But I think you mean you have never used keyboard assignments / shortcuts to map a keyboard to Cakewalk/Sonar functions. Possibly you don't even use keyboard shortcuts. https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036997613-Keyboard-Shortcuts Try this: Type P [for Preferences]. This should bring up Preferences--options you can look at and change. Make sure Advanced (not Basic) is selected. Hint: It's at the bottom of Preferences. In the left-hand column, under Customizations, Click on Keyboard Shortcuts. TIP: If you can't figure it out, there's a HELP button at the bottom. https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=CakewalkSonar&language=3&help=0x200DF

Is that a deal? I haven't used new Corel software since they privatized the company for less than many public investors paid. While the Capital Loss was somewhat useful to offset some Capital Gains, the privatization still stung. JMO: Not a bad profit.

Several years ago a Windows 10 upgrade changed audio stuff on my PC so that the software (Patchmix) for my top-of-the Line E-Mu Digital Audio System no longer worked. The audio card and accompanying Audio Dock became useless under Windows 10. While it still worked as expected on my XP SP3 PC, my XP PCs are no longer in service and not worth repairing. For several few years after that the firewire port on on the E-Mu cards still worked flawlessly, but then stopped. Since I had the same issue on several cards (some had been out of service since they no longer worked under Windows 10), it is possible that a Windows upgrade contributed to the firewire port's demise. If by some stroke of luck I find I have an old bootable HDD that was pulled before the Windows upgrade that bricked my Audio Dock System, I will use it to try to reconstruct a working Windows 10 Audio PC. If successful, I plan to keep it off the Internet.

Not sure if this has been announced yet, but it just showed up as an ADDON. Webpage says its an unpublished product. Looks like the price for purchase when available might be $11 (free for some of us). Teaser Video.

PS re: 17.05: MSoundFactory: Added over 200 Global Presets by sound designer XTD. XTD made available a large group of presets, not through the downloadable ONLINE EXCHANGE system, but by special arrangement directly to MSF. As such they show up categorized in XTD folders as GLOBAL PRESETS. They do not have GUIs and are not found as Devices--the instruments in the left-hand panel of MSF. They all start with X (as in X Extrabass, X Jazzy Guitar, etc.). From what I have seen, most (as in almost all I have checked) show as "NO INSTRUMENT LOADED" (since they don't have device GUIs) but can be edited if you have the full version of MSF. Some (as in very few of the ones I have checked) do have a controllable parameter (maybe two) exposed. For example, the global preset X Anew has a knob exposed for Delay (0% to 100%). Similarly, X Bazz 404 has knobs for both Saturation (0% to 100%) and Delay (0% to 100%). I assume that MSF LE owners (a) get the XTD Global Presets, (b) can play them, and (c) can adjust any parameters that have been made available by XTD, but (d) cannot access the deep structure of the preset via the EDIT mode. Maybe someone with MSF LE can confirm this?

Just a footnote (as a fan of MSF): Wishmaster strings was added with version 17.04 along with some others. Recent additions include: 17.05: Added new instruments: Constellation keys, Chidori pad, Choirs of veritas, Evil alien bass, Hellriser bass, String machine. 17.04: Added new instruments : Hou5 pluck, Lo-fi vibes, Wishmaster strings. 17.03: Added new instruments: Hyperboy, Dark tech 17.02: Added MSoundFactory instrument Atmospace. 17.00: Added new instruments: Cyberpunk bass, Trap bass, Cyclicity, Ethereal keys, Alchemist whoosh, Organic scape 16.11: Added new instruments: Cosmosis, Cyber bear, Deep vibes, Frozen sparks, Magic dust, Mecha vox, Neon dolls, Solar flare, Sonic pulse, Sugar rush, Twisted wave Yup. It seems there is a difference between (1) instruments that are added to MSF itself and therefore listed as changes to the versions (such as above) and (2) instruments that are available / sold as add-ons, such as the Power_______ series, the Analog Empire______ series, Meldway Grand, etc. and are found in the MSOUNDFACTORY & MDRUMMER ADDONS tab of the MPluginManager. FYI: I took the instruments added to the versions of MSF (above) from the MCompleteBundle Change Log which doesn't list the instruments that are listed in the ADDONS tab of MPluginManager. I seem to recall using the ADDONS tab for some of the the instruments (such as Analog Empire Pads and Strings) separately from doing the PLUGINS update.

