Update July 29 2021:

2021.06 Update 2 (build 27.06.0.057)

"Modern Standby" support and improved Power Management

• Added support for "Modern Standby" a new power management feature introduced in Windows 10 build 2004.
• Modern Standby mode is supported by some PC's (typically modern laptops). Modern standby is different from the traditional sleep modes and has to be specially handled by the application in order to suspend and resume hardware properly.
• Improved handling for resuming from a sleep state in Windows. Cakewalk will additionally reload the driver if necessary, if the driver requests a restart or it stops responding.
• Suspend and resume are properly handled when a dialog box is open.

Handle VST instruments that change output counts

If a VST instrument changes its output count, ports in projects previously saved with the instrument could become offset by the change in outputs. This could cause projects to stop playing through other virtual instruments until their instrument track inputs were reassigned.

Cakewalk will now detect change in outputs on opening a project and  automatically reassign ports appropriately with no user intervention required.

Bug fixes

• Fixed crash when exporting single track with "-" in track name and filename
• Intermittent crash when adding new articulation trigger event
• Wedge Force Matcha plug-in hangs on changing presets in 2021.06 release
• Projects saved with older version of Omnisphere open with input ports assigned to incorrect instruments
• SPACEBAR does not start playback when using Vienna Ensemble Pro in host mode
• SHIFT+right-click toggle for Inline Piano Roll causes unexpected lasso selection
• Regression: New projects from templates are flagged as dirty in version 2021.06
• Extra Synth Instances inserted when adding all synth audio outputs for Split Instrument Track
• Alt+T shortcut in Track view View menu cut off slightly
• Arranger sections are not focused immediately after a drag/draw operation (F2 to rename fails)
• Nudging a fully selected MIDI clip nudges notes, not the whole clip
