What Happened To Synth Controls Graphic?

[sjoens]

Sonar X3: Knob "rosette" conforms to knob shape 

SPlat & CbB: Knob "rosette" elongated

Hi sjoens,

Seems Ben (or someone at Cakewalk) changed the graphic.  For what reason I can only guess.  Which design do you prefer?  I am sure it can be changed in the Theme Editor.

Kind regards,

tecknot

P.S. disregard if my response is just stupid irrelevant.

Yeah, it was changed, and No, it can't be edited... I like the original.

I'm out; I have no idea how to even make those knobs show up.

Synth Rack has to be floating or in Multidock, then hit the far right (blue) button.

They're hidden while docked in the Browser.

Would be nice if they weren't as new users probably have no clue they exist.

Lots of old users had no idea they existed (raises hand).

YUP!!!!  Long time user (since MS-DOS, but I had limited use of TTS/SONAR/Cakewalk during the years I was sequencing mainly via hardware sequencers built into ROMplers/Samplers/etc.).  I learned about the expanded Synth Rack features here in 2020:

Astralos raised some issues with the expanded synth rack.  I posted the link in case others want to read about them. Its a relatively short thread; didn't catch much attention.

Never really used it but have known it was there since Sonar 8.

Looks like it was introduced in Sonar 6 and Craig wrote an article in 2007.
