbB will stay activated after August 1. However, when that activation runs out, it will not reactivate. When that happens depends on when the last time CbB reactivated. My understanding is that an unactivated CbB can still load projects. OK you will get a toast that CbB is unactivated. You will not be able to save or export your projects. Going to Sonar Free Tier (or preferably, Sonar Premium via a Bandlab paid Membership) would be the way to go. See: https://www.cakewalk.com/sonar#FAQ Note: If any of the above is incorrect, I am happy to be corrected.

I think that would cause a tear in the space-time continuum. Granted the destruction could be limited to merely our own galaxy..... We wouldn’t want to break causality........

Yes, that is why. Until August 1, 2025, only version 2024.12 build 125 of Cakewalk by Bandlab will refresh its activation. After l August 1, 2025 no version of Cakewalk by Bandlab will refresh its activation. Your options are to either: ­· download and install Sonar Free tier (Or Premium if you have an active Bandlab membership) Or · If you have a licence to do so, install and use a previous version of Cakewalk (Prior to Cakewalk by Bandlab).

Drum Replacer is present in my Region Effects menu. Can it be assumed that you have done a Reset and scan. Are the Drum Replacer files physically present on your PC? On mine, there are two folders under Sonar Resources (mine is a custom location) Here are the Drum Replacer folders are they appear on mine. Yours will be different. However this should help you locate them on your system, if present. D:\Sonar resources\Drum Replacer (this has the actual content) D:\Sonar resources\Cakewalk Shared\Shared Utilities\Internal\Drum Replacer (this has the VST3 file and graphics)

With my test, my MIDI prepare buffer size is 50ms and I used a negative delay of -300ms and the articulation map still produced the required result. Also, please correct me if I am wrong on this one, but can MIDI prepare buffer size not be dynamic depending on the MIDI data stream? See: https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002369593-What-s-the-difference-between-Cakewalk-Sonar-and-Cakewalk-by-BandLab

And unless you specifically configured that workspace not to, it would have loaded the keybindings stored in that workspace. If that workspace is now being used in Sonar Free (and is now locked) then keybindings stored in that workspace will still be loaded - even after you have changed your keybindings yourself.
