sjoens Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 dxshell works great but has some odd side effects. I put it in the TTS-1 folder so VSTHost will see and load it. Since it's in the TTS-1 folder, Cakewalk/Sonar lists it twice: Does the same for Dimension LE dxi and Roland Groove Synth, only the dxshell versions load in Cakewalk with a blank GUI and no sound. VSTHost gives me a mile long list of other "dxshell.dll" with no clue what plugins they are. Not sure how it finds it's way outside the TTS-1 folder but all hosts seem to let it go wild.

BlueARP is a good one. Variorum, I really appreciate your plugins. I think they include all the MFX features that Cakewalk has needed and that I’ve always wished for. Thank you so much for that. However, there isn’t an arpeggiator plugin on the market that can directly convert a clip into an arpeggiator like Z3ta+ does. Unfortunately, with that one, the arpeggio we generate can’t be converted into real notes we hear using the ‘bounce to clip’ method for use in another plugin. Would you consider revisiting that arpeggiator plugin you left unfinished? It doesn’t need to be anything complex—just a simple MFX arpeggiator plugin that converts a MIDI clip into an arpeggio via drag-and-drop would be more than enough. Edited October 4 by murat k.

Max Arwood Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 (edited) Melodyne can very accurately convert audio to midi. You could look into that. Once converted it is easy to loop sections. Edit added: Melodyne has an EQ like scaler EQ built into it Melodyne can do compression Melody can do DeEssing Melodyne can do artifact noise reduction Melodyne can do mouth click noise reduction Convert a sung melody to midi Convert drum tracks to midi And I don’t even know 1/2 of what it can do lol Edited October 4 by Max Arwood Added info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tparker24 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 I really enjoy using CSTranspose. However, I've run into a little issue. When I Audition a note (i.e. click on it) in PRV (Piano Roll View) it doesn't seem to transpose. It does play fine with a regular play (but just not with audition). I notice the same behavior with the regular Cakewalk Transpose MFX. I'm wondering if this is a known limitation of CSTranspose. I'm running version 3.0.0.1 7/22/24 415 KB. Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Tom, Yeah, Midi from an external keyboard (or the virtual keyboard) or played from the track is routed through MidiFX, but when you click on notes in the PRV, they don't go through the MidiFX... That's just how the routing works in CbB/Sonar. You're right that even the built-in MFX have this limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice the same behavior with the regular Cakewalk Transpose MFX. Thanks, Tom I don't have any experience with that MFX but if you want to transpose the playback of an entire MIDI clip you can do it in the MIDI Track Inspector at the bottom where it says Key +. The transposition works when playing and auditioning notes in the PRV. You can drag the slider in half-step increments (which can be a pain in the butt) or use the Keyboard Number Pad. If you click and hold the mouse cursor in the Key + box and press the numbers on the left side of the number pad (1,4,7) it will lower the pitch of the playback in half-step increments. If you click and hold the mouse cursor in the Key + box and press the numbers on the right side of the number pad (3,6,9) it will raise the sound of the track's playback in half-step increments. Clicking and holding the mouse cursor in the Key + box and double-pressing 5 will reset the pitch to 0 (no change in pitch). It's a lot easier and simpler that I'm making it sound.

tparker24 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 @Chaps thanks for the info. Yes, I'm very aware of Key+. It does work very well, including with Audition in PRV. The big advantage of CSTranspose is that it allows "grouping" of tracks, so that you can then easily do a Global transpose. So for me, it's a trade-off between it working in PRV, and working globally. I think that working in PRV is more important. So, I will probably be switching back to using Key+ rather than CSTranspose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted Monday at 02:33 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:33 AM Would be cool if your FX could be automated. At least Enable/Disable. Even Cake's MIDI FX aren't. If they are I don't see a way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a few parameters that can be assigned and controlled by CC's. It wouldn't be too difficult to add modulation to other effects. Any one in particular?

Max Arwood Posted Monday at 06:48 AM Share Posted Monday at 06:48 AM Don’t mean to break in, but yes! Midi waver depth and speed. 🤔 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted Monday at 07:37 AM Share Posted Monday at 07:37 AM Yeah just enable/disable for most so they can be activated/deactivated during transport for spots along the track that don't need or want the effect. Not very often this is needed so not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
