700C Issues With X1b Build 246

Back on deck finally & finding a few odd things with the setup while trying to get fluent with X1b and the 700C. More to follow & some are bound to become mere observations.

1. I'm sure this has been seen before if anyone has some info.. during playback, if I use the ASSIGN knob to change the output of a track with TS-64 Transient Shaper, the result is a beep and playback stops.

2. Bank Select. Select track 5 for example and hit +8 Bank switch... the screen doesn't update. Should this still be normal? The mouse still obviously required.

3. Using the ASSIGN knob again to change OUT assignment between busses. I noticed that if I happen to venture too far and end up on the 700R outputs, the knob will not return to the busses previously available from it. A known bug?

Thanks for any updates or input & it's nice to be back.

Cheers!

Hi Folks,

To address your observations:

Observation 1 - I'm not seeing this personally so there must be more specifics as to why its happening for you. Are you able to replicate this with any project? Does it only happen if you change the Output assignment from the VS-700C or can you replicate it with the mouse as well? 32-bit or 64-bit version of TS-64? Driver mode in use?

Observation 2 - The screen never did update by moving between banks. In SONAR X1, however, the screen will automatically update with your track selection. So if you select a track in a different bank it will update. No need to use the mouse to scroll.

Example: if you're viewing Tracks 1-8 and track 1 is selected, then you bank over to tracks 18-24 and press the [SEL] button on the VS-700C for track 22. When doing this, the Track View and Console View will jump to show your newly selected track.

Note: this is new to SONAR X1 so if you're using SONAR 8 or 8.5 you won't see this behavior

Observation 3 - I'm not seeing this either. What driver mode are you using? Do you have "Show Mono Outputs" enabled? One or two VS-700Rs? What firmware is installed on your VS-700C?

Observation 4 - The gesture for this is to hold COMMAND on the surface and Tap the fader. It is not a double tap on the fader.

In regards to whether or not we're addressing these issues, we need to know about what you're running into first in order to investigate. If the only report of an issue is on the forums, there's a very likely chance we haven't read it.

Myself and others might pop in on the forums occasionally when time permits, but if you think you're running into an error in how things should function you should definitely let us know with the Problem Report Form so we can sort it out. If you're unsure of if it's an error or something specific to your setup, give our support team a call.

Best regards,

Quick update to these issues... since installing X1C there have been zero show stoppers. The current project is the recording of an up and coming bands EP (6 tracks) and to date Sonar has not had one crash or issue causing concern for the 'clients' or the operator (me ). There are some strange things about the work flow but these are being identified and queried as individual threads to better isolate and address them (hopefully). Would like to get rid of the clicky sound when scrolling and there is input seen at a record enabled channel though... hmmmm..Cheers all.
