Minor Platinum glitch/thing

Another thing I just noticed. The drum pane reverts back to a small size area at the top of the piano roll whenever a different track is selected in the track view. This happens whether the piano roll window is floating or docked, visible or not.
 
Maybe these 2 things are related somehow? With drum midi being the common thread?
 
Need someone who is smarter than me to help (this means you).

I think that's been happening for as long as there has been a drum map name option in the PRV. It used to get on my nerves so I went back to using a drum kit and microphones.

Yeah, no show stoppers here. Just doing my due diligence and reporting stuff that's all. Was hoping to get the attention of the bakers more than anyone. It's all good. Liking the Command Center as well, download and install was effortless. Maybe because I lucked out with the early download and lower traffic, the download was super fast!
 
 

Flerb- are you using touch at all?

Interesting. I can't make the same happen here, at least not with the info provided. I'm curious if it relates to Plugin Delay Compensation somehow. Can you still reproduce the problem after overriding PDC? It's in the mix module in the Control Bar. Click the button labeled "PDC" so that it's lit, then try to make it happen again. Please report back - that would be a very useful lead. Thanks.

Flerb must be an "insider"...it's not even available yet and he's already got 
it installed....hmmmmm

OK, so I finally got some more time to analyze this problem.
 
My project is saved with SOLO and DIM buttons on. Everytime I open the project, the drums are out of sync. Not only out of sync, but playing at a slower tempo than the rest of the project, by about 20 bpm. Turning SOLO or DIM on and off while project is playing does not correct it. Sometimes, but not always, stopping playback and starting again corrects it. Turning PDC on or off during playback corrects it everytime, but it doesn't seem to matter if PDC remains on or off, drums still in sync.
 
After correcting it, I can make it happen again by stopping playback, turning DIM on, then SOLO. This sequence makes the problem return everytime.
 
Trying to follow the notes displayed in drum pane as the song is playing with the problem active, it seems that AD is playing midi notes that aren't there at all, and only playing some notes that are there.
 
A weird problem, but not too bad, I can still work around it.

I believe this is just another manifestation of SONAR's long standing flaky MIDI implementation. See this for an easy way to repro similar issues (also involves Dim Solo, so I suspect it might be related):

This has been going on for many years. Things get especially bad when you rely on MIDI data sent out from some plugins into another track. Sometimes the data sent out from those plugins would be out of sync too (like from a different measure altogether), or would momentarily bleed into the wrong tracks as you simply select between tracks.
 
It sounds like a drum map might suffer from some of these same issues. I don't use drum maps but maybe I should see if I can repro some issues and then log problem reports for it. Please log problem reports for anything you run into, when possible.
 
I am really excited about all the new changes in SONAR, and this release seems to be good compared to say the X1 release. However it boggles my mind that CW can't implement a solid MIDI foundation. No modern DAW should have basic issues like that shown in the video, yet here we are dragging those issues from release to release. Why is it so hard to get the basics right?
