Are you interested in organ sounds or do you need the full slate of either GM/GS sounds? If your goal is simply to be able to hear organ sounds at home, I would think there might be other plug-ins which have organ sounds that might meet your needs.

I assume by this you mean you used a utility to search your system for all *.cwp files?

Glad you found it worked for you. I would agree: changes / improvements to features such as the Tempo Track really ought to be listed in the Release Notes if they aren't!

@Sock Monkey Perhaps you need to update Next to the current version?

Interesting--I ran MPluginManager yesterday just to see if I was up-to-date, but I looked quickly. Nothing jumped out to say, "Here's a new instrument you can download and install." For all I know maybe it was there yesterday. I know I didn't scroll down past Dream Machines. In fact, I didn't even notice that the scroll bar location was not at the bottom. In either case, I found it today now that I knew to look for it. Thanks for the heads up!

Also, "Bah bah black sheep . . . "

Glad to hear you pinpointed the cause!

I almost never use Media, but I gave this a try and the folders opened up with my normal double-click speed. If I slow the double click down, it goes to folder name edit mode like your video shows. Maybe your double-click speed setting in Windows changed?

I learned this lesson once when I had worked on a conference paper in a word processing program called SpeedScript. I hadn't saved in several hours. As I said, I learned this lesson once. No need to relearn it; once was enough! In fact, even though that was around 4 decades ago, just thinking about it, in my mind's eye I can see the room I was working in, where I was sitting, typing, the paper I was working on, how I had index cards and printouts of the ideas I wanted to pull together into the paper, etc. I don't remember my exact stream of words, but I remember the feeling of having lost several hours of ongoing writing and editing and the futility of trying to reconstruct the version I had just before it crashed. JMO: It's a very valuable lesson to learn early. BTW, nowadays I have an automatic reminder in my brain thanks to that incident. "You haven't saved in a while; better save it right now!!!" I didn't know it at the time, but I have come to think of the incident as a blessing.

In addition to the older Cakewalk by Bandlab Reference Guide, see also the newer online help system. There's an article on Using the Plug-in Manager on the Cakewalk Sonar page. PS: These are part of the How Can We Help? support help system. Oh--if you prefer the online legacy documentation, there's an index there.

This is a good question. From what I have seen as a consumer, once IK come out with products, the contents of those specific versions are fixed--new products that come out after are not added. I have seen in recent years, some V. 2 products that have been expanded to include new products. I don't use Tonex, so I defer to those who do to clarify if the Tonex line follows the pattern I've seen. I tend to use the Versions tab and the compare button to tell me what a product includes or not. Also, since I am more interested in synths, I made a spreadsheet (updated often) for IK's synths and libraries. So, when they came out with Sampletank 4 Max V.2 I added those in a column so I could track what I had based on earlier Total Studio bundles and other IK synth purchases. "Consumers of the World, Unite!"

Not sure if you are talking about are set, optional user expansions. If so, see if someone has created instrument definition files for them. If not or if you are talking about user presets you have created, you can edit the the instrument definition in a simple editor like Notepad. (I know there's a built-in tool, but I found editing hundreds of presets easier to enter by editing the file.) Also, maybe someone has written a patch librarian that creates instrument files from the presets currently in the gear. I am not sure about Yamahas, I mostly created my own for E-Mus (Proteus/Command Stations and Ultra Samplers).

To clarify my point, I wasn't saying scrolling is a bad idea. I don't think personal choices like this need to be an either/or thing. For example, in one Workspace I might want the largest FX Bin size possible; for another Workspace I might want small FX Bins. For the latter, scrolling would be not only helpful, but essential.

It looks to me like the strips in Cakewalk Sonar are limited to a maximum of 12 visible slots in the FX Bin. I would be in favor of that being increased if it's possible.

I get it: "Cakewalk Sonar for DAWs" 😉

What issue?

It's a little better than it was a few hours ago. Now I get failed logins from running ASC (instead of it not doing anything) and the website has a "down for maintenance" page instead of the servers being down.

Interesting. I have the studioverb2 dll and chm in a backup folder with files from an old hard drive. The chm file is dated from 2005. Not sure which edition of Sonar mine came from, but I do have X1 (among others). Congrats on solving the mystery. BTW, at the bottom of the chm help page, there's this:

In my experience that message has always meant that more than one piece of software is trying to access the same MIDI port. Forum search for "not enough memory." Windows passes that message on to software (such as Cakewalk) as needed.

AI has its own mind!

Hey! To some people it's not a matter of politics, but religion! 🤪

On account of the one post that crossed the line?
