It's always worked great as a basic MIDI controller but as a DAW controller not so much.  After my last reinstall of the entire system a lot of the issues disappeared.  But today it's randomly failing to control any DAW functions without closing and reopening  CbB.  And the strange status field hieroglyphics are back except when it displayed Cakewalk TTS-1 that's not even in the project.  X1-X3 leave the status field blank.

Yes, the Control Surface Status field hieroglyphics seem to be a never-ending issue. I think I’ve mentioned the problem when using the Nektar Impact Control Surface on multiple occasions, but I’ve never got any reaction. There’s probably a null character missing or ignored somewhere, either located in the DLL or in the Cakewalk code.

Today it looks like this on my computer; from left to right: Sonar, CbB, and SONAR Platinum:

Nice, and it’s always good to know when the Control Surface Status is "0□,0¨↑+□□□□,©0□□+□□□□7<□□□”, but I really don’t know what to do with that information. And every time it's different.

The good thing is that it doesn’t have any impact (no pun intended) on the functionality. And, for sure, it does add a bit of crunch and character to the Control Bar.

Just curious--what do these look like?  (not a problem I've run into yet)

EDIT: Nevermind, as I was typing it up (distracted in the middly by JellyBean wanting to play), the screenshot above got posted. :oops:

Exactly. So far it's 2 for 2 then.  Cakewalk either displays the word Enabled, one of the synths, or nothing at all.  So either Cakewalk is confused what should be there or there's a communication disconnect at this level.

I have Ultra Analog and 5 instances of Arturia CZ V in this project.  TTS1 is not in this project yet pressing the Inst button brings it up.  Where and how is it doing this??  Curious if there's a file somewhere I can edit to fix it.
