How to nudge Midi notes an Octave up or down using different keys?
Astraios replied to Shaan's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
The same here with the "Touch Portal" software (this seems to be quite close to the Studioware Panel concept, but with the advantage that you can edit all and everything) - octave up -down, only one click makes it happen... 🤓 Yes, okay, of course, it has the disadvantage or advantage of being hosted on an Android device via USB. The advantage, however, is that you can save a lot of space while working, and you don't have your entire monitor full of windows. -

Do Studioware Panels still work with new Sonar? I thought it is out of time now... I had this stuff going 10 years ago -

Hi and Hello, I know this issue doesn't interest anyone 🥲 but I don't understand why sometimes I get one display type (1.) in the clip editor window and another (2.) at other times. (1.) isn't very convenient, because you always have to look at the flyout window to find out the information that's already shown in (2.). Type (2.) shows detailed VST-Parameter Infos, while Type (1.) shows the same Info in all Envelopes. If I move (1.) from one MIDI track to another (using the Synthrack), (1.) changes to (2.), but not back. Saving the whole project and new start, it may vary and you'll have (1.) showing like (2.) 25 years ago, when I first started using Cakewalk, I never noticed such things... and if I did, I just assumed I'd done something wrong.

Yes, but I find the display a bit too small, and sometimes it takes patience to find the right lucky number with the arrows 😁. If you don't have good eyeglasses, tough luck, the numbers are that small. Unless you enter 12 with the keyboard (and don't forget the minus sign, otherwise...). The transpose window would offer enough space for a preset octave, like 1 octave+ or one octave -. It's too much fiddling around for me. With the Touch Portal "Shortcut Manager," it's just a fingertip... (faster isn't possible) Don't need a PC keyboard for my shortcuts anymore.

This "Transpose" window dates back to prehistoric times when dinosaurs used DAWs... 🧐 -

This is typical of the behavior of Sonar Remote Control: All EG1 functions of the Z3TA+2 are triggered by one hardware controller of my MIDI Controller, even though everything is muted and no echo is enabled (--> see Track Manager). This means that you could (by Sonar Remote Control) assign CC 110 on Chn-11 as often as you like (to hundreds of envelopes). It's obvious that this can lead to confusing overlaps. Unfortunately (as far as I know) there is no info window that provides information about assigned CCs inside of Sonar... This may be justified from a programming perspective. I don't mean to criticize, just outline the situation as it is... I love Sonar DAW 💫 alles hört auf mein Kommando.mp4

But there's always a bitter aftertaste with hardware controllers: you can't name the controls arbitrarily. So, if you want to trigger 50 parameters of a soft synth, you have a problem because it's very difficult to remember the assignments. Then you need pen and paper – a kind of roadmap. I think that's been the big problem with MIDI controllers for many years. "Virtual" hardware controllers are excellently labeled (as in my case with Touch Portal). With Touch Portal (MIDI plugin), you can also build 100 (or more) layers to completely control an entire soft synth. As long as switches, knobs, and sliders can't be easily and modifiably named, I don't think Remote CTRL will ever be a resounding success. Blue Cat's "Remote Control" plugin can also do a great job. A great virtual MIDI controller... Just as an exemple of my Touch Portal (MIDI Plugin) Z3TA+ Synth Matrix:

Hm, correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't even found a picture of the Remote CTRL window in the Sonar manual... And by the way, can someone help me with the NRPN? I thought the NRPN consists of four parts: MSB 99 (coarse), LSB 98 (coarse), MSB 6 (fine), and LSB 38 (fine), but the Remote Control window only has one entry field?
