I installed the August Platinum update today. None of my synths respond to my sustain pedal. Oxygen keyboard controller display shows the pedal activity. To be sure, I swapped out to another pedal. No other changes to hardware or software - midi synths all worked fine yesterday.
 
The cute little tray icon blinks as it should with incoming pedal midi data from keyboard controller.
 
I recorded a test track containing only pedal up / down activity. In Piano Roll view, the controller pane shows that the pedal events were recorded, but the events were assigned to CC:66 - sostenuto. I tried to change it to CC:64 Hold, but when I clicked OK, it reverted back to CC:66.
 
When I changed the controller data from 66 to 64 in the event view, sustain came to life in tts synth.
 
Has anyone else encountered this?

Hello,
Update seemed to take longer than usual. One trouble so far is the scan of Vst's when opening Splat. XLN seems to develop a serious error message with long readout of problems. This occurs on all the XLN products. I can move past it, though, and continue scanning. Now I get the message at the end that tells me VST count with .xxxnew 0errors. Kinda confusing. Haven't tried using XLN in project yet. Going to get to that tonight. XLN update says "successful and shows all updated. Don't see where I can get the two new AD paks that I didn't have with Spro. Maybe you could point out how to get the two additional paks.

Hey guys put in the update and lost a whole bunch of my VST's ... Melodyne, ezdrummer e.t.c. got to have em' :(  HELP... If they were loaded before the update, I get a missing message and they are just greyed out on the project.... I tried to roll back to last revision. Kept getting load vst scan error, and a bit bridge error.. So i went back to this last update and still getting the same two errors
 UPDATE...had to delete an old VST dll that I really hadn't used in years... It was hanging up the VST rescan...All is well!!!

In Piano Roll view, the controller pane shows that the pedal events were recorded, but the events were assigned to CC:66 - sostenuto.

SONAR just records what the controller sends. I'm guessing that when you swapped pedals, you plugged it into the Sostenuto jack. If your controller has only one pedal jack, it must just be configured to send CC66 - check the Oxygen user manual.
 
In any case, it's highly doubtful that his has anything to do with the update.

I'm getting the crash too. AFter update, attempting to run SPlat brings up a "do you want to allow faultreporter.exe to make changes to your computer" and when I press "yes" I get a faultreporter.exe has crashed notification followed by a (platinum).exe has crashed notice, followed by a notice that says:
A fatal error has occurred.
Module: c:windows\system32\KERNELBASE.dll
A crash dump file blahblahblah
Exception code: c0000005
Address: 000007FEFDA4A06D:0000000000000065:0000000000000065
 
Rolling back to the previous version and everything works normally again.

How do you roll back? I need to do that twice. Update before last got me with melodyne.

How do you roll back?

You open up Cakewalk Command Centre, right click on Sonar (Platinum, Professional or Artist) and select the version you wish to roll back to...

Hi Guys,
 
Much Kudos on the Comping enhancements. Very Good and easy to use
 
Best Regards

Since the August update, many projects will not load.
 
I have a feeling it's when there are missing plugins. Sonar freezes after the "Missing Plugins" screen appears.
 
Interestingly - I have a FaderPort attached, and it goes nuts at the same time. The fader moves up and down very quickly  about an inch, and the mute and solo buttons are flashing.

My faderport has done this after this and other upgrades when opening existing projects, too. I wiggle the fader, and the project opens, showing me what is hanging - usually some small difference in outputs that I can easily fix. The projects open fine after I re-assign these. Faderport is picky.

I used to have that problem and here's my fix:
Once I set the FaderPort to what I want, I close Sonar and I set TTSSEQ.ini and ctrlsurface.dat to read-only file attributes.
