Arabic Dude Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Cakewalk needs a Humanize feature in the PRV!! I tried the CAL script but its very limiting as it only allows offsetting. No options to randomize velocity and note lengths. Also, there should be an option to color notes differently within the same track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 While waiting you could extend the CAL script to do randomize velocity and note lengths. There is a randomize function in Velocity MFX and Quantize MFX bundled with CbB. There is also a user created MFX for humanize Frank's MIDI plug-ins also include a humanize MFX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will. Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) But don't you do this with the velocity bars? Edited March 23, 2021 by Will_Kaydo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into tick mode and shift your timing slight out of time - this i do. Edited March 23, 2021 by Will_Kaydo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promidi Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I have written a Studioware panel with sliders to slightly randomly change all of these values of selected notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msmcleod Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Studioware panels were deprecated back when SONAR 1 came out - that's SONAR 1.0 - not SONAR X1 !! The last version to officially support Studioware panels was Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 (released in 2000). The Studioware panel editor was removed in Sonar 1, so you need CWPA 9 to create/edit them.

As long as CbB opens them (please never remove this ability), I am still going to use them. They speed up my MIDI sequencing 10 fold. (and yes, I do use CPA9 to create them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Morgon-Shaw Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 So is there no Humanise function baked into Cakewalk ? Surely it can't be too difficult - I've never got on well with the CAL script I have tried either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scook mentioned (and linked to) the included MIDI plugins you insert on MIDI tracks, they work well. Velocity is good to inject more life to hihat and percussive patterns and Quantize can also do randomness, and it's also one of the many ways to apply swing in Cakewalk. But I agree it would be a quicker workflow to implement some humanization features directly into the PRV and/or Inspector for MIDI tracks. It would be especially nice to just have a slider for Swing. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I recently made a similar request myself, of building-in the chord analyzer that already exists as a MIDI plugin. But thanks to your helpful fellow forum members, light has been shed on other tools (other than the CAL scripts that the OP mentioned) that can provide workarounds and that are indeed available out of the box. ?
