Thanks for following through, contacting them, and letting us know the result!

Thanks for adding that. PS: Unfortunately, the unexpanded quotation I used to reply "Verified" only showed the CbB Reference Guide section showing what the Docked module looked like; it had to be expanded to see what I had posted last night.

Verified!

Nice to see there's an option to allow modules to be resized or not.

Are talking about this or something different?

Sorry, I am really tired. We used to be able to have rows of knobs that could be used to control parameters. But I am so tired and out of sorts from the heat and humidity, I can't find where they used to be. I am remembering them in the Synth Rack, but maybe in my overtired state I am misremembering how to access them and I can't find any forum pix I or others have posted. If you used those knobs assigned to synth params, you'd probably know what I mean. If you never used them, it probably makes no sense. From CbB Reference Guide: We could add a row at a time for knobs and assign params. I haven't used those param knobs in a while. I will try to see if the Free Tier has them tomorrow (assuming my mental abilities return).

But no knobs, right? (Sec, I am trying to find a picture)

Does it have all the controls/parameter settings. etc. or is it a bare minimum synth rack? (I was looking at it myself earlier, asking these same questions, but I'm fading fast from a long day,)

PS: When I first saw this ^^^^, I wondered what great customs deals Fleer meant. For me the upgrade to CV-3 on the summer sale was the same price as their initial upgrade price (in February, IIRC). Glad we figured it out. Again, thanks to everyone who chimed in.

Thank you for the image; it confirms what we have collectively deduced. And yes, that is correct--I do not see a Professional Series Upgrade / Complete your collection offer. As best as I can figure out: (1) the ownership of Sound Packs is irrelevant because I am only missing 9 Sounds which I can get for $6.33 each [as compared with 43 for $3.30 each], but more importantly, (2) I don't get the Professional Series Offer for CV-3 and EP-5 because I previously purchased at least one earlier version of all professional instruments, including (in my case) CV-1, CV-2, and EP-4. In short, by AAS's algorithm, I own licenses for at least one version of all the existing Professional Series instruments and therefore I do not qualify for the Professional Series Complete your collection offer. If they develop a new Pro Instrument, maybe I will qualify for the new instrument and upgrades for all the ones I haven't upgraded as part of a Complete your collection offer. Not urgent for me personally, but someday I will ask AAS to confirm this is an intentional marketing strategy.

Agreed! It inspired me to look at the Wikipedia page and some of the articles cited. If it's true about her using a .22 caliber rifle, can you imagine if she had a more modern weapon? I'll never hear that song in the same way again.

I didn't use Themes with SONAR X3--didn't know they had Themes; can't find them in a search of the pdf.** Do you have a memory of using them in X3? Is it possible they were known by another name? **After not finding "theme" in the SONAR X3 Reference Guide, I couldn't find it in the User Guide either.

[prior suggestions withdrawn because I decided to check for myself]

Glad this thread was bumped. Fun to read about others who have also had TTS/Cakewalk/Pro Audio/SONAR/SONAR X / etc. throughout the decades and what music-making software people started with.

Thanks for clarifying this. Buy the EP-5 Upgrade at a discount and get CV-3 free! It makes sense. I did something similar. In 2021 I had no interest in Multiphonics because I use Voltage Modular, but I got CV-1 with a Complete the Instrument Collection offer. Basically, I got the AAS instruments I wanted and also got CV-1 for what I would have paid for the instruments individually. I have tried Multiphonics several times (mainly to listen to the sounds and to try to adapt to its UI and workflow), but other than that don't use it. For my needs Voltage Modular works well, but the lure that maybe one day changes to Multiphonics will make me want to use it more prompted be to upgrade to CV-2 ($39). I like the characteristic AAS sound which carries over to the Multiphonics line. And I have used Control Voltages from Voltage Modular (more intuitive workflow for me personally) to control CV-1 and CV-2, though I very much wish Microphonics had more external control channels. (I used the 4 Macros.) I have thought of writing AAS to try to interest them in expanding the number of external channels. Who know, they might like the idea! Based on what I see in CV-3 they very much seem to be committed to making improvements, adding new features, etc. In fact, if CV-3 had 16 or 32 Macros I could use for external control voltages, for 49 units of currency I would get more use of it than an upgrade to EP-5. Thanks to everyone who chimed in on this. You have helped me to save some money for something I might want somewhere down the line.

Thanks for clarifying that your deal was through a Professional Series Custom Offer. The only Custom Offers I qualify for are for Sound Packs since I had all the previously current instruments and was only missing the 2 upgrades.

I am pretty sure others have mentioned similar issues and the advice was to contact Support.

Not at all; evidence based: The price of Red Peppers from Canada went up this week. 😜 Seriously, my kids are vegetarian and many meat analog products we have gotten for years come from Canadian companies. They have gone up, too, but that could be related to the issues related to soybean availability. I agree!

Thanks for asking and thanks for the solution. I have never done this in Cakewalk (only on some hardware mixers) and once I added a Send to a Console Strip and then expanded the height of the Sends module, there it was! 🙂

Good suggestions. I also need to find some old projects (pre-CbB) that have the Screensets I used to use. Which option(s) do you use to make sure not to load screen layouts from Workspaces? Window Layout? Thanks.

Also, if you have the Control Bar showing docked, the Sonar button will open the quick start menu.

Thanks for clarifying that. I have used the Offers tabs a number of times over the years and looked at all 4 tabs again as always. That's how I got the $49 for each when I added them to the cart either from the Upgrades tab or the Upgrades section in the All tab. I have no idea what others did to get a $44 combined price. I know several years ago (after some individual instrument purchases and upgrades) I did an all missing instruments upgrade (complete your collection). Just looked it up--mid 2021. Maybe that can only be used once? Maybe it doesn't apply to missing upgrades? Did you have CV-1 and/or CV-2 or was CV-3 a new instrument added along with the EP-5 upgrade? Maybe that's the difference: add Multiphonics as a missing instrument, get a discount ($44 instead of $49) and get a free EP-5 upgrade? The Custom tab has a reduced "Complete Your Collection" rate for Sound Packs. My customized offers do not include a "Upgrade Your Instrument Collection." Did you get the $44 deal with a special "Complete Your Collection" rate for Instruments? A few days ago I saw a video about how Canada is targeting businesses in six US States. I am in one of them. They didn't mention targeting music products, but who knows?

Initially I installed it on an XP SP3 PC and then installed it on my first Win 10 Pro PC (converted from a retired Win 7 PC). The Creative Labs Authorization Server was still working for that installation, but when I got a newer improved model (mid-2020) they had already killed the server. No idea what years they were first installed on the PCs where the Emulator X3 worked. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the question. I have licenses for all other current instruments and Objeq Delay as well as CV2 and EP-4. I also have 2 licensees for each of the three Session Instruments in additions. Do you have all of the Sound Packs, too? I am missing some--I usually wait for the sale to pick up the Sound Packs I am missing. I tried adding in the "Missing Sound Packs" Upgrade, but CV-3 and EP-5 are still $49 each. Misery love company; glad to hear I am not alone! 😉 That's even after cancelling the cart, logging out of my account, logging back in, and re-selecting them. I also tried the link from the e-mail. Maybe the "limited time offer" is over? Who knows. Maybe the two upgrades for $44 (CV-3 and EP-5) was a glitch.
