Hi msmcleod Yes, this is in line with what I have heard and read on the internet. I took a look at the editing pages of the XV 5080 on the Roland website. There are a lot of parameters, but I like this and the structure is very logical for me. I particularly like the envelope with the two! attack and decay times and levels. My D50 also has this, which I really appreciate. To summarize, my decision has been made for the XV 5080.

Hello Wookiee, Thank you very much for the information. That really helps me, as it has made my decision in favor of the XV 5080. The issue with the single patches is annoying, but I think I'll get the plugin. I really like the old Roland sound and it goes well with my existing D50.

Hello everyone, I am thinking about buying a Roland JV 1080 of the Roland Cloud. I am particularly interested in the variety of presets (natural instruments). However, there is also the Roland XV 5080 in the Cloud. I once read somewhere that the XV 5080 contains all presets of the JV1080. If this is true, buying the JV 1080 would be total nonsense, as both devices cost the same and I would then naturally go for the XV 5080. Does anyone have both modules and can say something about them? Unfortunately, I just found a list of the 1080s presets.

Thank you very much for your help. That was exactly what I was looking for. On my Akai keyboard it was -1 octave.

I have a basic question about Cakewalk. I have a problem with my MIDI master keyboard that has been bothering me for a while. When I play 1 line c' (C4) on the MIDI master keyboard, it is a small octave c (C3) in Cakewalk's score view. Is there a way to transpose this basically in Cakewalk? Please forgive me if this has already been asked here. I have searched but not found it.

Also very nice is the free Bass from Amplesound: https://www.amplesound.net/en/pro-pd.asp?id=19

I think I have installed it correctly. I can select the strummer as an instrument in Cakewalk and it's there. I can call it up and edit all the settings. But what doesn't work is the connection to a guitar addon (no matter which one I use). I've tried just about every possible setting. Without success. Many thanks for the precious advice. I have given up using Mildon Strummer in the meantime. I am very interested in the Virtual Guitarist series. The reports I've read about it and the videos on the subject meet, or rather exceed, what I'm actually looking for. What's more, the entire series is currently on special offer.

Many thanks for the tip. I've tried a lot of things now, but couldn't get it to work. That's a shame as it's free. But I've now turned my attention to the products from UJAM. Especially the Virtual Guitarist series seems to do what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the tip. Enable MIDI Output is on. Still no connection. The strummer does nothing.

Today I installed the Milton Strummer. Unfortunately it does not work. I have two instrument tracks. The first track is my guitar (Ample Guitar M) and the second track is the Milton Strummer. I have now tried various connections (e.g. Milton Strummer MIDI channel 1 at the inputs of the guitar, Ample Guitar M at the inputs of the Streummer, etc.). But I still can't get the Strummer to work. Can anyone tell me how I can connect the two VST devices? I hope this is not too stupid a question. Unfortunately my experience with Cakewalk is not too great yet.

Two things are going through my mind. Have you set the correct inputs and outputs? On your screenshot they are different for track 2 and 3. The second thing you can check is whether there are any strange controller entries in the event list.

Many thanks for the tip. The products from U-HE are really good. I've been using Poodolski and TyrellN6 for a while now. I'll have a look at Zebra. I have seen that there is also a "light" version of Zebra available free of charge. Yesterday I also found Modul Air from Full Bucket. This modular polyphonic synthesizer is able to have the LFO controlled by an ENV. But I don't like its sound yet. However, it is also a very complex synthesizer that requires a lot of training. I don't like reading manuals but I should do it here.

Hi, I am looking for a VST synthesizer with which I can control LFO (intensity and/or frequency) with an envelope generator (ENV). Modular synthesizers have the possibility with appropriate cabling. I have already found that, but just monophonic models. Does anyone know a polyphonic synthesizer that can do this? Preferably free of charge. If necessary, I can also pay.

Thank you very much for your detailed answer. That definitely helps me. It's good that the issue of aftertouch has been clarified. Now I can think about whether I need polyphonic aftertouch or whether channel aftertouch is enough for me. The price difference between the MK2 and MK2 is big. I didn't know Gig Performer. What I've seen and read so far sounds very interesting. I will look into it further. I'm totally amazed at what's possible today and I'm looking forward to discovering everything.

Many thanks for the helpful answers. At the moment I'm leaning towards the Komplete Kontrol S61. Aftertouch is important for me. Mainly because a number of my 80s synthesizers already support it and I would like to address it with MIDI. However, I assumed that the MK2 already does this. At least that's what it says on Thoman's product page: (Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2). But if you write that this is not correct, I'm leaning towards the MK3. But what I would still be interested in is whether it is possible to change the individual VST instruments (of a track) in Cakewalk with the T6 or the S61 MK3. E.g. from a LABS instrument to VITAL (just an example)? The background to my question is that I have three racks, each with 3 instruments, and behind me is the 19" rack with the mixing console on top. There is very little space for the computer, which is why it is a bit far away. That's why I want to be able to control as much as possible remotely with the keyboard. If that's not possible, I'll have to rebuild.
