    quantizing on sonar 4

    I havn't had problems with quantizing, so not sure I can help. The key factor (to me) in quantizing is to select the correct resolution..... also make sure what you want quantized is select in the quantize window.... data start, length etc. As a tip, you can (in piano roll view) just select...

    Reason 2.5 and Sonar 4 Pro

    This may also be just a typo, but did you mean Rewire? Reason isn't a DXi plug in. It is a Rewire insert.... go to Insert/Rewire Device/Reason.... should show up automatically when installed. Take care

    Best keyboard for orchrastra sounds???

    I agree, good choice. I have the old original expansion (JV series) boards on the XV board you mentioned..... they are pretty good. Enjoy it!

    PSyn?

    In Sonar, the answer is yes. You can play the track and fiddle with the knobs in real time and hear the changes. When you "freeze" or bounce the track, the settings you made are recorded. If you want to record knob changes while the track is playing, you can use Sonar automation for that...

    PSyn?

    PSYN is a Cake synth found in Kinetic and P5. It is a subtractive synth.... meaning you get a waveform by adding several (in this case 4 osc--each of which can select multiple wavs) together and then filter it to smooth or modify the signal content. It is a decent synth and there are some nice...

    Instrument plugins for S4, orchestra and B-3

    I have the NI B4 and it is a seriously good instrument. You can also get an additional set of voices for it that expand it's capacity somewhat. GPO is a good choice for orchestral stuff, as is the EastWestSilver Edition for about the same price. Unless you are interested in spending some big...

    Best keyboard for orchrastra sounds???

    The internal memory of the 5080 is limited, but you can easily get an expansion card which holds numerous banks of patches (I only have an additional 128 loaded, but there is only using a small fraction of the card.) I guess the key would be to listen to Roland, Kurzweil, others and decide...

    Best keyboard for orchrastra sounds???

    There are a number of expansion boards which could be used for Orchestral work for Roland Boards. They include Orch1-2 and Vocals for the JV series (which is compatible with the SV series) and the Strings and Brass XV cards. That puts a lot of samples at your fingertips. I like Roland sounds...

    Roland JV Patch Editing and Windows XP

    Did you try either an internet search or a search of the Roland Website?..... When they made the XV5080, they offered a free editor for it. I think they do for some of the other JVs and XVs too. If you can't find it with a search, you may try contacting Roland directly, they should be able to...

    JV1010 + expansion board + Sonar

    See the reply I put in the Sonar forum (at the Cakewalk site) to your question. If that isn't the info you need, ask a bit more specifically and we'll try to help. Take Care

    Alesis QS8.2 or Kurzweil PC1x?

    I have had an original Alesis QS8 for many years. I leave the Orchestral and Analog expansion cards in it. It is very solid, plays well and has never given me any problems. For $1000 to $1500 you aren't going to get great sounds... but you can get good ones. The Alesis has good "Bread and...

    really stupid midi question!

    Midi is a computer protocol that tells a particular instrument what note(s) to play, how loud, how long etc. To hear midi, you must use a Cakewalk midi track to play a particular synth.... and that synth must be hooked up to your audio system. I'm not sure if you already knew that and were...

    How to "Point" RMX to Data

    I'm not knocking Spectrasonics, but I need a manual for RMX. I cannot watch the included DVD either at home or at work (my computer is set up for music, not for watching DVDs etc.) So I have a fancy big empty groove box in RMX. My immediate problem is that I don't think RMX is reading my...

    Kompakt: use as DXi or VSTi ?

    Aside from the fact that it is cheaper than Kontakt (with less sound manipulation abilitiy), a modified version of Kompakt has been used quite a bit in the "virtual instrument" end of things. Also, while many people think (opinion alert--just passing on what others have frequently said) that...

    Kompakt: use as DXi or VSTi ?

    It probably doesn't make much difference with Kompakt as people have used both successfully. Initially, some folks reported the VST version was more stable, but that was in the past. Depending on the plug in, some may be more stable as DXi or VSTi. With a plug like Kompakt, it was not written...

    midi trouble

    That's a good point. I would disconnect one set of cables and see what happens. If that doesn't fix it, the problem may be in the keyboard. Intermittent problems are the hardest to find. Good luck.

    2nd Host VST Plugs / Utilize in SONAR?

    Many of the plugs ins that come with WavLab are proprietary :eek: and won't ever show up in Sonar. They are like the plug-ins that come with Cool Edit (now Audition). Take Care

    midi trouble

    More info would help. What is the keyboard..... how are you listening to the music (via headphones, into a mixer, does it have built in speakers?) Making electronic music can be pretty complex (you route audio outs into a mixer, into the computer, into a DAW then back out, at the same time you...
