12 years I think... when X1 came out. I'm still not sure what the trouble is but you shouldn't need to lock a screenset to keep things from disappearing.

Rapture Session Instrument window has 8 macro knobs, a pan knob, a volume fader and a LIMIT button that can be mapped to a controller, but there are inconsistencies between the standalone and plugin versions. 1. Standalone allows you to map controllers to the instrument knobs using MIDI learn, but when used as a plugin the mapping is already set and can't be changed. - Is that right? If so... 2. The plugin's mappings are all over the place and difficult to remember which controller knob does what. Can that be overridden or is it a bug? 3. When mapping the standalone version, none of the parameters respond to my 3rd controller "pot" (which "works" in CbB as a pan knob). edit: System reboot seems to have corrected the pot issue - As a plugin the 3rd controller knob is hard mapped to the LIMIT switch. However, in standalone the LIMIT switch is not even mappable. Is this a bug? 4. In any usage, you can't map a controller to instruments that aren't already pre-mapped. Is this only doable in Rapture Pro? edit: System reboot seems to have corrected this also. ATM anyway I can map controllers in standalone at least. Then there's times when standalone doesn't respond at all to any mappings. edit: Probably due to system glitches. Sometimes it works great, other times not at all. 5. Is there no way to save settings made in the Instrument window? Thanks.

Is this normal? In the past (CbB?/ SONAR Xx?) it showed up as soon as I set it up in Preferences without closing the program.

Copy the new folder to: C:\Cakewalk Content\Rapture Pro\Programs then hit F5 to repopulate the directory. A custom icon.png can be used for the new folder to show in the browser but it should have the same name as the folder.

I create programs in Dimension and Rapture and save them in custom folders. F5 makes them appear in those browsers. Rapture Session has a "User Imported" category but haven't figured out how to make them show there. Thanks for any help.

Probably your worst option. Another name for Inline PRV. Click the Clips button (A) and select Notes. Clip changes to a mini PRV, tho not the best for editing notes in.

Obviously PRV doesn't display individual Take Lanes. Only ways I know would be: 1. Use Track View Notes mode where Take Lanes reside and can be separated. 2. Drag each Take Lane clip to it's own track where PRV can single them out. or 3, Record takes into separate tracks to begin with On another note, how cool would it be if copied & pasted notes and clips appeared in a separate Take Lane? Would make finding and removing them so much easier.

(moved to 1st post)

Sure. But I posted here first - in response to another post - then decided to post what I found in the Feedback forum. I can delete this one if it suits you.

I don't know if Sonar exhibits the same behavior but it's clearly broken in CbB. I rewrote the OP hoping to explain better.

No. They are default colors here. I said "white" because they "look" lighter in dark themes where there's more contrast. But thanks for that because PRV muted notes color can be changed in Preferences and Theme Editor (default is e9e9e9), tho I see nothing for selected notes. Of course this means, , if there's no Theme Editor (Sonar!), they will both remain "white" (or some whiter shade of gray). I see that too but only when using the Mute tool in TV Clips mode will they also show color simultaneously in PRV. This is the only way muted PRV notes will be nonhidden on my system. As mentioned, they also cannot be unmuted in PRV. However, the opposite is not true. When a note is muted in PRV, it will not show as muted in TV Clips mode, as it should. Only when you switch to Notes mode will it show. When the Mute tool is used in PRV or TV Notes mode, notes stay hidden... whereas only an hour ago they did show color when it was used in TV Notes mode. I tested in 3 different theme/color combos. Even the Smart tool Alt+right-click worked in TV Notes mode earlier today but now doesn't. Something's definitely going on with Mute routines.

Not sure if this helps but thought of it:

I'm already half blind so both those look the same to me...

