So, I did a handful of simple tests of the Remote Control / MIDI Learn problem I documented previously. It still exists. Until someone either fixes it (which I gave up on) or tells me what I am doing wrong, the built-in arpeggiator does not work for me. ? In brief, I found a disconnect between UI states and actual functionality. In other words, midi learned remote controls can be used to change the visual states (appearance) of the buttons, knobs and drop downs, but the functions do not change. They need to be changed by mouse clicks. This is probably not a show stopper for many, but for some (like me) it is. Don't get me wrong--I like the arpeggiator. In fact, the reason I spent a lot of time trying to make it work, and documenting the issue (and hypothesizing possible causes) is because I like it and had hopes that the disconnect would be fixed. Having looked at the Project 5 documentation recently, I suspect the code for for the arpeggiator might be derived from Project 5 and therefore is so deeply embedded (and built-upon over the years) that the issue would be a nightmare to try to fix. Just a guess. I also suspect that newer features (such as automation) are tied into the issue. Resistance to providing a midi data flow chart (so to speak) to show what happens with midi data "under the hood" goes hand-in-hand might somehow be related. Again, these are guesses. NOTE: I would love to be wrong and to find there is a simple setting such as a check box toggle or maybe a configuration parameter setting that would get rid of the UI status/functionality disconnect. So, if there is, please let me know. I would gladly go back to using CbB's arpeggiator. I had some really good results with it.

Congrats!!!!! Enjoy. Looks like a nice FX unit. PS: Please mark the topic [SOLVED] . Thx.

I will take a look since I am not familiar with that hardware or manufacturer. It used to be that both CC#00 and CC#32 needed to be sent followed by the Program Change (Preset) command. If someone else has specific, I will defer to them. In the meantime, I will look through the manual. UPDATE: I see what you are saying. OK. I see the table. 1, 0 = 128 etc. So, its the value of CC#0 * 127 + Program Change number. Looks to me like CC#32 is ignored. Did you try selecting "Controller 0 only" for Instruments that only respond to Controller 0 bank select messages?

Does the AX FX III Manual tell you how how knows to switch banks? (I am assuming you want Cakewalk to switch banks in the Axe.) Update: I found a manual on line. I hope its the right one. (Current as of Axe-Fx III Firmware 20.x Original, Mark II, Standard and TURBO versions July 2022.) Are you using its PC Mapping Mode?

For the Beatles, you might want to listen to Todd Rundgren, esp. Deface the music (but also Faithful, which is more copied than original), and The Rutles, esp. the first album. Both albums use a variety musical elements to create sound alike music. Please, don't ask me to try to enumerate on which elements are used to call to mind associations that remind listeners of Beatles music . I think a solid listening of the albums should help them jump out and grab your ear. Also, some songs by Billy Joel have very close "borrowings." There's also early Julian Lennon I only mention these because decades ago I did some academic-style explorations related to how musical elements tap into audience associations. I am sure other avenues would be just as valid. "I have always thought in the back of my mind: Cheese and Onions. . . . . Do I have to spell it out? C-H-E-E-S-E-A-N-D-O-N-I-O-N-S! Cheese and Onions . . . . ." "I just want to touch you . . . Oooooo--Ooooo . . . " "Take It Home" What elements are borrowed? How are the elements varied from the original/well-known Beatles tunes? How have they been combined so they are not stolen but used creatively in new compositions copyrightable on their own while taken as a whole, reminding listeners of the Beatles? Warning: Laura uses an F-Word variant that some might not want to listen to.

Thanks for the clarifications. I will defer to others here who use the PRV and those who use it with drums.

Are you talking about Some clarification / diagnostic questions: (1) Which instrument? (2) Have you tried it with different instruments and if so are the results the same? (3) Which "MIDI View?" Do you mean the PRV [Piano Roll View]?

This thread is more about keyboard bindings becoming lost when Workspaces aren't used. After others brought up Workspaces, I suggested using Workspaces as a possible workaround. My bad.

Thanks to everyone for chiming in with their AD2 preferences. So far, I have only selected one** of my AD Packs from the bundled promo we got way back when. Thoughts on singles and patterns would also be appreciated because I will have 3 each of those on account. **I was inspired to get Mallets by this:

Me, too--well, at least since the time I first started using SynthMaster. Glad to see this fixed and the other changes as well!!! Thanks @abacab for the heads-up about the update. You have me beat by a couple of months! I only raised the issue mid-March 2021. But in fairness to KV331, I found my own workaround and didn't "badger" them. Thanks for your follow-up!!!!!!! Update: I now have 18 devices listed! ?

This is the first time I can remember having an issue with normal usage. I am not sure the presence or absence of the no-sound issue tells whether or not TTS-1 was set up properly.

I seem to be getting something consistent with 8.5 on older Win10Pro PC. Condition 1: Loaded Annabelle's version. Cleared CC3 assignment on Master Fader in TTS-1. Slider up full. Saved using Save As (renamed). Upon loading this version, slider is still up full, but TTS-1 doesn't sound. Pressing play (I am using the spacebar) a second time kicks TTS-1 into playing. Condition 2: Loaded Annabelle's version. Upon loading this version, slider is down, and TTS-1 doesn't sound. After slider is moved up and spacebar is pressed once to start play, no sound. Pressing spacebar a second time kick TTS-1 into playing again.

Looks like I have SONAR 5, 6, and 8.5 on my Win 10 PC (in addition to X1 and/or X3). I might also still have them on an XP SP3 PC (not X3). I took a quick look at the CCs. There's a bunch of CC121 and CC64 in the beginning. Later on I saw RPN PB Sens. several times preceding Wheel. I have heard of JAWS, but no idea what goes on under the hood. Could that be automating TTS-1's Master Volume on its own (independent of what on the tracks)? Could the version/build of TTS-1 make a difference? 32-bit TTS-1 (XP) v. 64-bit TTS-1 (Win 10)?

I am using CbB, and several times I resaved the one you uploaded with the Master Slider in TTS-1 up full and when I reloaded it, the medley played. Its a long shot, but it might work--provided (1) there is nothing in your setup that is sending it back to zero and (2) TTS-1 in Sonar 8.5 works the same way.

[Workaround using Workspaces removed.]

OK. You talked me into it. I will try the built-in arpeggiator again to see if it will work for me. [moved here from the other thread, because any possible follow-up discussion would be less relevant to the Deals subforum]

I was going to see if the x50 passes midi through, but since you have the manual and midi-ox, I don't think I would see anything that you haven't already tried. Maybe someone else has some ideas to help. Good luck with that.

Just to clarify, the reason I asked "Do you have a link to the Roland x50 manual?" was because "All I could find was an e-x50 manual." EDIT: I am going to go out on a limb on this, but here goes: Either (1) Louis is confused or (2) Louis is trying to confuse us. (I might be wrong, though.)

Do you have a link for the manual? All I could find was an e-x50 manual. On the other hand I did find a Korg X-50 Manual.

When you say, "Its as if . . . ." I have to ask: Have you tested the midi data with a tool like midi-ox? Do you have a link to the Roland x50 manual?

Didn't mean to confuse you. It sounded Indian to me. So I looked up Prishna. https://www.babynames.co.uk/names/prisha/#:~:text=Prisha is a name of,for both boys and girls. Or are you making a point about cultural appropriation--that Indian music was taken from Africa, that Indian names were taken from Africa, etc.? https://www.nairaland.com/1206540/indian-god-krishna-black-african See also: https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/indian-musicians-with-african-influence/article24172523.ece
