My cousin went to Thailand last year and gave me a percussion instrument from there for Christmas. She said they were called "Thai Finger Cymbals" and was pretty sure of the name. I have seen the small cymbals which are attached to the fingers of dancers and these are different. The...

How does one get Kontakt to import Akai instruments? When I have a CD in of Akai samples and instruments, I can't browse to it in Kontakt.... it says it can't open the CD. I have the latest update to Kontakt... I also can't seem to find it in the manual (and would be happy if you could direct...

I have downloaded a commercial editor for the XV 5080, from Soundtower. The help files are really skimpy and I have asked the website for some help. On their website, they hint that their editor for the XV 5080 will also edit other XV's. Sooooooooooo, I was wondering it the official Roland...

Had a system problem about 2 weeks ago and decided to reinstall everything. Sonar 2 XL was working okay. Reinstalled Win 98SE and the first program (other than a couple of small utilities, winzip etc) I installed was Sonar 2XL because it was kind of difficult to get going on the old system...

I've been playing with instrument definition files in Sonar2. Two problems: 1) With an SY77 (yes it's old, so am I, I love it!!) I can get it to patch change, but it does not select the bank correctly (if I manually set it to internal or whatever, it calls up the correct patch) In Instrument...

I have the instrument definitons installed for a Roland XV5080. I also have the instrument definitions for several of the expansions boards (from the older JV series). These definitions show up as a different instrument in Sonar XL. If I wanted to somehow add them to the regular XV5080 Patch...

Okay, a bit of a strange one. I have all of the sonar2xl effects and dxis in the default directories. I installed sonar2 in the directory where sonar had been installed (but following instructions, had uninstalled it). When I open an old file and try to add effects, the program crashes... and...

Anybody know if there are any instrument definition files for the roland xpansion boards... I have an XV 5080 and have 4 of the old boards for the jv 1080 and will probably get some of the new larger ones also... would sure like to select patches from within Sonar..... Thanks in advance. Take...

What am I overlooking? When I open a wav file (which starts at the very beginning of my Vegas 2.0h audio project) in the trimmer window..... the ruler doesn't match up. There is a 2 meaure silence at the beginning of the project (which is included as blank wav) but it shows up as measure 3 in...

Okay, I thought it was time to try the Beta6 version of WDM drivers for Frontier Designs Dakota. I downloaded the Beta and read all of the read me and application notes on how to do it. I uninstalled the old drivers, but when I rebooted it just found them again and want to use them... so...

Okay, I HAVE read the help files but still can't quite get this: 1) When I open console view and then customize it (e.g., shut off midi tracks for example), when I close it and reopen it (during the same session), it is back to the original all-encompassing view.... even if I have saved the...

In Sonar, you select the DXi Voice Tweaker as a soft synth.... not as a plug in (the voice tweaker pro is selected as a plug in). You apply the "instrument" to a pre recorded file. Fine, I apply it to a solo cello wav and it works. However, I want to record that file either in Sonar or as...

Okay, I can go to the bank and patch on Sonar and select User, Pre1-2-3 or GM and I get the correct patches that are more or less on board (unless I have replaced the user set). Kind of two questions: 1) What do I have to do to select patches from the card1 and card2 slot (if I can get a list...

I have several takes of an accoustic instrument (say a cello) which are set against some "finished" piano wavs. I edit the 4-5 takes down into a finished product and render the file. I want to delete the "raw" cello files and insert the rendered wavs of the finished cello file. When I do...

Well I am always interested in new plug ins (although up front I will tell you I am no big expert on them). After visiting the Cakewalk Direct X files, I got the Thelotron BeatModel plugs ins ($99 download) and the CloneEnsemble ($25). I previewed them in Cool Edit using a Gregorian Chant...

Foolishly thinking it would be nice to play some of my Akai samples from Sonar, I purchased the VS Sampler. However, it does not show up in Sonar as a DXi insturment (although I can get it as a stand alone). Any thought, suggestions, solutions? Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what to make of this. I have an 850 p3 with scsi drives. I recently added a seagate 37 gig scsi drive and formatted it (on advice of these forums) to read slightly larger chunks of data than the average microsoft hard drive (64 instead of 32). Anyway, I have the two programs in...

A few months ago there was a discussion about optimizing hard drives for computer audio, a suggestion was to increase cluster size. Made sense, I copied the message and it basically said to optimize to: /Z:64.... okay how do I do that? (I have Win98 SE) Sorry if this is an old topic, but in...

I have been importing Instrument definitions of banks into Sonar from the QS8. Here is the problem.... the "factory banks" work fine. Let's say they are banks 1=factory User, 2- Rom1....to 5 = GM). For Ease of selecting banks, I would like to keep all of the instrument definitions together...

Can you copy volume envelopes from one track to another in Vegas? (I don't mean routing the envelope to the aux bus, but copying the individual track envelope?) Thanks in advance
