They're certainly on a roll and I like the fact that you can now authorise to a PC iLok rather than a dongle as that had put me off until now. Only free one I haven't downloaded yet is the piano as I don't know if it will be worth taking up disc space when I have several pianos in IK Total Max 2 and also the Freddy Mercury piano

Also dongle free now. The dongle had put me off previously

Ah I had that problem once and it was indeed an external hard drive disconnecting & reconnecting without any notification. Moved everything of value off it just in case and replaced with an external SSD. Of course it stopped doing it as soon as soon as I paid for the new drive!

Firewall has asked me if I want to install the VSL Midi driver - I hope I did the right thing by saying yes!

Thanks - I'm just watching their video that confirms this ?

I can't keep up! ??

I've just installed the NI Ethereal Earth offered free as part of this package but it says on the website and in Native Access that it is a demo version. Also a weird way to download via a ISO disc image!

Is Big Bang Orchestra available now with onboard iLok rather than USB key? - I didn't get it previously as I would have needed a dongle. This flute looks interesting!

Thanks Jason

I thought I had that on my main PC but I don't so that's good. I'll check the old laptop. Thanks for the heads up

Ah I see - thanks - I don't have Komplete Now so that would explain it! I'll stick with V1

V1 - when the update wasn't offered in Native Access I went to the website but the download there was V1 too

Still nothing happening for me on the update so I'll check again in a few days.

Ah thanks - I'll try again!

There I was being all excited and the update wasn't there for me - must be being rolled out gradually

Exciting! ?

You can specify as many VST paths as you wish in Preferences and rescan if required to pick them up

I'm sort of glad it isn't just me but it's a shame there seems to be a serious glitch. I may try it in Reason to see if I get the same problems. Decent Sampler has-been doing the same in Cakewalk but I'm hoping that updating to the latest version of that will help.

I load a few different sounds then it crashes Cakewalk - I'll try restarting the PC to see if that cures it. Edit - Nope that didn't help - I think I'll give it a pass - some nice sounds but probably nothing I don't have elsewhere in other freebies and cheapies!

There are lots of sounds preinstalled in the preset browser when you open the instrument. When I put the serial number in initially there was a free set of White Noise samples there as well as lots of other sounds you had to pay for but then I realised the other free sounds were already in the instrument's browser!

Ignore my last comment - free stuff is coming up in the preset browser - I thought I had to dl it separately ?

All I'm getting for free is the White Noise Samples - am I missing something?

Just downloading this now - seems a very slow download especially as I've just upgraded my broadband - must be at their end I assume.

It's an open and shut case!

Happy birthday and thanks to everyone who is keeping Cakewalk alive and making it better all the time - as well as the Bandlab Cakewalk team that includes the people on this forum who contribute to its development by testing the Early Access Versions - your work is appreciated!
