Discussions / Re: Track Input not reporting on Soft Instrument Track
« Last post by norfolkmastering on October 16, 2023, 07:01:02 PM »
Hi Alexey
Thanks for the explanation.

I have a routine in my mixer PIC which allows the audio output from MIDI based soft instruments in Cakewalk to be bounced to tracks in my tape machine.

I noticed that the source for those soft instrument tracks was not being reported, which was confusing my bounce software in the PIC.

So I have modified my PIC software to get around the issue.

Today I finished my final big software update so now I can have stereo tracks in Cakewalk which map to two adjacent tracks in the mixer and in the tape machine.  This makes recording and mix down sessions a lot easier.

Previously I had to control stereo sources (e.g. stereo piano recordings) as two Cakewalk tracks, one panned left and the other panned right.  Then I had to link the two faders in Cakewalk and do all the routing to groups twice.  Same for solo and mute and FX inserts.

Now it’s really great!

I’m getting ready to do a big recording session to see how the new software works out.

None of this would be possible without AZ Controller so a big Thank You! to you.

Regards
Robert

Sibiac / Request: Boss Tone Studios for Me90
« Last post by gadeuvall2000 on October 16, 2023, 06:28:42 PM »
I own a Boss Me-90 Multi Guitar FX pedal.  I tracked through the BOss Tone Studios app and found that the editior is somewhat readable even without OCR, but there are some things that are invisible, and cannot be  operated.    The only other function I'd like is to be able to upload libraries that I download from the Boss Tone Exchange website, which is integrated with the APP, but is not accessible so I go straight to the site.  I"ve yet to figure out how to make that actually work.

From what I can understand, the app is fully functional without the hardware, just cannot save patches.    I will be more than happy to allow you to do what you need with my machine.

Thank you.

Hi Robert,

As you can guess, that means the logic informing about MIDI input change is not the same as for Audio Input, inside Cakewalk.
The API is exactly the same. Even more, surface plug-in (AZ Controller) has no consistent way to detect "Instrument" tracks.
Instrument tracks exposition throw Surface API is traditionally buggy, apart from omission of one half of parameters. Technically and logically
an Instrument track consist of 2 completely separate tracks, with all corresponding parameters. Cakewalk only visually represent them as one. In API
they also represent them as "one", so taking some parameters from the first and some from the second, without a possibility to choose which parameter
we really want. Summing that with some bugs (I don't remember when was solved and which not), the result was always disappointing.

Do you have MIDI part in your mixer?

Regards,
Alexey.

Hi Alexey
I have a problem that any track which is configured with a Soft Instrument (so combined MIDI/Audio track) is not reporting a change in track source to its feedback output.
The 'skip midi tracks' box in the Logic actions is not ticked.
If I trigger the action using a selective Monitor reset, then the track source reports correctly.

Could you let me know why this might be happening and any possible solution.

Regards
Robert

I can't find channel tools in CbB.  I found a few posts which said it wasn't included!

Hi Robert,

In Cakewalk panning options are project wide and limited, for anything "not default" they have proposed to use Channel Tools. That is just another difference with REAPER...

Hi Alexey
Thanks for the information.
I'll have a think about another way to solve the issue.  For context:

I have developed a way to allow true stereo 'panning' of stereo sources and buses in my audio mixer which does not alter the balance of left and right channels.  This used to be called 'stereo offset' and was often used in conjunction with 'stereo width' which I can also now provide.  So imagine a jazz recording where you wish to 'move' the piano to some degree away from centre stage and you recorded the piano to provide a stereo image.  If you use a 'normal' stereo pan control, then it just changes the relative levels of the left and right channels, e.g. In Cakewalk, if you moved the piano to the left of the sound stage using the pan control, then the lower piano register stays at the same level and the higher registers are reduced in level.  'Stereo Offset' moves the whole stereo image to the left or right whilst preserving the stereo balance of the original stereo recording.

So I was looking for a visual way in Cakewalk to show which stereo channels or buses had the normal function of the pan control changed to 'stereo offset'

Hi Robert,

With API it is possible to get strip color, but it doesn't allow change it.

Hi Alexey

Does AZ Controller have any way to change any colour attribute of a bus strip in the console view?
I mean the whole colour of the strip or the colour of a knob?

Or if not colour then the choice of strip icon?

I have a switchable custom function for buses (switched by incoming MIDI CC to AZ) and I want it to really stand out when it is selected.

All ideas would be welcome!

Regards
Robert
