Please note: In their reply, they denied they were hacked. They made it seem like they routinely have people renew their password ("every 6 months"). Maybe they meant to say, "We have changed our login system and now prompt users to change/update their password . . . ." Have others had to change their password every 6 months?

Maybe they fixed the website after I complained about it a few weeks ago. In my case I repeatedly got into an endless loop because my current password was not accepted, even after I pretended I had forgotten it. I thought they had been hacked because it made no sense to ask for the Current Password after someone chooses the Forgot Password option.

Clarification: If the password that used to work became invalid because it was expired once a person enters the expired password in the top box and a new password in the next two boxes how did you get past that when the following page was a repeat of the "Renew Your Password" page? Or are they asking for the same password to be typed in all three boxes? The same thing happened several weeks ago when I pretended to forget my password.

Are you saying you got past the endless loop by typing "Current password" in the top box?

If the password expired, how did you get past the page that asked for the current password? Didn't entering the current password in the top box just get into an endless loop? ADDENDUM: This was a very specific pair of interrelated questions. It was not a generalized request for help wrt password updates. I generally appreciate the intentions of well-meaning forum members, but most of the replies seem to have misread the questions. It happens.

BTW, I checked the handy keyboard shortcut tool (great for finding what keys and key combos are assigned to which functions and for reassigning shortcuts)--Preferences > Customization > Keyboard Shortcuts. Without a project loaded, the Locate Key button said Alt + F6 and Alt + Shift + F6 were unassigned. Once I loaded a project, the key combos were shown to be assigned as From = Start and Thru = End respectively. Since keyboard shortcuts are affected by customizations (including custom Workspaces), YMMV.

Unless I'm mistaken, when you use the mouse to make a Selection, you are setting the From and Thru points. When you then press Alt+F6, you change the From point to Start.

When I first read this ^^^^, I also thought that you were making a selection and then extending the events selected to last until the end. This clarifies it for me and presumably for others as well. I almost never use the Piano Roll View, but I tested the Shift-Alt-F6 trick to change the Selection from whatever it was to keep the initial selection's From point and change the Thru point to the End of the project. Correct me if I am wrong, you want a shortcut that will change the From point to Start of the project and keep the Thru point from your initial selection. If you look at Menu Bar > Edit > Select, you should see the relevant short cuts. You want Alt + F6 if I understand you correctly. In fact, I just tried it and it worked. Thanks for adding to my understanding of how to use the PRV.

Several years ago I looked into some of the finer details of MIDI files. IIRC BPM tempo is calculated. See for example the following which is one source that describes the Meta-Event for Set Tempo. I remember reading more about how the calculation to BPM is done, but I don't remember the details. I do remember that I was working on a DIY MIDI hobbyist project involving a microprocessor (an Arduino), an LCD, a whole bunch of sliders, a piece of BPM gear as a MIDI clock source (a hardware sequencer/sound module). The BPM hardware was based on 384 PPQ, I needed to count MIDI clock bytes, and derive a formula based on clock bytes per time, etc. I am guessing that 94.9999999955566 BPM is close enough to 95 BPM for all practical purposes.

1 + 1 = 2 It's a chirp!

I just found it here via a Google search for "Ton Valkenburgh CAL" .

PS: The picture on page 17 shows Note mapping, but there is a button in the left-hand column to Show Mapping For: MIDI CC.

I don't have Slate Drums, but based on other it seems to me assigning a sustain pedal should be a function of the drum software. Page 17 of the manual says: I am assuming your sustain pedal send out what is commonly called CC64--an on/off midi command that almost all midi understands a "Turn Sustain On/Turn Sustain Off." Soft synths these days frequently implement tools to map CC commands to different parameters in the soft synth. Maybe someone who uses SSD 5 can confirm this method will work in SSD 5 and can put together a set of basic steps for you.

Thanks. I was just adding that in as a clarification.

Are we all talking about the same thing?

That's very possible. It could be a preset that uses a clock-based modifier** drawing from the DAW that's been tagged as a sequence. **such as an LFO

Try setting the Sequencer in Pigments to BPM (Rate Type).

I am still waiting for clocks to be based on multiple of 10 instead of 6. ?

A year or so ago, I copied my custom Workspaces from an older Win 10 PC to a newer Win 10 PC. I used Everything to look for where the *.lns files were [LNS as in lense, not INS] put them on a thumb drive and moved them to the newer PC. In my case they are in C:\Users\{My Account}\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\Lenses\User .

Not sure what you have, but I have tons of *.cmp files which begin with arp and that seem to be related to z3ta+. I also have some that seem to be related to FEUD. But they are not in the Cakewalk Projects folder. Can you give us any more clues about the files?

There are newer threads where people have asked similar questions. There have even been some clarifications since September 2023. If I had more time, I'd look a few up and post some links of other people asking similar questions and posts with additional information.

This one?

Interesting. Appeals to the programmer side of me.
