Instrument and MIDI tracks routed to drum maps populate the Drum Grid View. Without a drum map these tracks show up in the PRV.

May be easier with a new project create a new project, add Ivory2 using an instrument track then copy and paste the MIDI data from the old project into the new project instrument track.

While routing track 3 to the same synth as instrument track 4 uses works, it may be clearer, for now, to drag the MIDI data into the instrument track. As noted above, a MIDI track is not necessary when using an instrument track. The instrument track can handle all communication with the synth. If the event filter MFX plug-ins are doing something, they may be placed in the instrument track MIDI FX rack. The MIDI FX rack is located on the MIDI tab in the inspector for track 4. Once the data and plug-ins are moved, delete track 3. If you prefer having two tracks, one for MIDI and one for audio - after moving the data and plug-ins to track 4, right-click the track header near the track number and icons and select "Split Instrument Track" Might want to archive tracks 1 and 2 for now.

I don't know anything about Virus hardware or software. The interface buffer size setting in Cakewalk is in Preferences > Audio > Driver Settings

There is only one group that can help I gave you the link on the 25th

It might help to see an image of the track headers. Especially the routing details. There are two basic track types in Cakewalk - audio and MIDI tracks. An instrument track is a hybrid of one audio track and one MIDI track. A separate MIDI track is not necessary if the synth is configured to use an instrument track.

Too small a buffer can cause dropouts or audible clicks and pops.

The drop is indicating a Workspace is active and the workspace affects the controls displayed in the track headers. When there is no active workspace, the drop down shows the current Track Control setting. The Workspace menu is in the extreme upper right. It can controls the available views. It displays the name of the active workspace or when set to None the drop down shows "Workspaces"

If playback is OK in the DAW, the problem may lie in the software use for playing the exported file. One way to test this is import the file into a new project and play the clip. If the levels are OK, it is the playback software. If the levels are bad i the DAW, then the levels need to be changed in the project. The gain on the audio tab in the inspector for an instrument track affects record clips only. It does not affect synth playback There is a cancel button to the right of the progress bar (B in the image below) in the transport module when exporting. If exporting a single track, it likely won't get the cancel request until after the track is rendered.

Yes, move the slider to the left (Fast) if the machine and interface can tolerate a smaller buffer.

Take lane setup is per-project. The settings are in Preferences > Project > Record Create a custom project template to use new per-project preference settings in future projects.

Does not look like v1.7.0 which is VST3 only. The menu should look like this Maybe you have loaded an old VST2. Regardless "About Surge" should tell you which version is running.

The menu in the bottom right of the UI

Selection duration is displayed in the large Export Module.

It is your machine. Configure it as you see fit. The plug-in is not part of Cakewalk.

That looks like a SynthEdit error. The faster you can replace 32bit SynthEdit plug-ins the better. This is probably a permissions problem. Either run Cakewalk as administrator and/or move the plug-ins to a place that does not require administrator privileges to write to disk. Some SynthEdit plug-ins just need to run as administrator one time to write out all the modules to disk. Others constantly write to disk.

Glad it worked for you. You may want to add back at least C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 to the scan path in preferences. This is the recommended 64bit VST3 path and many installers do no deviate from the VST3 specification. VST2 plug-ins may be installed anywhere EXCEPT in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

Looks like the documentation is a little old. SONAR 8 was released in 2008.

The 64bit path that corresponds to the path in the scan path is c:\program files\access music but as mentioned above the 64bit software could be installed in the x86 folder Usually installers provide information about where they will install files. Maybe uninstall and re-install carefully paying attention to the install screens.

Search for the 64bit plug-in (if there is one) on the PC Contact Virus support Wait for someone who has the same gear to reply on this forum Find another forum for Virus users

That scan path entry typically is used for 32bit software but 64bit software could be installed there too.

Plug-in lists in the DAW not the plug-in manager. There is no indication in the plug-in manager other than possibly the path. Click on the plug-in in the plug-in manager to see the path.

The clue is the standard VST header is not above the plug-in, instead it has a BitBridge header. 32bit plug-ins have (32-bit) appended to their name in the plug-in lists. The plug-in manager will show the path to the 32bit plug-in in the file name entry at the bottom of the plug-in manager window.

The pictures shows a 32bit plug-in. The Virus site has a 64bit installer.May want to try the 64bit version.

There are two things users can change that contribute to the delay from pressing a key on the controller and hearing the result. audio driver buffer size plug-in delay compensation A 256 sample buffer size is at the upper limit for real time monitoring through the DAW. To see if plug-ins are contributing to the delay click the FX button in the Mix Module to bypass all effects. While reading these sections in the help take a look at the PDC button too. To avoid PDC do not use plug-ins that need a look ahead buffer while tracking. Generally these plug-ins are intended for mastering and include dynamics processors, linear phase EQs and impulse response reverbs. Another way to work around large amounts of PDC is temporarily bounce all the tracks, archive everything except the temporary track and the track being recorded.
