We don't get hosed after all! ? For those of you with a Groove 3 subscription / pass and who resonate with the tutorial-style of Eli Krantzberg, he has some Orchestration tutorials. Also, you might want to seek out the posts of Jerry Gerber.

You can help people to help you by posting a link to the manual for this instrument. Also, if it is a software synth (or virtual instrument), you might want to look at MFX - MIDI FX plug-ins which can be used to generate MIDI data. EDIT: Are you talking about this?

Just some FYIs: Before there were computer-based software synths, virtual instruments, etc. there were hardware synths. Toward the end of the twentieth century a number of things happened, including the development and widespread use of MIDI--a protocol for hardware (such as computers and music gear) to communicate. MIDI = Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It was based on sixteen logical channels of data (MIDI channels). Part of the history of synths includes patches, sometimes called presets--storable and recallable preconfigured settings so that patch cords (actual shielded wires with connectors at each end)** didn't have to be plugged in to a hardware synth each time a performer wanted to create a sound. (**Note: there were also other ways of routing the components of synths.) You might be surprised to learn that software that is now called a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) has roots in MIDI sequencers. Software on a computer equipped with hardware called a MIDI Interface could be used to control musical gear (i.e., hardware) that "understood MIDI." That is to say, they communicated with each other via a serial form of "information (data) sharing" using the 8-bit computer-based protocols of MIDI. (That's why they had 16 channels--a single eight-bit "word" could represent 16 different values (0000 0000 to 1111 1111 in binary. I see that your MIDI device is being seen by Windows as "Game Controller 1." Perhaps the specs for that device has more information about its MIDI implementation. If there is an online manual for this device, could you post a link to it? Over the decades I have mapped game controllers to MIDI and I'd be curious to see how what's going on with yours (which I assume is newer than anything I used). Hope this helps in addition to what others have already said (and others might add) about using instrument definitions.

No pop-up here. Maybe because I already have MP2 (though not the CS version). I stopped after TS 3.5 MAX. Maybe by TS 9.0 MAX there will be something they will offer me free if I don't buy anything more from them. Not a big deal for me; I am getting really old and have been slowing down quite a bit. I am up to one calendar/chronological year = 4.32867 life-span years. ?

Thanks for the reply. I fully understand the circumstances.

Long shot: I have seen products with drivers that don't support more than a certain number of instances of the same product. One used to require a second driver installation for a second instance of the same hardware. Another product would allow Windows to see and keep straight two instances of the same product. Any more than two and windows got confused (and so did software that relies of how Windows enumerates, registers, and reports devices). I don't know about the M-Audio Keystation61 MK3, but if I were trying to use two and got the message you got, that's what I would look into. One thing I would do is use an old tool called MIDI-OX as a simple way to see if Windows is seeing the two identical devices. If not, I would look at the manufacturer's forum, ask tech support, and Google the driver issue. I'd probably watch to see what Device Manager does when each identical device is plugged in.

Not at all the way I read it. It means that you will be responsible for keeping the rug clean on your own. If you, or MS, or a plug-in maker changes something, the team will no longer try to patch it for you and roll that into a new version for everyone. I could be wrong, but they are not pulling the rug out. The last time I checked all my versions of SONAR still worked. All of those have been discontinued. UPDATE: I stand corrected. Based on the latest information it does seem like CbB 2023.09 (1) will indeed need to be reactivated and (2) at some point (undetermined as of now) CbB will no longer function at all. So far as I can see at the moment, it is unclear if owners of pre-SONAR Platinum licenses will be able to install and use those products.

Sometimes it actually is the tool, when the tool is trash. (I definitely am not referring to Harrison's ukulele or playing. I loved all the members of The Beatles). OK. I'll take your word on it. Aside: I have bought some things that some forum members praised and concluded that their standards of what was praiseworthy were very different from mine (i.e., for my needs the products were a waste of money).

Did you contact Arturia support? I have often had success with their suggestions, although if the first solution they offer doesn't work, I have found that updating the ticket with the details can narrow it down to a solution that works on my system.

This makes sense. Thank you for your service!

The nice thing about cheap emulations is you can have a dozen or more variants for the cost of the original.

It's not the tool, it's how you use it. https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/beatles-george-harrison-tom-petty-ukulele-story/

Have you looked in the Cakewalk Reference Guide? There used to be a way to share stuff between the two. Let me see if I can find a link to that section in the Online Documentation. Does this help? As for integration with forthcoming Cakewalk products (Cakewalk Next and Cakewalk Sonar) you will have to wait until there is more information available. As for increased storage space, you might want to contact Bandlab help/support.

I thought referral codes were only good for first time Melda customers.

"Your download has been started, thanks for using SendGB" Thanks. My keyboard blocks the very bottom on my monitor.

I get an ad for SendGB.

There are a number of videos on line (live performances)--I can't remember how many times over the past 5 or so years I have listened to at least to at least one version and/or a related documentary/interview. Happy Music!!!

Yup. This is what some of us have been saying all along. Maybe this time . . . . Seven hours later . . . See how much fun it is when everyone gets to chime in? Thanks for proving my point, guys. ?

I agree that a poll is not needed. But as long as anxiety-ridden worry warts are using all sorts of manipulative tactics to try to get what they want, having a poll could be a fun, participatory thing that will get all the whiners to stop being so selfish in advocating for what they want. If you have seen some of my other posts, I previously articulated positions that reflects much of what you said (wait and see what happens before jumping to conclusions, trust the team that has previously shown respect and loyalty to SONAR/Cakewalk users, etc. Some forum member have agreed. However, some people that don't have the level of trust I have are being overly vocal IMO. A poll as I described would level the playing field by enabling everyone to voice their opinion and to do so without all the anxiety, negativity, etc. Who knows, maybe your reply will achieve the same end. If so, I'm cool with that!!! Clarification: I never intended for the poll to be used to make decisions--just to allow more people to voice their preferences and "to get it out of their systems."

Could you clarify this ^^^^? It used to be that we purchased licenses for new versions of SONAR if we wanted or we could use the last version we paid for. For example, I paid for SONAR 3, SONAR 5, SONAR 6, SONAR 8.5, SONAR X1 (producer, expanded IIRC) and SONAR X3 (two versions, one for me and the Studio version for my kids' computer). IIRC under the Gibson "Lifetime Update" Promotion, that could be paid off over time, but was that available before? And let us all say, Amen!!!!

Could someone please create a poll that allows forum members to rank order up to 5 preferences each for future Cakewalk products and purchase options with the maximum, minimum, and ideal price they would pay? Let's give everyone a voice, not just those who want to get a head start on their "I'm-naming-my-own-preferred-plan-and / or-price-publicly" posts. Thanks.
