Interesting question. I have no idea, but I can only assume if you have a controller that sends out CC88 data and a synth that interprets it as extended range velocity information, playing back the recorded MIDI data should allow the synth to do what you want. Again, I have no idea, but I like the question. [EDIT OUT based on David Baay's explanation of the CC88 data.] If you (or anyone else), has some note data that has the CC88 velocity extended range, I'd be interested to see what it looks like and play around with it to see what I might want to map the CC88 data to (purely as a hobbyist).

Thanks for confirming this. I assumed this was the case based on your prior reference to "the CC88 implementation" but the clarification is good to know.

Are you trying to do any of the following: Record the audio from the FP-10 into CbB (Cakewalk by Bandlab) as audio? Record only the MIDI data (that is, note-on / note off data) from the FP-10 into CbB so you can play the notes through the FP-10? So far as I can see from the manual and reference guide, the usb connector does not carry audio but Roland has something called Piano Partner 2 which seems to me to be software that can send audio to Bluetooth devices. If that's what you are trying to do, see this document. Maybe others in the Cakewalk Discuss Community have additional thoughts about any of these possibilities.

I do have some Spitfire LABS libraries. They can also be inserted as Instruments. I do not use them, but I gave it a quick test. I did not need to use sforzando to get sound from the LABS Instrument. I selected a keyboard sound in the LABS plugin and played it directly from my usb keyboard.

Let me try to be very simple. In both the first project and the new project you only have MIDI TRACKS showing. From what I see, you do not have an INSTRUMENT TRACK showing. MIDI tracks do not make sounds. MIDI tracks contain MIDI data. You need something that will make sound. You said, "I am using sforzando for sound." But so far as I can see you either do not have sforzando inserted into the project as an instrument track or you have not have a sound loaded into sforzando. The first image shows you had track 2 with sforzando but that is not an instrument track. Notice the icon: That tells me track 2 is a MIDI Track. MIDI Tracks do not make sound. If you want to use sforzando, insert it as an instrument (in an instrument track, not a MIDI Track). I do not have sforzando, so I inserted an instrument track with Surge-XT: . Notice the icon looks like a keyboard, not a MIDI plug. Instrument tracks have two components which can be split: Let me repeat myself: So far as I can see, your project only has MIDI TRACKS. It does not have an Instrument Track. To play MIDI data (such as notes) you need something that makes sound. If you have no experience with samplers (such as sforzando), I suggest you start with some synths. Also, the forum has a section with Tutorials (or look on the internet). There are many excellent tutorials that can step you through the basics of how to add instruments and route your controller to them so they make sound. Sorry, but even though you said you were a beginner, I assumed you would know that there are different types of tracks. I hope that is now clearer.

There is a limit to the number that can be displayed. For as long as I have played around with Workspaces, it has been that way. From what I have seen there is no hierarchical folder system. I might have made a request to have folders within folders for Workspaces a few years ago. It is possible that I deleted that because so many Cakewalk users didn't really use Workspaces and I felt I was the only one who would benefit from it. I put my older/unused Workspaces in archival folders which are basically inaccessible from the Cakewalk menu/browser. It works for me. (See image below.) If I need to revisit some older Workspaces I can move some lesser used ones into an archival folder and copy the older ones into the main folder. I have tried to extend my personal use of Workspaces in ways I don't think it was initially intended, have run into problems, and have concluded that the needs of the majority of Cakewalk users can be met by having a very limited number of Workspaces. For a subset of my Workspaces, I use dates. I use a file-searching utility from voidtools (Everything). This makes it super easy to find and to re-organize my *.lns files. Hope this helps.

FYI: Comparison of GPFree with the paid version.

I have gotten older versions of arturia products directly from their website. I just checked the archives and they have versions of ALV available back to 2020.

Try inserting an instrument track/soft synth into your project and then route your piano controller to that instrument. From what I can see your project doesn't have either a hardware or software synth/instrument to convert MIDI data (such as note on and note off commands) into sound.

I haven't used it since he first made it available, but it was rock solid back then and I have seen others referring it more recently: Ray Bellis' Firmware Updater Tool

A member of one of the old E-Mu Yahoo Groups made an *.ins file available that included all the SIMMs. I am 100% sure that file is still available. IIRC it's a simple matter of either just deleting the info for the SIMMS you don't own or importing the banks you own. If you have custom preset banks (user memory), there were some user developed utilities that will output *.ins files with those banks so you don't have to type in all the names. I will look for a currently available source for the compiled bank file. P2k_All.ins

I got a popup that says I don't recall seeing that with previous REMatrix freebies. I might have missed it, though.

I am not laughing at you with the ha-ha emoji; laughing at myself. I feel like a "dunderhead" (whatever that is) for not digging this out for you. I have maintained a personal *.ods file [spreadsheet] for a number of years to track which IK products I had (not presets, though) and which ones were included in their bundle variants. In fact, I consulted the spreadsheet when there was the Humble Bundle deal a few months ago.

Are we allowed to play this? 🙉

Thanks for this handy bite-sized chunk of info. I generally don't do anything like this, but your concise mini-review was perfect to focus my hands-on self-exploration.
