Likely the Workspace is overriding the control bar settings.

Either create a custom workspace or set it to None.

FWIW, in the Correction row on the plug-in UI  are two radio buttons, one is "SNAP TO MIDI INPUT"

Just downloaded the 64bit VST from https://www.gvst.co.uk/gsnap.htm?pageview=selectos

Looks like it supports MIDI input to me.

Any FX plug-in that supports MIDI input has the option to "Enable MIDI Input" in its VST2/3 drop down in the standard header like this

After selecting "Enable MIDI Input", the plug-in will appear in the output drop down in all MIDI tracks.

Create a MIDI track set the output to the plug-in. 

They are in the new release announcements like this one for 2021.01 

Deselect all the MIDI output devices in preferences

May be an install problem.

I just tested and it worked fine in CbB.

I have X2a/3e Producer, SONAR Platinum and CbB installed using all defaults.

If you removed the version of SONAR which included the BT bundle it may have messed up the license.

It may be possible to re-install to recover without performing a clean install but make sure to install CbB last to insure the shared folders are up to date.

WRT Don't Crack and the bundled BT plug-ins the email they sent out is memorialized in this thread http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3699781

Thanks for contacting us and detailing your concern for Cakewalk and Blue Tubes plug-ins provided with purchase and integrated into the DAW.

Our team have been made aware of the closure of the Sonar brand and the many requests around the web and through forums of those wishing to upgrade to the full versions, for use in other DAW, should they wish to switch...

Currently our Nomad Factory products are available through end of year at up-to 80% off, so now is your best time to get low prices on stock before the turn of 2018.  See our dealers list here.

But that said, you may of course still utilize your plug-ins in the DAW as is, they will still work as your DAW too, for many years to come!

If you would like to upgrade, we are happy to offer a path to the Blue Tubes v3 Bundle at further discount (only $49, instead of current $79 and list "$399") on view of your Sonar purchase receipt, which you may attach in reply here.  We will then provide a one time, one use coupon for discount purchase via our dealer DontCrack.com.

The Nomad Factory team.

Best regards,

Don't Crack routinely puts the Nomad plug-ins on sale.

There has been at least one important update since the BT bundle was added to SONAR.

Try changing the MIDI driver mode

With the recent updates to CbB, I rarely run BA.

Often it is when someone posts on the forum.

Just ran it and got the prompt to update.

Updated to v7.0.0 OK.

Assuming the preferences shown are those for the project and not the current ones. The project date modified is 3/20/2010.

Bad assumption.

The only items in preferences stored in the project are listed under Preferences > Project.

The rest of the preferences are the current global settings.

The project modified date does not mean much WRT audio clip data as they are stored separately from the project file.

The clip depth shown in the image is the result of either recording or rendering at 32bit.

Audio Driver Bit Depth has nothing to do with Record or Render Bit Depth

Driver bit depth is what the driver will send to the DAW.

Record bit depth is what the DAW  will use for recording.

Render bit depth is what the DAW will use for bounce, freeze and export.

Note all of these effect how the DAW will operate in the future. They have no effect on existing data.

Most ASIO drivers work a one bit depth. This is why the setting is disabled in the video above.

It's called Ripple Edit

SHIFT+left/right arrow

While waiting you could extend the CAL script to do randomize velocity and note lengths.

There is a  randomize function in Velocity MFX and Quantize MFX bundled with CbB.

There is also a user created MFX for humanize

Frank's MIDI plug-ins also include a humanize MFX

As a rule a plug-in's UI is usually designed for audition purposes.

In some cases, they generate MIDI data but the plug-ins are after the track's input.

In all cases they generate audio which may be recorded as it occurs before the audio track (assuming the use of an audio+MIDI pair of tracks and not an instrument track).

Either way using the plug-in UI is an awkward way to record.

The virtual keyboard provided with the DAW, step recording or one of the editors are better choices.

Ultimately, a real keyboard controller or other input device are the best long term solutions.

There are some lengthy threads on this subject already on the forum like this one

The DAW and nothing bundled with the DAW require running as administrator.

Some XP era plug-ins need access to protected parts of the registry.

Some 3rd party plug-ins try to write to their plug-in folder.

Often rather than address the cause of these issues some users elect to run the DAW as administrator.

Missing drag and drop from the OS is often the result of running the DAW as administrator.

Windows does not allow drag and drop into programs with elevated rights.

v2.0.7 added a couple of extra checks to prevent cw130auto.dll from getting out of sync with CbB. 

Note: v2.0.6 and 2.0.7 are Launchpad specific. These changes do not affect the other tools.

Putting synths in an audio FX rack should be avoided unless the synth is designed to work on an audio stream such as a vocoder.

Only MFX plug-ins are permitted in MIDI FX racks.

Instead synths should be added using one of the insert synth options or dragging the plug-in from the plug-in browser and dropping in the empty space below the tracks.

Here is some info on using the Add Tracks menu http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Arranging.14.html

It includes a section on adding instruments.

v2.0.6 fixes a cw130auto.dll copy bug in Launchpad

5db is an unusual value

start simple

freeze just the synth by itself make sure the instrument track interleave is set to stereo

When running in ASIO mode to change devices in Cakewalk preferences both input and output devices must be deselected before a new selection is possible.

Thanks again for the input

v2.0.5 released

Tools Editor CmdArgs now available for Generic type only

Table heading font size issue fixed

VST Inventory filter on empty value now possible with filter string set to nul, "" or ''

Fix bug on VST Inventory table refresh when escaping from filter
