Quick . . . before they un-ban you . . . write a song and get it out there . . . . Booted out Run out of town Banned by K V R etc.

AHA! Not a problem for me, but I now remember, I did change the "Lock Height" setting when I was exploring an issue someone described where tracks were not visible because the Audio/MIDI/Synths/Hidden panel was obscuring them. So evidently I did it knowingly after all!

I never use this command, but I just tested it to teach myself. The tracks spaced themselves within the window with the one folder I had remaining the same size. Since I don't use this short-cut, I did not knowingly change the default settings. (Basically, I am seeing the same behavior; no idea why its different for others, but its not just you!)

Glad that part of it helps! Its been a while since I setup my AZController preset/configuration. IIRC it shows what midi is being received. Do the drum pads show they are sending out data there? If the drum pads are sending out sysex data, that could mean additional programming is needed. If data shows up from other parts of the R8, but not the Drum Pads, maybe there is a way to turn them on--either through the Zoom itself or a Zoom/R8 utility . If not, I'd ask Zoom. Not sure if they have a user's forum.

I am totally unfamiliar with your gear, but I have used pedals on an ART X-15 which generates MIDI and was wondering about your pedals and routing. The Questions section of the website has this: So, I am wondering if the pedal is routed through your gear in such a way as to generate midi data. I looked at pictures of your VooDoo unit, but not the manual. It has pedal I/Os. Does it convert the voltage to midi data? The blurb at Sweetwater makes me think it does. So, if the VooDoo's magic will let you configure setups (presets) you can switch with the buttons to define maps for the pedal, that's the way I would go if I had those. That's as far as I got; maybe it adds something to what you already know.

I had success using AZController to set up my nanoKontroller both with the Cakewalk interface and parameters on my favorite plug-in. I don't have the links handy, but he has some videos that helped me get started and he has a website that should be easy to search for. Maybe it will help you with the Zoom. I should add that with the nanoKontrol, all of the sliders and buttons are configurable with the Korg Editor. I am not sure Zoom let's you do that or if they even publish what data the controls use. I looked at the Zoom site a few hours ago and saw that as of February 2020 they still seem to be testing their software with other music programs. You might want to see if they are testing Cakewalk and if not perhaps you could ask them to include it in their tests. Not sure if you saw this SOS Article, but it does say: To me this tends to confirm my initial thought that the window you described was coming from the Zoom software. Perhaps they need help developing their driver options. The R8 looks handy; maybe you can help them out. I looked for a document with a table of data output by the R8's controls--would be handy to map the R8 control data to anything else. I couldn't find such a table. Perhaps you could record the midi output of the R8 (each control, one at a time) to make your own table--especially if they don't have a utility like Korg and other do to set up the controls yourself?

Midi files do not have Bank and Patch settings (and others) as found in Cakewalk files--such as those in the track controls . Standard MIDI files >>might<< have bank and preset settings. To find out, look under Views > Event List. If you want to select / set banks and patches so they can be used in SONAR/Cakewalk, save the tunes as Cakewalk (*.cwp) files. If you want to select / set banks and patches to be used from standard midi files, edit the data using the Event List.

To my ear, the "laaaa, ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhhh" part sound in the second video sounds more like something from "Lover's Concerto" than "Sunday Will Never Be the Same."

I also like the 1960s/70s retro intrigue tune. You capture that very well.

Is your Cakewalk Projects folder one level up?

Just a footnote: Using the MFX Arpeggiator plug-in and the CTRL + Right Click method to select the plug-in, we have the ability to generate arpeggiated midi events directly from the Staff View and the PRV. Not saying this is a preferred solution, but it does seem to be another tool for adding arpeggiated notes to the midi event list.

Footnote to (1) the use of CTRL and (2) using the Staff View Context Menu to Slide, Transpose, Arpeggiate, etc. groups of selected notes by certain amounts: See this problem-solution related to accessing the Staff View Context Menu features.

Thanks!! I was granted access to these features by first using the Select Tool to make a selection and then CTRL + Right Clicking on the staff outside the selected area. ADDENDUM: This "secret method" might help with other issues that have been raised, such as moving, transposing, arpeggiating, etc. groups of notes. So, thanks also to @Starship Krupa for pointing out the all the features in the Staff View's Content Menu.

I used to use Cakewalk's version of Voxengo's convolution reverb--not so much for simulating specific acoustic spaces, but more for experimental textures. Last time I tried the plug-in, it seemed a bit glitchy on my system; haven't tried newer/more efficient plug-ins; used to have links to IR fans that had massive libraries of IRs.** SONY even had some from the days when they owned Sound Forge. Thanks for reviving these memories with the topic and for everyone chiming in with new-to-me ideas for using IRs. **I seem to recall one IR fan that had most of his in Mac-based files, but wasn't too difficult to convert them to wav files (or whatever I used to do). That might have been the one with various Cathedrals.

Moved from another thread where my reply was 100% off topic: What's the secret to getting features ungrayed out? I tried right-clicking with each of the buttons in the Tools module selected, including with each (and both all and none) of the options in the "Smart" tool selected. Also, I tried audio tracks, midi tracks, and instrument tracks. Thanks.

Oooops. Reply is 100% OT in this thread; will move to another thread.

I understand now; thanks for clarifying what you meant. I have not looked for the kind of up/down cycling through the columns you need. Maybe someone else knows if it can be done.
