Not a question, more of a heads up for those who use Sampletank 4 (any iteration) I think I have found an issue with version 4.17 of Sampletank 4 that could affect some projects. Here is what I believe to be the issue with 4.17 of Sampletank 4. For any patch that uses the Sampletank 4 engine, the up and down pitch bend ranges do not match what is actually dialled in. The actual range appears to be double what is dialled in. Dial in a range of 1 semi-tone, you get a range of 2. Dial in 5, you get a range of 10 and so on. It is also impossible to get an odd number pitch bend range. This issue does not affect any patch that uses the Sampletank 3 engine. This issue occurs in the Standalone version as well as the plug-in version So if you are 4.17 of Sampletank 4 and you have projects that use pitch bends and some notes seem out of tune. This could be the reason. I have reverted to, and will remain on, Sampletank 4.16 until this is resolved. I have also logged a ticket with IK Multimedia Support regarding this issue.

LOL, me too!

And I changed it to Process|Find/Change...

I have bound custom keystroke SHIFT+F to Process|Find/Change and, for me, this works. However, I do believe you. I too, from time to time, have found that when I have created a keybinding, it has not worked. I think this issue is caused by double-ups in the internal keybinding database. When a keybinding doesn't work, I first bind the offending keybinding to a CAL script (one with an easy name to remember) Then I export my bindings to two KBN files (so you have a unaltered copy for Justin) - these are normal text file. I then open one of the KBN file with a normal text editor and look for the instance of some of the text in the CAL Script name I used. There will be a number starting with Kx bound to the CAL script....... search for other instances of that same KX number. If they exist, then those are probably the duplicates causing the issue. Delete these lines so that the only one left is the one bound to the CAL script. Then reimport the KBN file that you just edited into CbB. Leave the unedited KBN file in case you need it later. Then do your originally intended key binding (SHIFT+F to “Resize and zoom.....”) There have been many times this has worked for me when I create a Key-binding that has not worked. If your keybinding are borked after doing this you can always import the second, unaltered, KBN file to CbB. Note: I offer the same level of warning here that I would offer when editing the registry - only do the above if you know exactly what you are doing.

Because the pasted controller data retains its original MIDI channel, it gets a new controller lane, but does not switch to that lane. I paste controller data between tracks all the time and have worked around this. Most of my MIDI projects comprise 16 tracks, with each MIDI track set to their respective MIDI channels. After I have done a paste, I select all (I have mapped the A key for this), then do a bounce to clips(I have mapped the B key for this). Because I have set RechannelMIDI=1 in the Cakewalk.ini file, when I do a bounce to clip, all MIDI channels in that track get rechannelled to match that of the given track. Then all controller events will display in the given lane because all the MIDI channels are the same. This has been my workflow for as long as I have used Cakewalk platinum and now Cakewalk by Bandlab.

On a PC as per my signature, I am currently on a project with 2 instances of Sampletank 4, 1 of AD2 and 1 of MODOBASS. Each of the Sampletank instances has 4 parts each. The MIDI tracks driving the Sampletank 4 parts are on MIDI Channel 1 to 8 respectively. The Bass MIDI track is on MIDI Channel 9, AD2's MIDI track is on MIDI Channel 10 I am not getting any of the symptoms that you describe. I am thinking there is a MIDI channel configuration somewhere. Meticulously go through all of your MIDI channels. One thing I do is make sure all MIDI tracks in a project have their MIDI channels specified rather than being set to “none” I am assuming you are on Sampletank 4.17

Select track 1 More Now to 1st measure Copy special > select track/bus automation only Make track 2 the active track Paste Special > select track/bus automation I just tried on PC as per signature and this works fine.

With Preferences | Project | Clock > “Ticks Per Quarter Note” set to 960 (The default value), I find a maximum deviation of 20 ticks works well. The reason I mention the “Ticks Per Quarter Note” is because, with MIDI files imported from earlier versions of Cakewalk, this value is less - which affects the actual delay (in ms) a given number of ticks shift will produce. Also, remember, with sounds with higher attack times, the trigger time needs to be slightly before the grid. You want the peak of the sound’s transient to be the guide, not the necessarily the note trigger time.

Just set the key to your desired function. That should override the default. For instance, I have set the following: “A” to select All “B” to Bounce to Clip “V” to Paste

I use CAL scripts for this. One for Random velocity. One for random time placement.

As a test, I Froze, quick unfroze, then quick froze a track with Pigments 3.5 synth with Efx fragments. The resultant track has the generated audio as expected. My Freeze options have “Single bounce per track” and “Track FX” selected only. All other options deselected. PC as per signature.

Can the Startscreen please honour system locale date formats? We use DD/MM/YYYY here, yet my Startscreen shows MM/DD/YYYY. Looks like the Startscreen ignores system locale. Can this please be rectified.

Not by dragging, but Cut Special and Paste Special should do the trick. In both dialogue boxes, select markers only.

I was thinking the same thing when reading through this thread. I have to concur. I have never had the issue as described by the OP

Requires full version of Kontakt 5.8+.

Yes, this is an FX. It needs at least one audio signal to work. I can also respond to a sidechain signal on the envelope follower.

I bought this after testing it for 7 nanoseconds. This thing is fricken awesome!

Mine is on and I don’ have this issue. Note: The latest Nvidia drivers are 511.79 I am wondering if it’s worth going to the Nvidia Control Panel > 3D Settings > Manage 3D settings and doing a restore.

Any preset? Wet slider turned up? Breverb (Cakewalk version) works here. (PC as per signature)

1 or multiple screens? If multiple, does it happen on both screens? Does this happen inspector or track view (or both)? What screen resolution? Windows Scale and layout at 100%? What graphics card? Installed latest graphics drivers (using manufacturer's websites rather than Windows updates). Note: I have configuration as per signature and I am not having this issue.

As a test, I just loaded SI-Electric piano as a Simple instrument and started playing using combination of keys and sustain from a PCR-800 MIDI Controller. The sustain pedal worked without any special setup in CW or SI-Electric piano. Were those CC64 events, shown in that event list view entered manually, or are they the result of you recording them in from your MIDI controller (along with the notes)?

When I say “I like to have only the latest versions installed”, what I mean is the latest version of a particular year...... i.e. The latest 2008, 2013, 2015 versions, etc. I would still leave the latest of each available year installed.

Yes, they do. However, there may some applications that install an earlier version. I like to have only the latest versions installed. From time to time, I have had CbB issues that have been fixed by installing the latest version, even when I believe I had the latest version installed.
