Not 100% sure, but I seem to recall the tape hiss in this or other tape emulations was part of the design precisely because it was an emulation. I haven't explored this one in a long while, but it is capable of some really wild effects. From the discussion I believe the issue of whether or not the hiss was "unwanted" depended on how much realism someone wanted. I don't recall Cherry Audio added dxb or other noise reduction features to it.

So far as I can see standard MIDI Program Changes [aka patch/preset changes] don't work for VST3 Instruments within CbB. I am hoping the feature can be added to Cakewalk Sonar. Thanks.

UPDATE (11 + hours later): evidently task manager was showing me the activity for the circling UI dots. ? As soon as I minimized the IK Product Manager UI, Task Manager reported 0% activity. So, 10 products under the Sound tab still show Update instead of Installed . I will contact IK Support to see (1) if I really need to update those sounds, and (2) if so, what they recommend.

UPDATE (3 + hours later): the dots that move around in a circle inside the lightened IK Product Manager UI are still circling. Task manager has shown that something is happening. Anytime I looked there were 4 sub-processes listed. Almost every time I looked two were at 0% of my CPU (never > 0.2%) and the other two were almost always >0% each generally ranging from 2% to under 4% of my CPU. I see no evidence that IK files were downloaded or that an IK log was written to. The free space available on each of my hard drives is the same as it was 3 + hours ago. Time/date stamps don't show any new IK files.

This doesn't fix a bug I had the last time I ran IK Product Manager. It still says I need to update even more products (Sounds) than ever before. All of the ones allegedly needing to be updated are now expired even though I had recently downloaded or updated everything (or almost everything). The last time this happened, there were only a handful of products that had expired that allegedly needed updating. Now there are ten. So, is the product manager wrong in saying that I need to update those Sound Content Products for some odd reason or did IK really update the Sound Content Products? Maybe with new products, they might have changed the format of the files or the way they are registered or something like that. I suppose I can try the Install All Sounds button. Maybe that will resolve the discrepancy.

Not sure about what's right with people as a class, but some individuals are pretty groovy.

FWIW, I looked at this document earlier several hours ago and again just now. I thought it was most recent OS update. So far as I can see none of the new features (see table on page 1) reference audio being sent through the usb port. Maybe there was an OS updated after 2015?

I suppose it is possible that Korg reissued an updated PA500 that sends audio data out the usb port, but the user (2008) and service manuals (2007) for the PA500 I found on line do not show that ability. I suppose it is also possible that they were able to do that with a software update. I looked, but didn't do an exhaustive search. @Max Arwood where would you suggest the OP look?

From the MeldaProduction e-mail: I forget what it said when I first went to that page, but I pressed something (possibly "redeem") and a code showed up. At that point, I went to UnitedPlugins, created an account, and then registered the code. I don't know if everyone who owns any plugins from MeldaProduction got the present or it is based on ownership of specific bundles. Did you get the e-mail? (The email might have gone to a spam folder. )

Thanks. I may have skipped that thread because I didn't need MUnison (a Melda plugin) and / or didn't have a UnitedPlugins Account. I'll leave this here even though it overlaps the other thread because there might have been others who also skipped reading the multi-page thead.

Not sure who else might have gotten this, but I found an e-mail (might have been in my spam box) that told me to log into my MeldaProduction Account for a free code for UnitedPlugins' FireMaster plugin. Review at MusicTech Webpage at UnitedPlugins

This ^^^. From manual I found on line directly from Korg: It is unclear if by "record digitally" the OP meant "record MIDI" (as opposed to audio).

I agree. The tempo snap setting is not related to to clip stretch percentages.

For what it's worth, SONAR X3 works under Win10 Pro. I would hate to have to give up using Workspaces (and bunches of new features and improvements) but if the new Cakewalk products (Cakewalk Next, Cakewalk Sonar) are beyond my budget (which it looks like it might be based on the prices so many of you have been asking for / predicting / speculating about), it is good to know that SONAR X3 still works.

Not relevant to clip stretching.

Would checking Snap Tempo to Whole Numbers help? Not relevant to clip stretching.

Post with tangential issues removed.

What you choose to do is your own business. Since by your own admission you didn't purchase a license before it was rescued from the grave by Bandlab, you might be out of luck trying to purchase a legitimate copy now.

It almost looks as though @msmcleod is saying that the sliders are supposed to result in MIDI messages being sent out continually except when set to zero. I don't think this ^^^ is what he is saying, but in re-reading this thread and a newer thread that references this one, I see why there might be some confusion.

Really? Sorry if I misunderstood the thread. I don't think I did, but I'll apologize just in case. Its a MIDI Maker Sparrow 400 Sparrow 400

I think I figured it out: You refer to "these great controllers," "they're 5x the cost of this unit," and "Has anyone used this?" Your use of language confused me because it is impossible to tell what "these," "they," "this," and "this" refer to. HUH? Not sure what you mean by my question and why you suggested I contact the vendor/maker. It makes no sense to me why you asked "if anyone had used them." My original guess was that you wanted to know about them. But if all you wanted to ask "if anyone had used them," then my post answered your question by pointing to someone in the forum who used one. Maybe it's not clear. Let me try one last time. You asked a question. I tried to help you. I was not seeking any information about the Sparrow 4 x 100 mm midi controller from you or the person (OP = Original Poster] in the thread I gave you to try to help you.
