I am not sure what "several screens" means, but I often minimize soft synths. They then show up as minimized window icons in the lower left corner of my main Cakewalk desktop. In Cakewalk I have ToolTips on. Hovering over the minimized FX window icons does not display any information about the soft synths. If I click on the overlapping boxes on the left side of a minimized window icon, it will restore a soft synth. If I click on an X (right side), it closes just as if I Xed out the soft synth itself. If I right-click on the left side or the center, I get some options, but no information indicating which soft synth is which. I get the same options when I click on the "FX" box to the left of the overlapping boxes. Minimized soft synths: Right-click options: In Windows [10], if I hover over the Cakewalk icon on the task bar, I get a miniature version of my Cakewalk project. If I hover over the mini-project tool tip, I see the soft synths superimposed on my monitors where they would be restored. There is no indication of which minimized icon window belongs to which soft synth. When I stop hovering, the "pop-ups" disappear. I am used to restoring and minimizing the plug-ins one by one to find the one I am looking for, but I generally have less than a handful minimized. I can understand that if someone has more, it can be extremely frustrating. To be clear, at no point when I just ran though this step-by-step to write this up did I see "a pop-up with the name of the plug-in and the track it's on." If there is a setting I can change to make that happen, I would like that. Thanks for any other help you (or any one else) can offer.

Some footnotes to what others have already stated: Since my mouse motor coordination has gotten worse over the decades, I tend to prefer a larger target than a smaller target to grab onto. Also, when dragging tracks into folders, the destination changes from a single line to a rectangle.

I have just dragged them (one at a time) into Cakewalk. I haven't used either the audio loops or the midi loops for anything (other than previewing them), but it is also easy to just download them to a folder and drag them from the Media Browser if they meet your needs.

Thanks for the Korg link. I decided to download the latest configuration utility and found my Korg Kontrol Editor no longer worked, despite the fact that the nanoKontrol itself still worked (per MIDI-OX). After getting midi port failure messages and an inability to receive/send [communicate], I finally found how to correct the problem. Just a guess, but I think the The 2020 Korg driver uses a different device name than my previous driver. My solution was to change the device marked "(Not Connected)"--possibly from a previous configuration file--to the names evidently used by the new driver. I had to do this for both MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. I mention this here in case someone else updates their Korg USB-MIDI Tools and has a similar problem. New Korg USB Driver device names :

SONAR 3.3.1: Cakewalk: Not quite 20 years apart. One of the differences is the proliferation of usb/midi devices. If you unplug them and move them to different usb ports/hubs, that can cause issues.

Is this a duplicate triplicate post? (wanna go for quadruplicate?)

I hope its not pre-mature, but congrats! Maybe something you did reset a setting that caused an automatic sequence/patch/etc. to stop playing. Hope the problem doesn't return.

To rule out the possibility that the Casio is generating the midi data, try a utility like MIDI-OX independently of any other midi software. I have had it working on Windows 10 for a few years.

I haven't been following the details of this thread, but the use of remote control MIDI for realtime performance has interested me for ages. When I ran into the problem with remote control on the Inspector-based Arpeggiator, I think I tested using a momentary contact foot pedal to turn input echo on/off on tracks. Is that the kind of thing you are looking to do? Also, for a few months I have been building a realtime performance setup using z3ta+ FX and mainly TTS-1, but I have done it with other softsynths. As for controlling, z3ta+ FX, so far I have been using a slider on a nanoKontrol to play in realtime the feedback parameter in the delay module (though I have plans to do the same with other parameters). Just adjusting the delay feedback level, I can go from constant delay looping to none. Again, I haven't been following the details, but based on your post, I am wondering if what I have been doing could apply to your "Flippertronics" or are you doing that 100% with audio (i.e., no midi control)?