Thanks for the update! Good to know what solved it for you.

Last week, I wrote to IK to ask if 12 items I don't have licenses for (because they came out after my IK purchases) were included in the new Total Studio MAXGrade Offer (Alien Harbours, Beat Machines, Bionic Drums, Circuit Damage, Extraterrestrial Saxophone, Ring of Doom, Salsa Percussion Loops, Swarm, Syntronik 2 Synth-X, The Code Volume 1, The Code Volume 2, Vector Vision. As concerns Syntronik 2, I would suggest that instead of speculating (or assuming they had no reason, or it was arbitrary), people can ask IK.

Thanks!

. . . and right below the picture it says: Whether or not the "build and upgrade your channel with an expandable library" means they will be ala carte or part of tiered upgrades, I think that surely indicates it remains to be seen--i.e., something planned and to be made available in the future as you suggested. I could be wrong, but that's how I read the image + text. Maybe it will be part of a promo--e.g., renew your subscription now and for a limited time we'll throw in . . . ., or something like that. Hope that takes off some of the suckiness.

I am glad to hear you solved the problem of your truncated tracks.

I could be wrong, but as I have understood it ever since development of the new products were first announced a couple of years ago, Cakewalk Next was never intended to be the next step after Cakewalk Pro Audio, Cakewalk SONAR, and Cakewalk by Bandlab, but rather from Bandlab the web app / Bandlab Studio. Others have commented on converting *.cwp projects and accessing them in Cakewalk Next if that's what your intent is. Another option is to use Cakewalk Sonar, not Cakewalk Next.

Thanks for the clarification. Post removed.

OOOOOPS! [ Insert :embarrassed: emoji here ] I was thinking of a Star Trek episode specifically (these things, in general): I suppose in a way they are indeed little grandmothers--small beings that make things right!

I don't generally use the quick start screen, but I checked some of the recent files I have opened and they do include a few *.mid files. Out of curiosity, does the current quick start screen also include *.wrk files? ADDENDUM: I answered my own question re: *.wrk files: yes. (FWIW: date/time/length error reported via in-app form.)

FWIW: When ceez started the "Until there's a separate discussion for Product Center" thread, I suspect ceez might have been implying that there should be a separate website page under Cakewalk Products for "Cakewalk Product Center." I have no opinion on that; it's for others to decide.

You are correct. Notice the date of my post: 5 days ago!!! Also keep in mind that I replied directly to a post that read "it updates to 10.0.094 and again singing in Bandlab is impossible." Thanks for asking. PS: I know you know this, but for the benefit of others who might not have seen it:

(1) I checked the other day by searching the IK Store for Syntronik. I just checked again. The site says 0 [zero] for Syntronik Products. (2) The other day I also checked the IK Forum and Syntronik came up as being discontinued--but if you already own it, you can still use it. (3) I just checked on line (several places). Audio Plugin Deals has an article "Still Using Syntronik 2 in 2025 (Discontinued)? These Are the Synths Worth Loading Up and As Well As Alternative Synths" It might be true (I don't know) that some third-party vendors have them for sale, but so far as I have seen. IK does not have them listed for sale.

I didn't overthink anything. I just explained it in detail for your benefit. Your post made no sense whatsoever. That's hardly overthinking. For the record, in my mind's ear, I definitely heard "oh is there now" but with a ? at the end. Clearly you think very highly of the ahhhhtistry of a band I never heard of--about which someone in the forum commented, Thanks for clarifying that you were intentionally being silly and snooty.

Thanks. I was interested, in part to pick up the one syntronik model I don't have, but it looks like IK has discontinued the syntronik line (plus it's no longer included in the Total Studio Bundle). Looks like it includes a large number of Premium Tonex Models and Nine Pianoverse Models, though. VERSION COMPARISON
