Anyone know if there is a way to use midi learn to control the settings in Objeq Delay? Thanks. Nope.

Similar experience yesterday: I tested the issue by logging out and using the sign in button. Hovering turned the button a darker shade of green. Clicking opened my web browser where I could have logged in or signed up. Had to look up and type in my ID and Pwd. Once entered, I was taken to my account. I tried several times but the app itself did not log me in--only called up the website login.

Are you saying this happens when you unplug the headphones? If so, perhaps the laptop's headphone jack has autodetect and when you pull the plug Windows tells software that the headphone output is no longer available which triggers the message that the output is no longer available to Cakewalk? If so, and your tracks are routed to the headphone ouput, do you get the sound back if you switch to a valid output?

I do not use Bandlab (the web app), but I did test a few things last year for possible use with things I do using Cakewalk. I did look through the education section which Jim referenced (with a link). Not sure it has the information you want, but I would recommend exploring all of the various sections. Also, there is a Community access point (as well as others) on the Bandlab Blog page. In the '80s I did some Arts-in-Education residencies and I think the Bandlab model has a lot of possibilities for music education.

There are some posts related to red flags and Surge 1.7.x in this thread. Based on my experience with that version, I downloaded the current installer and ran a couple of local scanners on my PC. Both came up clean. Windows Defender wouldn't let me run it until I said "Unblock" in the properties page for the download because it came from another computer. Maybe if you wait for 1.8.1, there will be no heuristic red flags at VirusTotal. That's what happened with me after I saw a red flag with 1.7.0, but when 1.7.1 came out a few days or so later, there were no heuristic red flags. So, I took a chance with 1.8.0 and I like the changes.

Thanks for calling this to our attention!! The new features look very impressive. I am very pleased to see the FX can now be re-ordered ?, all of the new filters ? , along with many of the other changes.

Conversely, some Win10 users have Cakewalk Analytics turned off (and have always had them turned off). Not sure if there's data on the % of users (XP, Win7, Win10) who have analytics on v. off.

Odd that it didn't work. I used *.chm and got over 11,000 hits, including some from MS (9-2020) and Magix (10-2020) as well as Win98SE (4-1999). I spot checked about 50 and approx. 3-4% cannot be opened. In my case it looks like a few HDD recovery disk backups from years ago were not successfully copied.

Glad you mentioned this (re: Korg's USB driver). I will be getting back to setting up a new-to-me PC with Win10 20H2 as a replacement as my main audio productivity PC. I have not yet moved either of my nanoKontrol[1]s or the Korg driver/setup utility to the new PC. For that reason, I have some related questions: After you upgraded to 20H2, did you reinstall/setup the Korg driver/utility without any issues and if so does your Korg nanoK work properly? If so, did you have to do anything special to get it to work? What kind of a removal of the drivers did you do (total/complete removal, device properties uninstall, simple disable, etc.)? I ask because sometimes just disabling a device driver has worked for me to solve other compatibility issues until I have done some more fine tuning. Thanks.

Could you create a second Workspace based on the one that you normally use that has all screens on only your main monitor?

