Now you switch from talking about update to talking about support. I know about no support. Instead of defending yourself, just admit you made a boo-boo. ?

It seems correct so far. The full path should be C/Cakewalk Content/Cakewalk Core/CAL Scripts. The first file in my folder is named "ANY_THIN.CAL" The last file is named "VARYVEL.CAL" There is no midifiles in my CAL scripts folder.

Citation from promidi in old Sonar forum. You could also try "split Channel to Tracks.CAL" Here is how to do it. Load your midi file (or import it) and select just that track. Go to Process menu and click "Run Cal". A file dialog box will open. Hopefully the file "split Channel to Tracks.CAL" is listed there. Open that and it will ask you for the first destination track and the MIDI file should be distributed to the various tracks, starting at your destination track.

Try to save it as a type 1 midi file and then reopen it.

C'mon now! This forum is about Cakewalk and updates to it. How can you miss that?

In the Cakewalk browser. The media tab. Highlight the midifile. Look att the bottom frame and you can see information about the file. If it says midi type 0 it behaves as it should. That midi type act as you describe. It has to be a midifile type 1 to open several tracks.

I have win7 with update problem and it will be interesting to see, six months from now, if i am able to authorize Cakewalk. I'll stop trying to update it and see what happens.

1. Check this out: 2. If you uninstall Cakewalk by Bandlab and the Bandlab Assistant it seems, for now, that you can start from scratch by using BA to install CbB.

I got the feeling that manually closing the daw before installing update was something that happened as long as Bandlab Assistant handled the installation. The latest updates, since disconnecting from BA, don't need you to close the daw manually.

Ok. It was a magic word - song - After i did the howto i let go of start screen icons. I found out that my focus is on the filename using file menu and not the icon/image. I've turned off the start screen. I can not turn off my curiosity though.

Ok. Interesting. Tomorrow i have to use those names "song" and "templates" to see what happens. It seems they would belong to the magic words, but anyones guess is as good as mine.

The kids have grown and each need a Tesla and a house.

What was the filename of the project?

It isn't. Glenn have his own version of adding images. Some people seem to grasp this easier then what's in the pdf howto. It is however one extra step compared to the howto. Adding your own image is different from working with the default icons. A lot easier too.

Seems you stumbled upon another one of the hidden laws of start screen icons. ?? The 4-track, 16-track and basic template icons is "unique" for some reason. You can't change the name. You can with the Guitar Amps and Vocals. Then there's the situation where you happen to delete one of the unique ones. I tested this by moving it to another folder and then using Vocals.cwt and rename it to Basic.cwt. It did not produce the Basic icon. I then tried this on Guitar Amps and renamed Vocals.cwt to Guitar Amps.cwt which produced a nice new Guitar Amps icon. I'm sure there's more hidden gems? like this that we don't know about. ?

I continued in my quest for more userfriendly and creative ways to play Amber guitar. Now you can find an instrument file and an articulation file in the content subforum. The instrument file helps with giving you note names so you see exactly which notes is playable in the piano roll, without changing Cakewalks base note.

No longer relevant.

No longer relevant.

Yup. That was it. Now on to articulation...

I'm using your instruments file as the base for an instrument file to use as the note names for VG-AMBER in prv. The names are there but not readable. Every file i choose for "use these note names instead" have very small letters in the notes pane. Maybe minimum size 8? Do you know what i'm missing?

It's ok. I already can see the downside with the stepsequenser. Some times you need really long notes to get the full use of the rythm in the phrase and style. That's more of pianoroll territory, long notes and long patterns. I'm also not sure if changing phrase is working. But it can depend on the short notes. Would be nice with some input on Amber because i find it hard to work with. I'm a guitarist and getting better on keyboard but neither seems to help when trying to play this thing. Stepseq help ease it up a lot when it comes to short chords(notes) but... Sugar-Bytes Guitarist is another one that is hard to produce something useful with. ?

Hi! I wonder if we could try something? Attached is a pattern and a patch. The pattern goes in like so: C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Step Sequencer Patterns\KH Amber03b.ssp The patch goes in like so: C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\UJAM\VG-AMBER\Presets\KH Amber03.patch Open a new basic project. Insert VG-AMBER and open the step sequenser from views menu. In stepseq you load the pattern from the pattern tab. In Amber you load it from preset - other. Sooo, do you hear anything? What do you think? Now you also have the right note numbers for playing Amber. Just load this pattern. Feel free to develop it further for your own song. It's forkable.

I went for it. It turns out that Acoustic Samples installer demands the installation of Pace/ILok software together with the free UVI workstation. It also gives a choice of old ILok installation but sparse info about it makes me nervous. I have already Pace/ILok installed with 22 activated plugins and don't want to f..k that up. It's an old version and works perfect as long as i don't update it. I'm pondering if i should let my offline desktop go and stay online. But i need an ssd instead of the mechanical it has now. Added. To new users of VSTBuzz.com, be aware that it adds VAT to the price.

Every piece has its own note which should correspond to the virtual instruments you use. Maybe the hi-hats notes doesn't have a corresponding hi-hat on those notes in your virtual instrument. Check the note numbers. The note number sent. Does that number have a sound in the virtual instrument? It usually is possible to change which note the hardware hi-hat sends when hit.

Could it be that you never logged out of Bandlab Assistant? If Cakewalk also tries to log in to Bandlab i imagine that could happen.