This was my last post but I think it explains things better. Muting notes and hiding muted notes are 2 different things for sure. Each one has some inconsistencies, tho. 1. Muting and unmuting notes between views works as expected in X1 so I would expect it to work in SPlat and CbB but it does not. Maybe this feature was removed or broken? 2. The CbB's outdated documentation's Alt+right-click with Smart tool to mute notes works in X1 thru SPlat's PRV & TV Notes mode but not in CbB. Was this feature changed? Yes. In CbB Shift+right-click mutes notes in PRV but not in TV Notes mode so there's no way to mute them in TV Notes mode with Smart tool. Was this feature damaged when it was changed? Is Sonar the same? 3. How does Hide Muted Clips (HMC) function work? When you select HMC from the PRV > View menu and mute an entire clip in TV with K, the PRV notes disappear and reappear when it is unselected as expected. **However, it does not work when you select the function from the TV > MIDI menu OR use the Mute tool.** Is that by design? 4. Muted MIDI notes should be a solid color (you can change the color in Preferences). They are only solid when muted with the Mute tool in TV Clips mode. When you mute a note in PRV or TV Notes mode, they disappear with a faint outline and there is no way to make them solid. Why should that be different? AFAInowCT this behavior has nothing to do with the HMC function and selecting or deselecting it either way changes nothing. Is that right? 5. Because of all this I can't find anyway to show PRV muted notes in a solid color within PRV. Switching to TV just to mute some notes... so I can still see them... is a poor work flow. Is that by design? Many more questions I have but these are the basics.

No matter how Hide muted clips is set in both views, if I mute notes in PRV (like the OP wants to do), the notes (don't disappear as I mentioned above, but rather) have a faint outline that's invisible on light colored PRV backgrounds. I only found this by changing to a darker background. This can lead one to think the notes were deleted. I see no way to make muted PRV notes turn white in PRV (thus my confusion in previous post). It's like Hide muted notes is turn on permanently there. If so, it a bug that shud be plugged. Disabling Hide muted clips in both TV and PRV only affects PRV IF I mute the clip in TV while in Clips mode - then PRV notes turn white. All muting notes in TV as per documentation while in Notes mode does is return the clip to Clips mode. The note starts to turn white but then doesn't. Enabling Hide muted clips in TV only works visually for TV when it's in Notes mode. In Clips mode it does nothing visually, so you may not realize the feature is turned on. The Mute Tool brings it's own can o' worms. There's just too many variables and a lot of old posts about it, so IMHO this function seems overly convoluted and doesn't translate well between views as it should. Muting TV "clips" is done with the K key. Would be nice if MIDI notes could be muted the same way as well as muted/unmuted between views. P.S. I hope you're ok and only suffering from fat-thumb syndrome...

Can't be done because the notes are "stacked" vertically within the same clip putting them in the same lane. You can't separate a take lane within itself. The way Outrage described is how I've done it as well. It does https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Tools.25.html#:~:text=With the Smart tool %2C hold,to mute%2Funmute multiple notes. I remember muted notes would turn white so you could tell they were muted. However, now when I mute notes this way they disappear completely so they look deleted. If you can remember where they were you can reverse the mute and they reappear, but this is hardly a good thing. Not sure why this happens or who didn't think this one out but I can't use it like this. Muting Track View clips is done with the K key. Would be nice if MIDI notes could be muted the same way.

Fooled Us!

I was thinking of a slightly different kind of grill... seemed obvious to me but then... who builds 19" fire places?

20 years without a face lift so I thought it about time. Resource folder with directions attached if you want it. As always, keep originals safe. There are some old themes on the Dimension Info site but they're all based on the original GUI. DimProSkin1-zmods.zip

This post is in Asian language so when I translated it to English, Promidi's name changed to: and mine to: However, I may never be seen again.

Double check you serial/registration numbers as Dimension was sent with different numbers each time it was offered. I have 3 different numbers. If you're trying to register the plugin within CbB/Sonar then you may need to run CbB as administrator first. If you're trying to register Dimension standalone then run Dimension as administrator 1st.

These are separate MIDI/Synth tracks. MIDI clips are full length bounced clips. Being on or off Internet has nothing to do with the crashes. They only happen IF I move the mouse toward the Taskbar while freezing is in progress, so maybe there's another process going on under the hood that's interrupting CbB. It did this for 2 days until today when it stopped crashing. I can no longer replicate the issue so there's no way to know what was going on. Don't have Sonar yet.

Toast Posties don't always update their own message progress. Quite often they hang.

Are you turning internet or Airplane Mode On/Off before or while the clips are processing?

I'm freezing 206 bar tracks so it takes a while for the freeze. If the mouse even touches the Taskbar wifi icon while it's freezing, CbB "stopped working". Edit: Oh sure, now as I'm fixing to get a screen shot of the warning, it's refusing to crash. Thanks for fixing it, Pro.