There are at least three ways to insert a software synth [aka Instrument] that I have used. (1) from the menu [Insert > Soft Synth], (2) from the Browser, (3) by right clicking in the track header area, (4) using the + button in the Synth Rack. Some of the methods have been updated quite a bit fairly recently, including new options in the Insert wizard accessible via insertion method three. The old insertions dialog [the one with the check boxes - synth properties] has been updated, too. I know there are discussions in the forum. Maybe look at some of the New/Updated Features from the past 6-8 months, too. But if you try the three methods above, I think you'll find it to be rather "intuitive" from past versions of SONAR/Cakewalk. There may be other ways, but I like these: (1) (2) (3) (4) For this, I usually use the Split Instrument Track option once the combined track has been made. (See below.) IIRC there are also ways to get separate tracks using the Insert Soft Synth Track wizard [Advanced Options button] and the old check-box dialog method. Those are some of the newer features I had in mind, but I am a slow learner and gravitate towards methods I've used for ages. Splitting tracks using the Advanced button options in the Insert Instrument / Add Track Wizard (method 3 above)--see below. For me, I tend not to do it this way (1) because it is a fairly recent method that (2) has changed a few times over the past year, (3) because different soft synths have differences which produce different track results that boggle my old school mind, and (4) I am so used to just splitting the track it is "intuitive." Not knocking the new methods at all--if I had the mind I had a couple of decades ago, I'd struggle with the newer methods until they became second nature. Hope this helps. BTW, the Enable MIDI Output (if available) checkbox option in the synth properties/ insert soft synth options dialog is relatively new (or had been missing)--from UI change list to a late 2020 update: "Enable MIDI Output check box was missing from Insert Synth Options dialog when opened from the Synth Rack."

I have tried reading a couple of *.ARP files with a Hex Editor--without success. There was nothing obvious to my eye (except the file/arp name) and my file structure mining days are over. For me, I have hardware and software that meets my needs if I can't use the Inspector-based Arpeggiator. It does what it does rather well and seems to me to be consistent in what it does. Sometimes I have found the MFX Arpeggiator useful for some tasks. A thread in a previous forum: FYI.

I have been where you are, too--missing the tools within the Staff View window itself. I do not find the multi-purpose Control Bar Tool Module as handy when I am doing stuff with notes on lines. However, I found out from others here that it used to be worse and some of the Staff View tools were returned. There are several discussions/thread related to newer methods of editing notes. I have been slowly getting used to some of the newer mouse/keypress methods. I suggest looking in the forum index for discussions on the "Staff View."

The Inspector-based Arpeggiator came along (for the most part), while I was doing pattern and song stuff (including arpeggiation) with hardware sound modules (OS-based arpeggiators) and a hardware sequencer/sound module. Maybe some veterans who know about the inner workings of the SONAR/Cakewalk Arpeggiator know. My guess is that to find out how each pattern works you wouldn't have to audition each one, but the logic behind the arpeggiation would emerge by testing a carefully selected sample of the existing patterns. Of course, if there is a guide or someone who can explain it, that would be very handy!!! I don't know if there is a way to edit the *.ARP files themselves to change them. To me it seemed that they were designed to be used by tweaking the parameters in the Inspector section. I'd be interested in answers to the questions you raised, too.

Many older programs and plug-ins that still work under Windows 10 have *.chm help files. For example:

I always assumed they were given abbreviations, descriptive, or made up (e.g., "arpesque") names and plain old sequential numbers.

For printed output (staff view), Cakewalk grabs the information from Notes, which can now be found as a tab in the Browser. Not sure if the export picks it up from there, too. UPDATE: Just did a quick test. Looks like the info comes from Notes, but can be overwritten by checking the Encode ID3 Info box.

Anyone know if the Session plug-ins will work in any DAW (unlike the SONAR Editions)?

It opens up on my PC. I didn't assign a soft synth or route it to a sound module, but in Staff View it looks like music. The transport scrolls and my usb midi interface led flashes on and off indicating note data is being sent out based on the notes. I can try turning on a sound module--what instruments should I try? BTW: starting at 1:01:000, it plays and then loops endlessly from 5:01:000 to 20:04:119. That's the way it was when I opened it. If that were your issue, I'd say turn loop off. But that doesn't sound like its the original issue you had. So I am not sure. Update: It defaulted to a hardware orchestral sound module I have. The three tracks that show me data played.

Thanks for the clarification. I found a picture of AC online "Aaron Copland under umbrella, University of Kansas, 1973." Maybe there are others, too.

nod to little umbrellas, maybe?

Not sure this is the best solution or if it fits with your workflow, but I just clicked on a few non-consecutive notes on the same pitch using Ctrl+Left Click and then changed them in the Event Inspector Module on the Control Bar.
