Unfortunately it looks like there's only a VST 2 version. I checked it with an FL Studio staff member. Pity, this is such a great synth.

Hi all. I'm using Fruity Loops' Sytrus 3 vst synth and it has a lot of great sound presets. However, several of them always cause Sonar to crash as soon as I start playing (even if it's only one note). The crash note always states an "Access violation" (see screenshot). I installed and tested this on another PC of mine with Cakewalk on, and there was no problem! In terms of specs and performance, this PC is not any better either. I changed the oversampling settings inside Sytus, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

It can be beneficial for a band, say, for the guitarist.

Hi, two requests, please: 1. (Pic 1): Can Sonar automatically generate a chord name corresponding to the chords played in the left hand, instead of going through the list of hundreds of different chord names? It will be especially helpful for guys like me who can barely read music notation. 2. (Pic 2) Please -- add the option to display horizontal grid lines in the Velocities section.

Here is my solution: I kept only the first instance of the groove clip and then duplicated it (see screen shot). It still functions perfectly by changing pitch to the pitch markers above. Side note: it regularly occurs that when I press Play on this project, I can't get it to stop or pause. It simply keeps on playing, no matter how many times I try to stop it. Any ideas why this happens?

Ok, that makes sense, thank you. But is there a way then to assign automation other than velocity and volume to an individual clip?

Hi. I have a bass line converted to a groove clip. Before the conversion, it had an automation envelope (modulation of every second note). But, this does not seem to duplicate when the groove clip is extended (see screen shot. Is there a way to accomplish this?

It's currently set to 300, so it may be too high then.

Thank you everyone for your valuable input. It looks like the problem is resolved (not sure what I did, whether making the notes shorter or lowering the volume)

Hi everyone. I'm stuck in a scenario where the midi notes at a specific location (bar 61) get stuck on playback (see video clip) and I have to hit the Reset Midi button every time. Is there a way to remedy this issue? Sequence 01.mp4

Thank you, this is very helpful. In most instances, I have the TTS-1 loaded before adding other VSTs anyway, because I use it as a quick starter in my templates to get up and running with each new song. To those who may query the wisdom of using such an old synth -- I use it mostly for planning. It has a few grat drum kits which work well with the Step Sequencer. One instance of TTS-1 has 16x instruments, which is very easy on system resources. It's easy to record midi tracks with no latency, with all of the FX "on". Once I have the basic song with all of its tracks and instrument groups, I start to explore alternative, more modern synths. Sometimes, one or two TTS-1 instruments even remain in the mix. If anyone is interested -- I have the Step Sequencer set up with all the drums already loaded from the TTS-1.

Thank you, I will look into it. I can just say, that this problem had already been coming up in Cakewalk before I upgraded to Sonar.

Since working with Cakewalk, it would crash now and then while loading a project. Each time it would refer to a vst plugin used in the project (Korg Wavestation) with a "Crash Code: C0000005 (Access Violation)" note and dump file. After 3-5 efforts, it would eventually load. In Sonar, it's not getting any better. Now, I don't even get an error notification most of the times after a crash. Initially, I would get the "Crash Code: C0000005 (Access Violation)" crash notification, but now this doesn't even happen anymore. While loading, Sonar quits with no error message - nothing! It simply quits. Initially, I thought it may be a problem with the vst, but today I had a crash while working on another project that ONLY uses the Cakewalk TTS-1 synth. As I was working, Sonar crashed, with the usual "Access Violation" referencing the TTS-1 (see attached). So, this persistent problem does not seem to be related to any specific vst plugin. I am getting desperate now...I contacted Korg support, and their response is as slow as a sloth. I contacted Bandlab support, but thus far they haven't been able to determine the cause of the problem. Please, if anyone can share ideas about this, I'll appreciated it dearly.

Excellent! Thank you very much for this link.

I agree 100%. But, sometimes the note velocities simply don't translate well when recording Midi play from a keyboard.
