You're right about it being a moot point. However, you can enter NRPN events the same way you enter any other events. When you add a Controller, you select “NRPN” as type. Rapture actually has 12 Bend NRPN events available (6 elements, separate up and down). Unfortunately, that values do not correspond to the actual range values. The formula is NRPN value = 16383 * (range / 24) If you have a Rapture patch that uses all 6 elements, then you would need to issue the bend event for each element. Personally I would use automation. Note: The way I use NRPN events in Cakewalk is to control drum parameters for an external SW1000XG card (an various other parameters)

If you have a MIDI track driving a VSTi (or a SIT), then all parameters that are automatable are also listed as NRPN events. For Rapture Pro, the one you're after is BEND UP {1 to 6} and Bend DOWN {1 to 6}

That is correct.

Sometimes I temporarily need a range greater than the default of 2 Yes, I could just keep it at a range other than 2. However, most of my pitch bend are 2 semi tones. It's far easier to achieve this using PB=8191 when the range is 2. If the range was always at a fixed value > 2, then I would have to be very accurate with the mouse to achieve a bend of 2. Besides, I have a Studioware panel combined with a CAL script where all I do is enter the required bend range, and the CAL script enters the correct RPN event to achieve it. I have a separate button just for 2 -I just click it, and it enters an RPN0 > 256 (which makes the range 2) With the Studioware panels and CAL scripts, this is very fast.

I do this in all of my MIDI projects for the SW1000XG.

Can you not automate the pitch bend range parameter(s)? Or you can change the pitch bend range on the fly using NRPN events. In the PRV, you can see all of Rapture's accessible parameters listed. The one you're after in Bend Up and Bend Down. Or you can change the parameter with Write automation

What you might want to try are the beta Focusrite drivers. The release notes specifically mention Cakewalk by Bandlab. Using a non firebox browser, head over here and scroll down to "Focusrite USB2 Drivers 4.87.4" http://beta.focusrite.com

I use a Roland UM-ONE mk2 USB MIDI Interface that I have had since mid 2015. https://www.storedj.com.au/roland-um-one-mk2-usb-midi-interface?SearchID=16882502&SearchPos=1&SearchID=16882502&SearchPos=1

I still would not trust a cheap USB/MIDI cable. Mine has always delivered what I have thrown at it - including all the sysex I can put in a project.

If you stay away from those cheap no-name brands, you should be ok. Only buy branded items from a reputable dealer.....

In my current MIDI only project, they add up to a total of 164 bytes. These are broken up into several banks. These are to set up insert effects and parameters on an SW1000XG.

In TTS-1, for a given track, MIDI CC74 is a low pass filter. The value 63 is the default value. Values less than 63 will decrease the frequency. MIDI CC71 controls the resonance. Again, the value 63 is the default value.

I use sysex all the time via a USB to MIDI cable and I have never had issues with dropped data. In my case, the sysex is to control effects on an SW1000XG installed on another PC. I use MIDIOX to do the routing on that PC. This is via a Roland UM-ONE mk2 USB MIDI Interface that I have had since mid 2015.

I thought they were. https://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards-Components/Sound-Cards/All-series/

Yes it is possible to send patch changes to your synth. I do it all the time from Cakewalk by Bandlab to a circa 1999 SW1000XG card. As far as receiving them, that is also possible. In Cakewalk by Bandlab. you need to make sure that patch changes are enabled for recording. This is done in Preferences | MIDI | Playback and recording > Record; Make sure Patch changes are enabled. Sysex is also supported. I also make extensive use of these for the SW1000XG.

The new company is Luminary See: https://roli.com/stories/roli-reforms-as-luminary-what-you-need-to-know It states the following: “All existing ROLI products will continue to be supported as before — including the Seaboard, BLOCKS, LUMI Keys, Equator2 and ROLI Studio. FXpansion synths Cypher2 and Strobe2 will also continue to be supported.”

One other thing to try. Can you explore to the location where the CWP file is actually stored. Are there other files that have a similar name as your project, but that have a weird extension - ~{date and time}. The filenames I am thinking about would be like this (using Europe Endless - Kraftwerk.cwp as an example) Europe Endless - Kraftwerk.cwp.~2021-08-15-19-37-39-423 These would be present if you have versioning enabled versioning in Preferences | File - Advanced (Advanced) These have been my saviour from time to time.

An exported MIDI file can only have events supported by the MIDI Spec. As far as I know, there is no MIDI event that can tell an entire channel to be silent. Of course, the Cakewalk MIDI export function could simply insert CC7 > 0 at the start of a track you have set as muted. However, there is no guarantee there are not further CC7 events further into that track.

I tried it here as well. Same result. I also opened the file up in a hex editor.... most of the file has the same small text string repeated. Just to be sure, you might want to check your disks for any errors. Use the Windows System Event Viewer to check this Start + Run > eventvwr.msc You can also check your disks overall health with CrystalDiskinfo

If ripple edit is off and there is are no events in the selection, then the Delete will be greyed out. If you want to delete time in your entire project and there are no events in the selection, turn "ripple edit all" on. If you want to delete time in just one track and there are no events in the selection, turn "ripple edit Selection" on.

This instrument requires the FULL VERSION of Kontakt 4, or above.

What are your PC specs? What audio interface are you using. What driver mode are you using?

Depends on which Antivirus product you’re talking about, how it's configured and what exceptions you’re set. With my Malwarebytes Premium, All Cakewalk program and data folders are excluded from the real-time scans.

Yep.....it’s “Section”.... my bad
