Rapture LE was a dxi. It came with Sonar 7, I think.

Ah, I'll be that was it. I'm going to reinstall v2.5 now. Thanks! Edit: Just reinstalled with VST2 and all is well now. Thanks again!

Yipes - that's probably in the documentation. Shame on me for not looking. Thanks!

I've been using Addictive Drums since it became available with old Sonar. My standard new project template includes an Addictive Drums synth track and associated MIDI track, which outputs to a Drum Map that someone on the old forum kindly made available years ago. I recently updated AD 2 to AD 2.5. The installation wiped out old AD 2. As a result, all of my previous projects get a missing plugin placeholder for AD 2. I've used "Replace Synth" to replace it with AD 2.5. However, the drum map used as the AD 2 MIDI track's output has as an "Out Port" whatever the first plugin in the file is after AD 2. For example, I'm looking at a project right now where the drum map's Out Port is Reaktor 6 instead of AD 2.5 (which replaced the missing AD 2 plugin). The "Ports and Channels" section in Drum Map Manager does not appear to be editable, and the only way I have found to edit the Out Port in the main section is one note at a time - selecting multiple notes at a time doesn't appear to allow them to be editable, at least as far as the Out Port is concerned. I have an awful lot of projects affected by this. Any better way to change the Out Port back to Addictive Drums than one note at a time would be really helpful. Suggestions?

Same here

I used to go for months without having to log in. Is this new? Intended?

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to assume that the sysx data had nothing to do with the behavior of the plugin with the MIDI track and that it was just an anomaly.

I've been using a Nektar LX49+ keyboard with Sonar/Cakewalk/Sonar for many years. I use it almost exclusively as a keyboard, not as a control surface. Just recently, I am seeing sysx data when I view the Event List in every MIDI file. Files older than the past few months don't have any sysx data. What's going on?? I discovered it when I encountered a situation where Arturia's Synthx V plugin was silent for many presets. If I export the recorded MIDI track and then re-import it, Synthx V plays fine. Not sure what the sysx data has to do with it, but even deleting the sysx events didn't make those presets work - only exporting and then importing. Is there something that got accidentally turned on in Preferences that I should turn off to avoid this?

I just tried loading Sytrus and opening the UI and it works fine for me. So I don't think it's a global problem with Sytrus.

Thanks for the explanation.

Yes, it's fixed. Thanks!

What would be the advantage of lowering the buffer size rather than just leaving it at 500 msec?

That's it. Was looking in the wrong place. Thanks!

Well, I used to know how to do this. If I want to, say, hide "channel" or "bank" in a MIDI track, how do I do it? thanks.

Ah, I never knew about that. There's always something to learn, even after using Cakewalk / Sonar for more than 20 years. Thanks.
