So far all I see is an application error for MFWAKeys.exe which created a series of app crashes and dump files. It's for MOTU Firewire Audio Pedal which isn't used as I have no firewire. I've disabled the file but have doubts it's to blame.

That just simply is not fair! Must be a bug as the tiny octave picker only shows 3 octaves - so which 3 are displayed? Maybe a line in the Initialization file could be added to set displayed octaves??

Aaaaand we're back... to sq1. This time I noticed the system froze briefly a couple of times then went back to working. Then after another freeze up, the dreaded warning returned today. Is there a way to log Windows events to show what's happening to cause the warning?

I've never seen the clip icons disappear, even with Maximize Waveform selected.

The notes disappear? That's not good. Most DAWs do the same. FWIW, Separate clips on one track can be set to open different editing views.

FWIW, the VKB has always had display issues depending on monitor setup. But 5 octaves???

If nothing else it marks the end of the clip which is handy when looking for unbounced clips in a track.

Just install everything you want to use - all SONARs can exist side by side - but do it in order as older stuff can mess with newer installs. Also, you don't have to install every SONAR version fully, just the plugins.

I've never encountered an issue exporting from X1 or any SONAR version. Dithering and/or Radius Pitch Coherence (default is 50%) can play a factor in bouncing and export. Maybe uploading an audio sample of the "dreadful sound" can help determine the cause.

Or as I always say: More than one way to skin . . . (never mind).

Interesting it's the only view not included in the View menu.

Don't know how it broke. Don't know how it got fixed. Just glad it's working now.

Or rename it for legacy users - like: Legacy Cakewalk; Leftover Cake; Leave The Cake Out In The Rain; Let 'Em Eat Cake, . . . or somesuch.

Both Win7 & WIn11 work without incident. After more un/re-installs and running the sound troubleshooter in Win10, it seems to be working without incident also. Been running a project for a few hours and so far no disconnect warnings. Thank you all for your tips.

Cakewalk Sonar forum above.

The only change on this system is Windows 10 updates. My Win 7 & WIn11 laptops are all on original OS's.

This is the 1st time it reports them blank tho. Fortunately I can enter my own names but I have no idea which one is which w/o some trial & error. Nice. One more thing to look at.

Mine isn't. Still the same issues. Trying the un/re-install one more time. I've crossed posted in the MOTU forum but doubtful it'll ever get resolved. Could be a Windows 10 thing. Yeah it's deprecated but I signed up for extended support. . . whatever that means. I'll be checking it on a Win7 and Win11 system to narrow it down. Otherwise it's bound to be repurposed as an overpriced hockey puck.

Seems I got the wrong drivers from the wrong page. Trying the right ones now but something still weird. Cakewalk sees the right IN/OUT names but in Windows settings the different INs/OUTs have no names. . . just blank.

Thanks. I realized that from the video. It's doable tho I was hoping for more of a reassignment of the pads so the sounds would be listed when you right-click them. Once you load a new sound all the others go away. Can't have everything I guess.

Found chucke's video.

Each of the 4 pads are tied to a set group of instruments. Is there an assignment file or way to edit the sets so a sound from one pad can be reassigned to another pad?

A question might be "How are you importing it?" Show us the dialog window as you have it set up if that's the way you're doing it. Then again, if you drag the file into the project you might bypass all that other stuff??

In Cakewalk . . . FXP files are plugin presets. I have 848 on my system. FXB files are preset banks. I have 22 on my system. They are loaded and saved using the VST button in a VST's header. reference manual pg. 954

But they only show up when a docked view is open. They disappear when Track View is on. Would be nice if they were permanently present on the MD strip when it contains views.
