Well, it is advertised as a RETRO Bundle.

I keep forgetting to check my local library's online resources, so thanks for the reminder. I just discovered my library offers something called hoopla which also has movies I can send to my Roku device. Up to 4 items per month. ? Not quite endless, but 4 items per month is a nice perk. Good thing February has an extra day this month. ?

Thanks for the follow-up on this issue. It is indeed good news that the issue wasn't caused by a random scammer.

It is still possible to reorchestrate pre-made midi files without GM sound banks. It was possible decades ago and will still be possible. Yes, it might require more thoughtfulness and effort, but what's wrong with that? Decades I picked up a commercial 3.5" floppy disk of fully licensed Led Zeppelin tunes. While they played OK with my sound card's GM bank, it was a great experience using sounds from various sound modules (including samplers and romplers). Maybe people who come into DAW forums like this one with zero knowledge of MIDI wondering why the MIDI files they downloaded don't make any sound would be inspired to be a tad more creative. BTW, there were plenty of uses of the bundled Edirol VCS and TTS-1 other than playing back pre-made midi files.

Disclosure: Last week I dug out one of my M-GS64 Sound Modules and connected it to my current Audio PC (Win 10 Pro). It works, and although even though I almost never used it as a GM device, it does have a GM sound bank. It performed admirably with the old standby tune, Canyon.mid. During the past decade (2010s) I used it extensively for multi-channel, multi-timbral textural improvs. I suppose if I wanted to I could make tunes using just the GM sound bank.

Several years ago, I saw Roland MT-32s [pre-GM sound modules] listing for (and even selling at the time for) $400+ . Those were without the after market, third party mods! I did some internet research and evidently, for a while they became desirable by gamers with seeming unlimited resources. Summer Games Miami does indeed capture the vintage game vibe! A fun happy tune.

I have several Roland hardware sound GM/GS/Sound Canvas devices from the early to mid 1990s. There are only two drawbacks: (1) no digital outs and (2) they use 5-pin DIN connectors. Other than that, they are more than capable of handling any of my GM needs.

Or maybe it's time to Just Say No! (to GM)! ? Seriously, GM is so 1980s!

Good to know that UWP gets a step closer. Good luck with it.

Long shot idea: If Preferences > MIDI > Playback & Recording > Driver Mode is MME, without a project loaded try changing the MIDI Driver Mode to UWP. I always MME there, but my gear is older. UWP might work because it is a newer product and uses Windows Bluetooth which I assume is also relatively new. If that doesn't work, remember to change it back to MME. Also, I have no experience with Bluetooth MIDI Devices, but if I had one, I would research it to see how it works. Others here might be able to chime in on these issues. If so, I defer to their knowledge of BT MIDI devices.

If you don't want to record any controller data, uncheck that:

Possibly for some people that had the issue, but not for people who didn't. Earlier today I had issues--not disappearing, but a strange, unusually long delay bringing up the keyboard shortcuts dialog that I never had before along with what seems to be UI redrawing glitches.

I am not interested in ARC4, but I did look at the upgrade prices. Just checked again. Here are the prices I see using the Versions Tab: ARC 4 $150 ARC4 - Software Only $100 ARC Studio $300 ARC Studio Upgrade $250 This is with several ARC 3 software only licenses. Here are the prices I see using the Versions Tab after logging out of my account: ARC 4 $200 ARC4 - Software Only $150 ARC Studio $300 ARC Studio Upgrade $250

I thought of suggesting getting a 64-bit computer to run CbB a few hours ago, but I thought that would be too insensitive.

Initial suggestion withdrawn. See the following post. On second thought, it's more probable that you accidentally turned off the VU meters.

If you use the Winter-24 page to look at possible sound pack purchases, be sure to have a list of ones you've purchased handy (or the store open in your software showing owned and unowned packs). Some of the packs I purchased are marked OWNED on the sale page, but many aren't. Also, the Winter-24 page seems to have the list price, not the 50% off price. UPDATE (2024-02-22): I just checked the website and it is now showing me the 50% off prices for sound packs.

I like the song, I don't play guitar, I am not familiar with the band or its members. Is the guitarist Huw Lloyd-Langton? If so, does this site help? If not, never mind.

For crappy products or products with crappy support, in the past I have gotten a response from a company by editing my previously positive review in Google Play. But that was years ago. Not sure if that strategy would work today, but I think you'd have a better chance of getting somewhere with the product than asking here. Good luck.

Is there a forum or support for Colornote? PS: I just looked up Colornote. The website has both a "Support" and a "Contact us" access point. If you contacted them and they said, sorry we get too much e-mail to answer questions, that's very unfortunate. The site is "© 2020 Social & Mobile, Inc. All Rights Reserved." I can't find any information about that company. Good luck. Oh!!!! It's something Google Play has in its "Store." Its a "new and improved" Notepad.

Nice jazzy funkiness; reminds me of the musical stylings of some of my favorite artists all blended together in an organic fusion. Very listenable!

BTW, the manual mentioned above was not prepared for CbB. It's from the time when the former owner abandoned SONAR (that is, before Bandlab resurrected it from the dead): "(updated Dec 22 2017)."

Correct me if I am wrong, you have several audio tracks, a single midi track, and no instrument tracks. Is that right? When you say you are trying to export both audio and midi, I am wondering why, what is the goal of doing an export? When you ask about converting midi tracks without having a midi device, I am wondering what you want to convert them to. Do you want to play them on a software synth so you can have audio? If so, I suggest either (1) using instrument tracks which combine both midi and audio in a single, hybrid track or (2) using a soft synth and pointing the midi track to the soft synth. I suspect that either one of those options will help achieve what you want.
