I've been downloading directly since my new PC thought UVI Portal was dodgy - I'm sure it isn't but decided to play safe!

Scottish folk rock band Runrig. The golden voiced Donnie Munro left to be a (sadly unsuccessful) Labour politician - though their ex keyboard player had more success in the SNP. I didn't think anyone could replace Donnie and, although it took a while for me to get used to his voice, I reckon Canadian Bruce Guthro did an amazing job. The band have recently retired after well over 40 years of existence.

The download seemed extremely slow but I'm looking forward to seeing what they have added. It was particularly frustrating as I had only just installed Synstations to my new PC a few days ago!

Only for Loopcloud subscribers apparently? Edit - ah no seems to work for anyone!

Progress has been made! The Apro is talking to the PC - transport and keys working. Rotaries and sliders doing something but need to look at mapping when I'm more lucid! Apro Control Surface PlugIn now showing up. The secret seemed to be to allow both Apro1 and Apro2 to be enabled on input (though this didn't work the first time I tried it!). Maybe a few restarts helped! The Cakewalk documentation is a little confusing as it tells you to enable Apro2 as an out and that is not an option - only Apro is showing. I'm sure they could have made it easier! Thanks again for the help!

@michheld - thanks for those links - I will have a look through to see if I can find anything @rsinger Yes it is there as an option in Preferences. I did enable A-Pro 1 when A-Pro 2 didn't work and initially got midi in from the keys but nothing from the transport. As well as the Control Surface Programme for Sonar this is at the Roland site and I am wondering if I need to install it - I don't recall having to previously https://www.roland.com/uk/support/by_product/a-800pro/updates_drivers/ecee5a7c-7391-435d-839b-5511031afcaa/ I will continue my investigation. Thanks for the help so far

I just knew this would be fun from previous experience with old PC I have connected the APro 800 over USB. Set the midi controller inputs and outputs as detailed in the manual. Midi on the track set as Omni. No midi coming into Cakewalk from the controller keys and transport buttons do nothing. I also installed the APro Controller Surface Plug In software from this page but other than an uninstall file there doesn't seem to be any sign of it https://www.roland.com/uk/support/by_product/a-800pro/updates_drivers/81c44b5d-6d6d-4f89-9eeb-4ce56e848573/ Any suggestions please? Thanks in advance

Happy birthday Larry!

Also available as a Decent Sampler download ?

Well said PC! Happy Christmas to you and all fellow forum members!

Their site seems to be down at the moment - unless it is just me - getting a 504 error

Thought I'd try one of the guitar packs this year. Latin Vibes 2 sounded quite inspirational - we'll see!

I was just wondering that very thing. Thanks!

Thanks - yes it's an old post but only one I could find referencing the issue. I'll try downloading Portal again and see whether MWB and Norton flag it up again. A bit worrying that both picked it up

Very sad news indeed RIP

Thanks Brian. I had UVI portal & Workstation installed on my old PC and don't recall any issues when I downloaded them. I'll have another look today. Maybe there's an alternative download path to download from

Installing all the software managers on my new PC and got a worrying report from Malwarebytes as in title (also came up as an issue in the trial version of Norton I have installed. Has anyone else had the same problem? Only reference to it I have found is the link below Seems to be a long term issue but perhaps nothing to worry about? https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/259296-uvi-portal-going-out-to-trojan-website-blocked/

Welcome back!

That really caused a lol moment! We need a price list - Larry is not for sale ? The rest of us are expendable ?

That bit I said about us being friends here...... Let's give the OP a chance and hopefully we can help them through. Though I totally agree a look at the manual is a necessary first step ?

In the context of my earlier post should that be 'Please RTFM' ?

I don't wish to be harsh but you do need to understand the difference between VST audio effects and VST virtual instruments. I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination but I have had no problems with Kontakt. Try a less antagonistic approach and I'm sure you will find people willing to talk you through it. We are all friends here and using derogatory terms is not appropriate. As mentioned above have a look at the user manuals for Kontakt.

I know I know ? Never had that problem with Waves before so thought it may be something at their end - I'll remember not to post until I've rebooted next time. ? Just been going through all the different software licensing / deactivation / activation stuff - this is why I have put off upgrading for so long!

I should have known to turn it off and back on again! All working ok now - as you were! Apologies for time wasting!

Thanks - No nothing in the way and not had a problem previously. Maybe a Windows blip. I'll try again later asa restart may solve the issue :⁠-⁠)
