OutrageProductions

I ecstatically second the above suggestions!!!

@jonathan-sasor sent an idea to me this AM that I haven't implemented yet as my island lost power this morning and I'm typing this on my phone. Check in Preferences/MIDI/Playback & Recording for <Notes> and <Controllers> I know, it seems non-logical, but... It may be possible that the 2020.11 update hashed my preferences in the registry. I haven't had a chance to look yet, but when the lights come back on in the studio, I will.

Yes, in 2020.09 I finally got that to work (cold boot required) and some patience as the VSTi sample pool was large and no longer stashed in the paging file.

Yes, and Yes (I've been using Cakewalk DAW's since ProAudio2 (1994ish) so I'm pretty sure I have the basics down pat. Thanks! Worked fine in 2020.09 two days ago. (EDIT... did NOT mean to have that sound snarky!)

Help, something broke! Updated to 2020.11 last night and I now have no input from my Komplete Kontrol S61mk1 master keyboard controller (running V2.5.0 SW for KK). Checked operation of VSTi's in standalone configuration (Kontakt, FM8, Absynth, Komplete Kontrol wrapper, etc.) and they all work fine. Open CbB, check preferences; Midi devices all appear and are checked. Open simple session (Midi tracks only driving TTS-1), check input/output routing, no Midi note response from my keyboard. CbB virtual controllers (keyboard emulator & Querty keyboard) work fine. Device manager shows all hardware is OK. (EDIT1) Also: Midi data on a track driving a Komplete Kontrol wrapped VSTi shows activity on the keyboard light guide, and does play any audio from the VSTI. (EDIT2) installed MIDI-OX monitor to see if KK61 is sending to CPU. Indicates both note on/off and controller information is being received by computer. (EDIT3) Midi Input/Output activity badge on taskbar shows output constantly. Is it possible that CbB is continuously sending a note off condition? (EDIT4) Removed and reinstalled Komplete Kontrol driver set v4.2.0. Rename TTSSEQ.ini, reboot, restart CbB; no change. My M-Audio ProjectMix I/0 is passing audio and still operates as machine control in Mackie emulation. Win10 Pro 2004, Core i9-9900k, 32Gb Ram Anyone know what else I can do to get this fixed?

It wasn't that far back (March release?) when CbB would still recognize a new midi controller or keyboard if it was powered on AFTER CbB was running, ask if you wanted to add it as a MIDI Device and then open the Preferences dialog. That no longer happens, and it's pissing me off occasionally. I have no issue with having to remember to power all my controllers FIRST (KK61 keyboard, Maschine, etc.) but it would have been nice if the coders had noted that this function was no longer available.

re: Promidi "I do, and for all of the ones I use, I deselect the option "Keyboard Shortcuts" under "load from Workspace" in Workspace Manager." Thanks, I'll try that. Seems that the 1800+ page PDF manual (that was fairly well done BTW, IMHO) doesn't contain that info, or at least that I could find using a multitude of search parameters. I've been with CW since ProAudio 2.0 [1992-94?] (even tho I was forced to use ProTools in my professional studio for 18 years), and this product just keeps improving! But with increased complexity, flexibility, and feeble mind, things get lost from time to time.

I've noticed that ever since the 2020-5 (May) update, that I have to re-import my preference default Keyboard Binding Set file into the preferences EVERY TIME that I start CbB. This is really annoying, as I have deeply customized my bindings, and having to reload them every time is a PITA. Why did you break this preference, and WHEN are you going to fix it?
