Just an FYI given the interest in the expanded Synth Rack:

YUP!!!! Long time user (since MS-DOS, but I had limited use of TTS/SONAR/Cakewalk during the years I was sequencing mainly via hardware sequencers built into ROMplers/Samplers/etc.). I learned about the expanded Synth Rack features here in 2020: Astralos raised some issues with the expanded synth rack. I posted the link in case others want to read about them. Its a relatively short thread; didn't catch much attention.

It probably depends on how you define meat. For example, a few decades ago my then wife (a vegetarian) and I went to a Chinese restaurant and she wanted to make sure a particular dish didn't have any meat. It was clear from attempts at clarifying the matter that to the staff, meat meant beef, not chicken or pork. So, by that definition, "normal" Spam doesn't have meat! ? In any case, I doubt it was Halal, Kosher, Vegetarian, or Vegan (or good for people needing a reduced sodium diet for that matter)!

After having issues routing MIDI to hybrid instrument tracks (audio + MIDI), I have gone back to the old school method of having multiple MIDI tracks pointed to a soft synth/instrument track that has plug-ins. For me, I have more control over routing than trying to use the combined instrument tracks without MIDI tracks point to them. So, my question is about this practice being potentially problematic: Is it more a problem because some users might get confused/lost in what they are trying to do, or are there known issues where sooner or later, Cakewalk will get confused? Thanks.

I had this problem with my mouse wheel, so I took some time to get a feel for where hot spots were for the sliders and knobs. In the Console View, I tend to make sure I am on the leds to avoid accidentally changing things.

I am not an expert on Windows, but everything I have ever seen says that newer Visual C++ Redistributables don't eliminate the need for older ones. For example:

FYI: It is now called "Workspaces" but the link scook posted in 2019 still works. It points to the on-line documentation for "Workspaces."

I remembered this was asked before. For example (click on "msmcleod replied to a topic" to get to the specific post in that lengthy thread where he mentions using the Inspector to set Foreground and Background) :

I only know about stuff that I explore. Generally I defer to others who know more than I do. As for the lists with the colors, I only had those on my PC while I was exploring some of the Early Access Releases as I mentioned. Some background, Cakewalk has a lot customization possibilities. Some are relatively easy to do as a Cakewalk user and can be done within Cakewalk itself. Some require a deeper understanding. Cakewalk has a theme editor which is handy for those really users into developing full themes and for customizing themes. I have old-age related vision issues. That's why I decided to learn how to use the theme editor--to try to make things easier on my eyesight. As for the colors in the list (VST, VST3, DX), it helped my eyesight to have the bright colors and was hoping the general releases would keep the ability to customize them, but I assume the developers (who I admire and respect) had reasons not to keep it that way. Sorry to confuse you (and maybe others), I was trying to pinpoint for you the approximate time frame for when I really noticed the font difference that you were asking about.

It was around March or April of 2021 that they were presenting it in Early Access releases. At one point, I was exploring what kind of theme-able customizations were in the EA versions. However, the official release didn't have the colorizable options I explored. After that, if I recall correctly, there were some more tweaks to make it easier to see the flyout boxes. Just so you know, fonts are not customizable. PS: To my eye the font in the EA release (see link above) seems the same as today.

I noticed the slight different fonts before but it never bothered me. PS: I think I noticed it when the fly-out menus for FX plug-ins were introduced and refined. I think someone called them flatbed menus at one point.

Not based on anything I read, just based on some Roland gear I have, but I thought TTS-1 used the PCM samples Roland used extensively in hardware ROMplers. I never did a systematic comparison of things like the MT-32 sounds with the M-GS64 sounds, but I seem to recall from using them a while back that the PCM sounds were far less dull.

I never used my bundled XLN AD2 perk that came with SONAR way back when, but the drummer in that section has inspired me to finally get off the fence and get the MALLETS pack! ?

Traffic's version of Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys was from 1971. So was Graham Nash's Military Madness. So much sadness . . . BONUS TRACK!!!!!!! Traffic live version from 1972 (13'46" concert video).

(1) Do all of the controls respond to MIDI CCs? (2) Do all of the control have MIDI learn?

I tend to get issues like some of these due to Microsoft's so-called energy management. Even if I fine tune all my system settings ("Windows, don't ***** with the settings I intentionally chose!!!"), there will be an update that undoes my preferences because . . . . [well, just because "they" can].

I like the beats! We all have different styles. My mind's ears hear some sections of different layers, such as various mellow, evolving swirling swooshes of different textures. But its your creation. Maybe the ideas from my mind's ears will resonate with your creative impulses; maybe not. Thanks for sharing.

I found this odd considering how many forum members here have mentioned using Cakewalk and the fact that Cakewalk is listed here [see Supported Hosts] and includes "Bandlab" underneath Cakewalk. Maybe the person who did those tests and that page might no longer be there. It even says: "X1 and newer is highly recommended. There were known problems when surround was enabled." Someone at some point evidently wrote that.

Not sure if it will solve the problem, but might be worth trying to fix. As for a CAL script to help, I defer to others who use them.

The first mashup I ever heard. Go Home Productions "2000 Light Years From Bolan" Rolling Stones-T.Rex . I haven't listened to this in a few years, though. So thanks for the reminder.

Am I misreading your event list? I am seeing duplicated notes. If I am reading that correctly, are the duplicated notes intentional?
