It depends what the drivers are for. I don't use Dell hardware so I can only assume that if that page says it it up to date, then you should be all good. As far as the DMXis sometimes losing communication with Cakewalk by BandLab. It's probably more a case of the DMXis losing communication on a hardware level. Check that the USB power management is disabled - this is done in the device manager properties for the USB Root hubs (start+ run devmgmt.msc)

You might want to consider completely uninstalling "TinyWall" altogether. The built in Windows firewall is more than adequate for the task these days.

You might want to get this issue sorted before troubleshooting the issue with the DMXi - they could actually be related.... When you say “downloading latest drivers”, which specific drivers are you having issues with?

You might want to contact Corel support here: https://support.corel.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=209638

Has it ever worked, or is this an issue that has just started happening? Are you on the latest version of Cakewalk by Bandlab (Which is 2021.1 Build 75 - though there is also a hotfix to build 86) Is your Windows fully patched and all drivers update to date (Using manufacturer's websites rather than Windows updates) Are you using version 1.70 Win (64bit VST) of the DMXIS App https://www.enttec.com/product/controls/dmx-lighting-control-software/dmxis/ Can you give us some information about your system (version and build number of Windows, Hardware, etc)

Have you tried the build 86 early release Hotfix?

Are you clicking the mouse at the correct location? (Just above the point where you drag to view the Drum Pane)

Are you using ASIO driver mode? What Buffer size, sample rate, bit depth are you using? Are you using any plugins that use look ahead (like a linear phase EQ) Your PC specs would be handy as well See signature for my details (I do not have any latency or sound issues with those settings)

Does anyone else have the issue that if you click the PRV menu item: View | Show\Hide Articulation Pane on an active track in Build 85, that nothing happen? This is on a newly added MIDI track (or SIT) (Works fine in 2021.1 Build 75 - which I have reverted to)

Contact support@cakewalk.com

All fine here 2021.1 Build 75. Pressing keys on my MIDI controller show the key in my PRV (Yes I know 2021.1 build 85 is available, but I am having an issue with articulation maps that makes build 85 a show stopper for me)

With 2021.1 Build 085, I am now unable to display the articulation map pane on a newly created MIDI track (Or SIT) in a new project. Clicking the PRV menu item: View | Show\Hide Articulation Pane has no effect. I can, however, display the articulation map pane from an existing project. But even on an existing project, a newly created MIDI track exhibits the same issue. I reverted to 2021.1 Build 075 and the View | Show\Hide Articulation Pane on a newly created MIDI track is worked again Anyone else experiencing this before I shoot a note to support?

Are you saying that you load a template with that setting unchecked. Then eventually, without loading a new project , the setting is becomes checked? If that is the case, I have never had that issue in the 22 years I have been using Cakewalk (Up to the latest CbB)

Because this is under “Projects" in preferences, this is a per project setting. It will also be set as part of a project template. If you want this setting to be checked (or unchecked), save your start up template with this setting as you would like it. With the same project open, it should not change of its own accord.

Time to upgrade your internet. If you think 566 MB is large, wait until you see the size of some third party libraries..... (UVI world Suite 2 clocks in at 28.5 gig, Sampletank 4 Max clocks in at 260GB. Some libraries are even larger)

I'm curious If an MPE enabled keyboard (like a ROLI device) performance was recorded with CbB, would the data received be standard MIDI data (including poly aftertouch), albeit on all 16 channels? If that's the case, if you have 16 MIDI tracks, all set to their respective MIDI channels in the track's settings and all armed and recording, would such a recording populate all 16 tracks with MIDI data - including the poly aftertouch?

Very good points. I do indeed use a Hardware synth (Yamaha SW1000XG) that excepts Sysex strings. For a while now, I have indeed been making extensive use of SYSEX banks. These work really well I also have written many Studioware panels that themselves contain sysex. (Please don't ever drop support for opening these in CbB - and CAL scripts). I can see where you are coming from in in regards SYSEX in Articulation maps - and I am agreeing there. I can also see the issue you would have for the various Chase modes for articulation maps that contain SYSEX strings. Some SYSEX strings can be quite long and the synths need time to process some of them. Also, there has to be enough people who would use the feature to warrant the amount of work put into it. I am going to have to concede that I am very much in the minority. Therefore, I am happy to continue using Studioware panels. As regards NRPNs and NPNs. I keep forgetting that they are simply combined standard controllers that can be added to Articulation maps. So in essence, in a round about way, NRPNs and NPN functionality in Articulation maps is already there -just not as direct entries. For those I will just continue to use standard PRV NRPNs and NPN controller lanes (with the right INS file) - the names are all there in my case. The main thing I use NRPNs and NPNs for are setting pitch bend range and adjusting individual drum parameters in XG. A big thanks to the developers for fixing the pitch bend ranges in Articulation maps BTW - that was much appreciated.

You know what would be awesome? If Articulation Maps could contain SYSEX strings. Also NRPN and NPN values would be awesome as well.

Maybe. However, if I had a buck for the number the times a diagnostic says that it's “X” and it ends up being “Y”, I would be able to retire by now.... Sometimes one has to think outside the square.....

Increase the sample buffer size ( in Preferences | Audio | Driver settings) even further and see what happens..... There is no “What size should the buffer be”. If it is a buffer issue, then the “size it should be” is when you are no longer having any drop outs. On a side note, it could be a plugin doing this. Try without any plugins enabled (illuminate the “FX” on the Mix Module) Also, you don't mention the type of drive your Audio data is on (Spindle 5600 RPM / 7200 RPM / SSD)

"Warning: for full retail Kontakt only (Kontakt Player not supported)!"

My first guess is that there are stray pitch bend MIDI events in your MIDI track that is attached to the Koto. Use the Event List view to rule this out. (Maybe use Event Manager to view just wheel events) Another possibility is that due to a fault with your keyboard controller, it's sending spurious pitch bend MIDI events. Another possibility is a sample rate mismatch between your project and windows sound settings (44.1 khz vs 48 khz) - you don't say whether you're using ASIO or WASAPI

I have to say, this, combined with El-Clapo does a near perfect "We will rock you" intro! Just make sure you freeze those claps, unless you like a maxed out CPU

When you say "wouldn't boot." - that's meaning?..... won't power up at all? Powers up , but blank screen - and hard drive light activity?. You see the boot process but hangs at part of the Windows boot phase?

There is. If you own El-Clapo and you log on to your BOZ account (make sure EL-Clapo is listed on your “products” page), then the price becomes $US5.00 on checkout. Note, this is preorder, so you will have to wait for BOZ to make the finger snaps, and foot stomps available. If you preorder, you will get an email when the finger snaps, and foot stomps are available.
