Another option is to rollback to a previous version while the problem is being sorted out.

Look in the Overloud folder.

AAS's Player + Swatches (free sound pack) has some guitars that might meet your needs.

If by latest version you are talking about the Early Access build, you might want user the rollback installer until @Matthew White has a chance to fix all his themes based on the newly announced change.

I just updated from EA build 91 to EA build 93 and had the exact same issue. The image strip for the Archive button changed size. It went from 5 button states to 8 button states. According to discussions in the forum (from what I read), if a custom theme uses the older strip, the theme needs to be update. If a custom theme hasn't over written the default via the theme editor, there is no need to update that image element. Others can correct me if this is not accurate.

Did the dimensions of the Theme > Track View > Track Pane > Archive strip change? If so, would that make a visual difference when an older 5-cell button element [Width = 110] is used in theme as compared with the new 8-cell element [Width = 176]? Or are you saying the compatibility checker doesn't flag changes in image dimensions?

Just a thought: For those that do not have these MTurbo plug-ins, since the bundle is time limited, this might be a good time to try these out and then decide to put away up to $363 to use towards a bundle that includes these. JMO: For me the v15 style panels plus the device list makes these modules more user friendly. Disclosure: I took advantage of a 60% off bundle that includes these several months ago.

Nice to see that you are making some updates to your handy tools. Will the algorithm (log v. linear) be switchable? Are you moving in the direction of selectable curves? Just wondering.

Nice feature to know about. I can think of situations where I might want to have the Inspector showing one track or bus while doing things with others. Thanks for raising the issue and for all the comments that led to the solution.

FWIW: I was able to get the padlock on the right side (between the workspace and the window controls).

In case the product criteria wasn't clear. Also, I had someone check with multiple accounts and free choices and similar do enable the discount. Just to be clear, I am not planning to get M/B 2, but I checked last night just out of curiosity. I "own" all of the M/B 1 gear (according to both the custom shop app and my notes). I added M/B 2 to the cart and went to check out to see if there was an automatic coupon like some people were saying. I also tried exiting my account and then logging back in as some have suggested. At no point did a $20 coupon show up in the cart. I have concluded that there must be some hidden rules (unstated stipulations) that prevent some people from getting the automatic coupon. BUT WAIT!!!! I just tried it again, and this time there was a $20 coupon!!!!! So, if someone says they didn't get the coupon, I believe them. If IK later changes the website/store and the person suddenly gets a coupon, maybe that just means that the hidden rules/unstated stipulations got changed.

"only paid versions . . . qualify for the discount" - this might be true and if so, it might not just exclude "freebies" but also components of other bundles. For example, if some one has all of the BM1 gear that was paid for as p[art of a purchased bundle, the rules might also exclude the discount. In my experience (based largely in part from getting involved with IK's GB25), the confusion over rules, pricing schemes, etc. is not unintentional. It seems entirely possible that it is part of IK's marketing strategy. Let the consumer beware.

The way I read the post, the TBH was for the implementation of a paid subscription.

I could be wrong, but a subscription-based model for Cakewalk seems to me like an about face with gale storm head winds blowing much unpleasantness.

The theme editor is useful for editing colors and images, not text-based fonts.

Thanks for the replies; the reasoning makes sense. With TS2MAX I opted for the usb drive because the forum buzz was that downloads took a long time (slow server + huge GBs worth of stuff IIRC); plus, I am sure I downloaded everything "just in case." Nevertheless shortly after kitekrazy's reply, I decided rather than just let them rot in cyberspace, I'd select some triplicates of different things. Hindsight is 20-20 and I decided a week or so ago that rather to pay $250 to upgrade to TS3.5MAX for 90-95% duplicates, I'd prefer to add music products to my software arsenal from other companies--great deals based on already purchased products and in one case getting a nice credit in exchange for duplicates on top of the BF special offer!! Now that Syntronik 2 is out, I am not sure its worth $40 in transfer fees to transfer Syntronik (sell or give away) + the Syntronik Deluxe Upgrade (the ones I paid for). But who knows, maybe someone will be giving away Win 10 PCs for a song and a dance in a few years and some extra licenses will come in handy to set up dedicated Syntronik boxes. ? Seriously, before the pandemic I was working on setting up an outdoor music installation with possible interactions by passersby; so if it ever becomes safe again, low cost disposable PCs + no cost Syntronik licenses might be the way to go. As for the IK GB, I am now done!! ?

I thought about doing this, but I don't understand why one might need multiple copies. Is it to extend the number of authorizations for replacement computers over the years? To get downloads you forgot to save in the first place?

Tested nesting tracks as follows: Started with a recent tune-in-progress (3 folders with 1 hybrid instrument track each). Created an "Original Tracks" folder. Selected the 3 original folders and moved them into the new "Original Tracks" folder. It worked like a charm (including a few permutations of original folders--e.g., open/closed, etc.) ! Tried several methods to duplicate the new exterior folder. I couldn't do it, but there might be a way I don't know about. At most I got duplicates of the three original tracks placed within the third interior folder. If duplicating a folder containing other folders so as to maintain the hierarchy is not possible at present, I can make a FR after it has been released. At present, this is too good as is to wait!!!! And if it can be done, I'd be happy to know the correct steps. For me nested track folders is a game changer in terms of workflow! Thanks.

Hooray!!!! Nested Track folders!! Looking forward to this!

Thanks for the clarifications. I just looked at the comparison of the 4 versions here.

Trying to understand this. I have that preset in Generation > Syntronik 2 in Syntronik 2. I do not have it in the prior version of Syntronik. Have the Syntronik presets been updated to include that preset? EDIT: Or are you saying that our Generation > Syntronik 2 presets (which are editable in Syntronik 2 CS) are individualized and depend on which Syntronik Instruments we "own?" PS: The Syntronik 2 web page that shows the different versions says that the lower end versions "host" the prior Syntronik presets while they are editable in the highest end version. Is this what you mean?

Implied here is a good question for those who use design custom Workspaces: What does none do? I never explored it, but had assumed it used your Default.lns settings which at some point was saved as a "last-state" before shutting down if changed Cakewalk Workspace rather than a factory (same for everyone) Default. I know at one point (Sept 2019) I saved a Default Workspace as WasDefault, switched workspaces, and found the Default was changed. Workspaces has changed since then and I am not sure (1) if my assumption was correct and (2) even if it was correct at one point, if the behavior has been fine tuned and is no longer the case. If I am close in my assumption, for anyone who doesn't intentionally use Workspaces, none might preserve the Default Workspace so the UI is the same over time.

From what I read, yes, it will continue to work but there won't be any updates. My main audio PC can only handle Syntronik 1. I suspect that 2 won't work on it because my current audio PC can't handle OpenGL2 which is also a requirement for ST4 and others. I am working on setting up another PC that can handle OpenGL2 and will try installing Syntronik 2 CS which is free according to this: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/syntronik2/

I looked up "do kontakt instruments respond to CC11 expression?" You might want to do some searches and read up on what's said about that with regard to Kontakt's use of CCs, including CC1 and CC11. As for the novation (which I don't have either), what kind of midi data does the modulation wheel generate? Assuming it does generate some sort of CC data, the next question I would ask is, can it be mapped to either volume or expression (or to any other parameters on a patch by patch basis, if the plug-in allows it)? Here's just one link I found that might be helpful. Based on the little blurbs from the online search, I got the same impression!