Menu Bar > Views > Event List is different than the Control Bar Event Inspector. If you don't see it under views, read this:

If feature is missing, first check the Menu Bar (e.g., Views). If the feature is not listed there, check for a possible Workspace issue. If the feature is listed there, check the specifics of your current project, for example Missing MIDI features , etc. ADDENDUM 2020-06-15: See for example:

TRUE!!! I think I finally resolved it in my head a while ago with: None = "You didn't chose any, so all are chosen for you." Omni = "Either you chose None and all were selected for you, or you chose all."

See example 2:

Sometimes a missing feature results from the specifics of your project. For example, features related to MIDI might be missing if you (a) don't have any midi devices selected in preferences or (b) if your project only has audio tracks. Example 1: Problem: Instrument Definitions are not showing up where they used to!!! PROBLEM: WHY? No MIDI Devices checked!!! Example 2: Problem: On the Menu Bar under Views, PRV [Piano Roll View] is grayed out and cannot be selected!!! PROBLEM: WHY? The project only has audio tracks.

Loved the music. As for the video, I learned something new about myself--some yawns were contagious, other not. Thanks for sharing.

Glad it provided the trigger. The guide is coming along nicely! BTW, the link only gave me 0.9.4 earlier today--twice; but it gave me 0.9.5 a few minutes ago. ?

I mostly use z3ta+ [v1.5.4.0 VST2, 64 Bit, In: 2, Out: 2] as an FX processor, but the synth dll also works. (PC = 4GB RAM, duo core, legacy PCI audio card). It is as reliable or more reliable on my PC than Dim Pro and Rapture from around the same era (+/-). Never got a z3ta+ issue on scanning VSTs. I scan manually, after a reset. I do get warnings about other plug-ins, though, but not z3ta+. Maybe these details will be helpful in debugging your z3ta+.

Did I miss the deadline yesterday?

For a related discussion, see also : which includes: For example, I have W's behavior configured so it rewinds and keeps playing. The Go-to-Start button does the same thing. However, I can bind Ctrl+Home to Stop, duplicating the Stop button. The point here is that based on what I tested on 3/18/2020 and confirmed today, "The Go to Start transport button uses the CTRL+HOME shortcut" is not true. On 3/18/2020 I asked if someone else could test that. No one replied. If my experience is not the same on others' PCs, I'd be happy to edit my comments, but so far as I can see, under 2020.01 (build 28) it does not use the function bound to the Ctrl + Home key combo. (I don't consider this a bug as I like being able to re-purpose Ctrl+Home. Since I already have both W and the Go-to-Start button, I don't need a two-key combo to do the same thing.)

For me "W" is pretty easy, but the virtual button also works-- it just depends if I want to use my left hand or my right hand.

Does it show up in any of your Audio FX Plug-in layouts?

Control Bar > Modules > Transport > Background [small and large] small: large: large w/pink Viewport Background: Note: Viewport Background is already in the manual but here it is with the colors from the "large" example.

I tested the parameter you used; I didn't see any change.** Then I tried Control Bar > Modules > Transport > Background (small). EDIT: Just changed Background [Large]. **EDIT # 2: Just found what the Viewport Background affects. (See the third image-pink area.) I have been thinking of testing some colors for myself for a while. So thanks for giving me a convenient opportunity.

Nice that someone else had an NK2 file that (with some tweaks) works with your workflow. Thanks for sharing the info on your solution.

I was looking through my nanoKontrol 1 Presets for AZController and I have one that with scene 1 lets the sliders control track volumes in Cakewalk plus the start button toggles between play and pause and the stop button stops the Cakewalk Transport. I don't remember how I set it up, but might be able to reconstruct that this afternoon/evening if it might help. Mine doesn't have MCU mode, but it looks like you aren't using that. If not, my method might work. Briefly (until I get to look at it), the transport buttons show up as URT [Universal Real Time] commands. In one (or more) of the AZ Controller tabs, there are transport functions. Hope this will help get you started. If not I will try to reconstruct how I did it.
