What format are the “karaoke files”?

Make sure all vsti's “Enable MIDI outs” are deselected. I would start with Kontakt stuff On all MIDI tracks/Simple Instrument Tracks, make sure all MIDI ins are set to specific MIDI controllers and MIDI channels. (Avoid Omni)

Try disabling C-states and Intel Speedstep (This is done in the PC's BIOS and the method varies between PCs) Try Start + run "control powercfg.cpl,,1" (without quotes) and set CPU Min and Max to 100% (Under Processor power management) In preferences | Audio | Configuration File try adjusting the following: EnableSetThreadIdealProcessor = False MixThreadCount = {number of cores minus 1} You might like to exit Cakewalk by Bandlab, go to the following folder and make a copy of the AUD.INI file before doing this: %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your hardware drivers (Not just for your Audio interface). Do this using manufacturer's websites rather than Windows updates. While you’re at it, you might as well check you are using the latest versions. You might want to update your Vdist runtimes.

Yes

Requires the full retail version of Kontakt 5.6.8 or later.

If you want the tempo to remain at the “uniformly slow speed” though out the “approx 12 measure section”, you need to delete all of the existing tempo changes and then insert your own.

Just do the insert a blank measure at the beginning of each MIDI track, and then copy the MIDI set up data info in the vacant space that you created.

I use direct MIDI commands to do this. But how you would do this depends on how programmable your MIDI controller is. Mine is a PCR-800 and this is easy. I will give you my example of how I do it. Your method will vary - see the user guide for your MIDI controller In the keybinding dialogue box, I use MIDI for the “ Type of Key”, CC119 for the shift command and then the real low notes to do the actual command. If I want to assign the lower Eb-2 key to play, I map this in the keybinding dialogue box. Then set “MIDI shift define” to 119 Then for the relevant transport control, I program the PCR-800 button to send the following: B0 77 7F 90 03 DT B0 77 00 (Where DT is the value of the button) The “77” above is 119 in hexidecimal When I pless the programmed button, the project plays

I stay way from 32 bit plugins these days.

Have you checked the tempo track (In Track view, press ALT+T to open tempo track) to make sure there are no tempo change events throughout the track? If Tempo change events are present, you might want to offset the entire tempo map (right-click the Tempo track and select Offset Tempo Map) Note: When I create MIDI files, I do add tempo changes throughout for realism.

That's why I said there may be others..... CC74, cc73, cc72, cc71.....

Look for sample rates. Look in every possible place were this can be configured and make sure they match absolutely everywhere.

Just tried it here on a PC configured as per my signature - worked fine here. Started with Rapture Pro - Strat sound. Replaced it with Arturia Pigments 3.5 - custom patch Then replaced it with Massive X (VST3) - custom patch Was able to play synths immediately after the replacements. May need some info about your PC set up and version of Cakewalk and what VSTi plugins you are using.

Are there any MIDI CC events in the track?: For Chorus > look for CC93 events. For Reverb > look for CC91 events. For Volume > look for CC7 events. For Pan > look for CC10 events. There may be others. Also, check for MIDI automation nodes (These are different from those in the PRV or Event List View)

Input echo on. MIDI Channels set correctly? List what you have tried so far.....

Pitch bend still glitches my CPU with Chromaphone 3. Mind you, My i5 is slight under the minimum specs. That being said, no other synths glitch (Including Melda Msoundfactory full version and Massive X, Pigments 3.5

I have to confirm this from personal experience. In the time Sampletank 4 has been around, I have had two specific issues that were fixed (and acknowledged in the change logs) in subsequent updates. One was to do with attack times at high velocities and the other was to do with pitch bend ranges not being what was actually dialled in.

like exposing that text colour in the Theme Editor perhaps?

Hell to the no!

Should be possible - depending on the plugin. Does the particular FX have a wet/dry control in the plugin. Maybe enable the plugin’s MIDI in, then create a MIDI track with the Mini MK3 set as its input. Enable its local echo. Then route that track to the particular FX. Then hopefully the particular FX has a MIDI learn function. Enable the particular FX's MIDI learn function. Press the button on the Mini MK3 you want t assign. That should create the mapping. Another way is to create an automation lane for the particular FX's wet/dry control, then enable Remote Control for that lane.

Requires 6.7.1 Full Version.

On my system, I paste multi track clips all the time. Every time they paste in the intended position (the NOW marker). I always have any Snap settings off as most of my pastes are not to the grid. Also , I make sure Ripple Edit is off.

They probably have.... which makes me wonder why IKM have not changed ST4 to not allows this scenario.... instead of crashing....

Thanks for reporting that back to us. Another thing to check with a misbehaving Sampletank 4

I can't say I have had this issue with Sampletank 4.22 and CbB. (see my sig for my PC config) Have you tried the VST2 variant? Does it also happen in stand alone? Have you tried different sample rates, bit depths and sample buffer sizes? I am going to assume you have updated the drivers for your Presonus Quantum 2632 (using website , not automatic updates) to no avail. What graphics adapter are you using? Have you update it's display driver (using website , not automatic updates)? If using the CPU's Intel® UHD Graphics 630 then that driver is here: https://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/support/products/126790/graphics/intel-uhd-graphics-family/intel-uhd-graphics-630.html#drivers-software
