It is an often overlooked fact that most people have more than the average number of hands.

The opposite of the left hand is called the right hand. Just saying.?

You mean like how McCartney held his the wrong way round?

Once the UI had done it's thing the trigger keys would no longer light up at all, not just during playback and drag/drop was no longer functional. 20 minutes was usually more than enough for it to happen. Typically it would play through a song the first time just fine, but would fail during a subsequent playback, often the very next one, but at random times, so no clue as to what it was that it didn't like. That's why I gave up on it. Having to delete and undo delete the track every few minutes soon became tiresome. I can't try it one again as It seems that you can no longer load Ujam stuff without first installing their proprietary manager (cr)app, which I'm not going to do just to demo something.

IIRC it seemed to be related to midi playback after the midi had been dragged/dropped into the instrument track. After a random time it would still play back ok, but the trigger keys would no longer light up on the UI (both the single hits and pattern triggers) and the drag and drop of midi would no longer work - can't remember if the single hit keys still worked or not. V1 drums worked fine, so it seemed to definitely be a V2 problem. Ujam acknowledged that they had other reports of this from CW users. Maybe they fixed it now. I just thought it was worth mentioning in case any CW users were tempted to jump on this deal without trying the demo first.

Yeah. They were quite responsive in terms of getting back to me quickly and AFAIK the CW guys are generally quite approachable when it comes to 3rd party VST problems (why wouldn't they be?) but I got the impression that they thought that trying to actually solve the problem on a "free" DAW that nobody uses wasn't worth the bother.

FWIW in my experience Ujam Heavy 2 ( and I guess their other drum V2 versions given that they have the same UI ) has a Ujam acknowledged problem for Cakewalk users ( UI partially stops working). Might have been fixed now, but at the time I tried it (whenever it came out) their workaround was to delete and then undo the delete of the VST track (which worked only until it crashed again) and their idea of fixing the problem permanently was to use a different DAW .

I briefly considered buying AR3 years ago and it was actually this part of it that persuaded me not to. The thought of having to trawl through loads of patterns with such helpful names like Rhythm 1, Rhythm 2....Rhythm 48 every single time to find something that approximated what I was looking for just didn't really do it for me. They're like NI vouchers....only redeemable against things you don't want at the current price. HTH.?

And they never really figured out how to blow a trumpet...

I'm thinking that whoever owns this never quite grew out of playing with their hot wheels track.

Thanks a lot numb nuts...... Oh, wait...

I'm not referring to anything or anyone, so I have no idea how you could possibly have any idea what I'm not referring to. ?

I regret posting this.... ......on far fewer occasions than I could have.

Are you telling me that you don't already have the vst version installed?

My first keyboard...

This one time, at Songtradr....

This one time, at bandcamp.........

Yeah. It's from a rare Beatles tribute album called "Why is the 9th of November such a big deal in America ?" ?

All I can tell you is that it no longer works on win 8.1 for me, but it did at the time you announced that there would be a new Sonar because that's when I last checked it. I did that because I fully expected not to be able to use the new version, which is fine as long as I have access to a functional earlier version. I'm not expecting help or support for this, just telling you so that you know there is a problem with it. Perfectly understandable. It has long been my expectation that it would only ever be a matter of time before some kind of update meant that I could no longer have the latest version installed and I'm fine with that as I've always had faith that in such a scenario Cakewalk/Bandlab would come through somehow on it's previous promise never to leave long term users locked out of their work. Recent vagueness from CW staff around exactly how long the final version will actually be functional for has caused me some mild concern as it seemed to be walking back that promise a little, that's the only reason I looked at this thread in the first place.

Thank you both for chiming in. The only reason I was personally interested in whether CC was still functional was because as I understand it in the event of having to start over a 2023.09 user would still need to able to install Platinum (or at least components of it) to have access to the various plug-ins that 2023.09 does not have, if for some reason (ie pc specs) they are unable to use the new version of Sonar and have to remain with the legacy version in order to be able to access their work. It is of slight concern to me that there seems to be a general vagueness around exactly how long the 2023.09 version will remain functional/accessible and therefore how long before anyone who, for some reason, can't use the new version becomes effectively locked out of their projects. I do actually still have X3 as an option if all else fails, but it would be nice to not to have to go back that far. Given that CC no longer works with OS pre win 10, will that also be the case with the new app ?

FWIW I uninstalled the version linked in this thread and then installed my earlier download of that version and I no longer get that window come up. It still doesn't work (which Canopus has now answered) but the absence of that window now suggests to me that it's appearance is something to do with the recommended download link in this thread. Not asking for any further suggestions/help here, I have no idea what that window is all about, don't really care, just relating what I have observed regarding it in case that is useful info to anyone.
