U-He text input issue

Yes the bug still persists, however there is a very simple workaround. If you want to program sounds load your U-he synth into Savihost (just google the name it will come up with a link) then when you want to compose you can just load it up in Sonar as normal.

Okay another work around, which I have also done. Design your patch, open notepad and type in the name you would like to call the patch, highlight the word/phrase and press ctrl + c, go to your U-he synth click in the preset name box and press ctrl + v.

Brian, that has never worked for this bug.  This is a multi-year issue they never resolved, which is the main reason I switched to Cubase.  Not interested in workarounds when using my main synths (all U-He).  I gave Cake my money for 15 years, and they couldn't fix this issue for me over four years since X1.  I had hoped they would offer a patch.  I might have returned as a customer.
 
Thanks for your replies.

This has been an issue FOREVER... should be fixed.  Really annoying and stupid...It rarely comes up for me but when it does I go "arrrrrrg... wtf" all over again...
 
Must be hundreds of artist hours spent on this issue in threads for the past decade... thousands if you count all the reading involved...
 
Has this been added to the suggestions forum???
 
BTW, if this is fixed, I apologize but last I tried it wasn't...

i'm surprised you seem to have no recollection of this topic, which has been discussed many times over the years https://www.google.co.uk/#q=u-he+text+site:forum.cakewalk.com

Must you audit, piggyback and nag at everything I do like one of the two old blokes sitting in the muppet theatre?

I'm sorry I'm not living up to your expectations... But perhaps for a change you could actually contribute something of your own rather than continuously piggy backing threads with your judgement calls and trolling which help nobody? Would that be too much to ask?

Post #2 says the bug still persists and that's what I had to go on before Scook came along. So if biodiode can please double check, because he said it isn't working.. I have no idea BTW I don't own these plugins. All I have stated is that one cannot assume that this is a cakewalk bug which is completely true. If it turns out to be a cakewalk bug then fine. If it turns out to be a U-He bug then fine. I really don't give a monkeys. My point was people should maintain an open mind here and felt it was an important point to make.
 
Is that OK by you or is there some other judgement or comment you wish to carry out which will exert your superiority?

I'm sure it's probably fixed... which is good... but I still have some confusion about the comments made on post #2. Cheers...

Apologies for any confusion, I have had no need to try give all keystrokes on the new Sonar release, as all my u-he instruments were registered and I had not done any preset tinkering of late. I could not see it as a fix in the copious notes provided with each release and therefore assumed the issue must still be there considering the nature of the query by Gonga. Although there were very simple workarounds that I am sure lots of us used.

Once again apologies for the confusion.

Not exactly a huge deal but I was curious if anyone else has the same problem?

No, works fine here.

Just in case someone finds this thread, I worked out why I couldn't use the U key in Sampletank 3's search box.  Turns out U is one of the alphabetic characters that aren't mapped by default inside Sonar and I had assigned it (without any shift or Alt) to Center View On Now Time.  Even with the "Give All Keystrokes to Plug-In" active for some reason Sampletank (and only Sampletank, Kontakt doesn't have this problem) would not get the U key.
 
My solution was to change the shortkey to ALT+U.
 
It's definitely a bug of some sort though.  Not clear exactly who's bug it is though, maybe it's both Sonar and Sampletank's.  In any case I'm happier now I can search for "drum".
