In my experience, it depends on how you have your computer, Windows, and Cakewalk setup and your usual workflow. I use several customized Workspaces that have various Cakewalk UI elements (windows, panes, etc.) set up to meet different needs. That way I just select a 2 monitor Workspace and I don't have to fiddle around. Maybe you have it setup so you just need to undock the Console (or undock the Multidock) and then move it over and resize it on your second monitor. Without knowing how you have things set up, that would be my first suggestion, sight unseen.

I use Menu Bar > Views > Markers

Re: "Can't": Some lyrics from Stinkfoot from the album "Apostrophe" (emphasis added)

NEWS STORY: "Leonard Riggio, Barnes & Noble founder, dead at 83 - Leonard Riggio, Barnes & Noble founder and former chairman, died at 83" ONLINE COMMENT: "I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend his funeral, I'm all booked up!" Aside: Some people would say he was not the founder in the traditional sense. True, he purchased the rights to the name in 1971, but the store was legendary in NYC long before 1971.

Just to provide a time frame I am now down to 6 more updates to go! Time enough for lunch in addition to more tea!

Thanks. I have been having some issues lately, including with Augmented Yangtze but not the others; so, I hope all is well now! UPDATE: Even the ASC needed to do an auto-update. Time to make another cup of tea and let Update All take its time. I am on pins and needles though--a couple of months ago, GUI issues I have had with Pigments since early 2023 went away without explanation, possibly due to UI changes related to / as a by product of previous Augmented (or other) changes. I have been meaning to tell customer support that the issue they couldn't solve from 2023 to 2024 finally got fixed. So, I am hoping the new fixes haven't re-crippled the graphics in Pigments like the early 2023 update did. 😞

Best wishes, and thanks for raising the issue and for the replies that came in after Friday. I downloaded the Yamaha software synth as suggested and tried it with some old (as in from last century!) midi files I purchased on a licensed, commercial Led Zeppelin 3.5" floppy disk. The drums and some other sounds from the Yamaha were not as good as the TTS-1 and not as good as my memory of whatever my computer used last century (possibly a sound card chip), BUT: the lead guitar on the suggested Yamaha was great!!!! Not sure I will reorchestrate it, but if I do, I'd use the TTS-1 as the base with the Yamaha on the guitar track.

If I had that issue, I'd check to make see if midi data is getting into my computer from the controller/keyboard. I would try MIDI-OX as well as recording midi data. If data is coming in, I'd look for how the data is being routed to my sound device(s) and check settings that control the sound.

Can your monkey do the bird?

Welcome. I don't use Musio, but I searched the forum and there seem to be a number of posts about it. Here's the link for the forum search I did. There is some very recent discussion that might be of interest to you.

I will carve out some time this week to explore when I use Ctrl+Z. IIRC I have run across differences when undo does and doesn't work when different windows had focus. Also IIRC some tasks are not undoable within a window when other tasks are undoable. I will try to find some examples.

I was responding to this: Not this: For decades I have been opposed to symmetry, parallelism, etc. just for the sake of symmetry, parallelism, etc. Some people want / need things to look alike, sound alike, be alike, behave alike, etc. for the benefit of their personal workflows. As for the Event List needing Scroll Lock functionality, when I need to edit something, I stop / pause the playback. I can respect that others might have a use for stopping the the movement while the music continues. I never tried this until just now. For me the song continued to play and the Event List continued to scroll. Do I need to change any settings to get the SCRL LOCK key to pause just the event view display?

Are Lenny and the SquigTones a prequel from the days before there were prequels? Foreshadowing? An example of the benefits of Time Travel? Just for the fun of it, here's a real news segment (2003) about the legendary 1960s folk trio the Folksmen who were immortalized in "A Mighty Wind."

JMO: Humor and music definitely belong together!

Thanks. I do understand the need to change passwords with upgraded websites. I just wish I wouldn't have to pretend I forgot it because lying is so endemic.

No wonder pwd doesn't work any more: "We recently upgraded our website. Please reset your password to use the new system." Heads Up: In order to reset your pwd you might have to lie and say you forgot your pwd. Oh well; you can't fight city hall marketing culture. 😜

I vaguely recall there was a discussion of possible alternatives. If nothing else, you should be able to use GM hardware modules. A few months ago (maybe more), I reconnected one of my Roland M-GS64 Sound Modules and it worked to play some non-original midi files I had. If I find the link to the discussion of software GM compatible softsynths, I will add it below (unless someone else beats me to it).

Unless I am mistaken there are unique things that belong to different views (and modes within those views) that can't use Ctrl+Z to undo what has just been done.

To me the beauty of having different views is that you can do different things with them and some views have methods that are better for some workflows than other views. Sorry, I appreciate diversity and would not want all views to have the same features, functions, methods, etc. Making all views function the same way and/or in the same manner where there is some overlap runs the risk of getting rid of some uniqueness that fits workflows that some people prefer.

Just to be clear, for me expressing humor and addressing serious issues are not mutually exclusive. On occasion I have referred to GASaholics in what might be considered a lighthearted tone (such as "GASaholics of the world, Unite!!!). To me these kinds of statements serve a positive role and should not be taken to be poking fun at the expense of people who might be considered "Recovering GASaholics." I use a similar list of personal questions and strategies and find they work for me--for the most part. In fact, now that I think about it, one personal strategy stems dates back a few decades to when I quit smoking cigarettes.

To be fair to the OP, the e-mail I just looked at (from earlier today), says "For One Week Only."

Good to know. Are there other free/sampler REmatrix libraries? I have: Hybrid Free, REmatrix SOLO, Blackstar/Blackstar [Multilayer], Dusty Racks Free, and (as of today) Studio Sessions FREE. Disclaimer: I haven't found a use for these, but I still find listening to the sampler libraries useful in case I might someday find a pack I might want to buy.
