The Pentagon problem is strictly a registry issue. The program was never modified to allow for security changes made in Vista.

All MeldaProduction plugins have been updated to 14.07. It is an important update which comes up with several improvements, new features and fixes. The update is free as always and you can install it simply by downloading and using the newest installer from our download page.

It appears the only operation that works with .midi files is File > Open. All of the import methods fail with the "Cannot fine or open file" error.

Try calling up the HUD with the shortcut "T"

Click the mouse wheel in the clip/track and change the edit filter in the HUD

If Pentagon is visible to CbB there is no need to mess with regsvr32. The plug-in is registered. This happens with all bundled DX plug-ins at install time. The typical problem with Pentagon occurs when trying to add it to a project The fix is to give Users "Full Control" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\rgc:audio Software\Dxi\Pentagon I as shown in image above There is no need to mess with anything else. Alternately running CbB as administrator works too but changing the one entry in the registry is all that is really needed. The last regsvr32 error seems to indicate the command may have been issued with no quotes around a path containing spaces. Like regsvr32 /u c:\program files\somepath\somefile.dll instead of regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\somepath\somefile.dll" Command line tools use spaces to parse input. To minimize these types of errors, I like to use regsvr32 in the folder containing the dll. But again. the usual solution to getting Pentagon working has nothing to do with regsvr32. That part is done properly at install time unless one receives the DLL/OCX error during install mentioned in the thread below.

There is an easy fix for this. It is a permissions issue. Right-click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\rgc:audio Software\Dxi\Pentagon I and give Users "Full Control" like this -

Here are a couple of alternatives to using the automation parameter menu. Using the plug-in UI - enable write automation, start the transport and manipulate the plug-in control to automate, stop the transport and clean up the unneeded notes. Using Assign Envelope - create an automation envelope for the first available parameter. It does not even have to be related to the plug-in. It could be volume or pan. Then right click on the envelope line and select Assign Envelope from the context menu. Select the plug-in and use the dialog to pick the value to automate. Even a long list of parameters is easier to scroll though in this dialog.

That is the first version with ARA2 support. It appears they do not update the site with every release since the first supported version.

Reads more like Melodyne is being loaded in the clip FX rack instead of using it as a Region FX. When using Meodyne as a Region FX the "A" in the image above points to RFX instead of FX.

Both may be unregistered using regsvr32 I am curious though, what is the problem with Pentagon I?

If you elect to use a MIDI input device (including the virtual keyboard) you need to make sure the notes being played are in the range of the instrument. A much longer thread on this subject was referenced in my reply to your original thread too.

This fallacy is so old it has a Latin name.

no

Cakewalk provides an option to "Enable MIDI Output" IF the plug-in has the feature. Many synths and most FXs do not send/generate MIDI data.

When using the same audio device for Cakewalk and Windows make sure both are set to the same sample rate and do not use WASAPI Exclusive driver mode if you want to share the device when Cakewalk is running.

When features are hidden or seem to be missing check the workspace menu. Either change to a different workspace, create your own or set it to None.

To restore the missing files, hold down the SHIFT when starting Cakewalk.

Yes, that is the spreadsheet I mentioned previously in the thread

It depends on what you want. V-Vocal is the only plug-in that is bundled with the core installer. IOW, the DAW must be installed to get the plug-in. V-Vocal was last bundled with X2 Producer. There are a few Platinum era installers that require Platinum be installed. All the other bundled plug-ins in every other version by be installed using the Advanced install option. Adding plug-ins this way does not mess with CbB. To get everything from Cakewalk and CbB installed run these steps in order (except for 3 which may be run at any time) Run a minimal install of 64bit X2 (as shown above) to get V-Vocal and apply X2a if you want the last R-Mix. Run a full install of 64bit Platinum add the EngineerFXSuiteSetup_1.0.0.13.exe if you want the last of the old LP series plug-ins. Run the XLN installer for Addictive Drums and the Melodyne installer from your Celemony account for Melodyne (these may be done any time) Install CbB Add any other plug-ins from older Cakewalk products using advanced 64bit install. Use the spreadsheet linked above (and now below) as a guide.

Thanks for posting this. Not for the modules but for triggering an idea. I am currently doing some editing in iZotope RX and recently wanted a way to chain 3rd party plug-ins in it. Considered buying the Blue Cat PatchWork but decided to wait for a sale. After reading your post, I remembered Voltage has an FX version. That and the two plug-in hosts that are bundled with it (in the full version) will probably do exactly what I need.
