I know that the new release is supposed work better with our systems.  i did not get to see the live streaming event.  Can someone give me the details on how it is going better integrate?  New features for us?

Don't have any yet. Have you checked the X1D page?

They showed a couple of new commands with control button and track or another one to insert tracks and do some other stuff new to X1d and vs-700 and they said there would be more. Guess we have to wait to find out all of the new commands.

Well - X1d is out.  Has anyone else tried the integration with VS-700C?  I am finding lots of things that aren't working properly and wondered if it is just me and something strange with my configuration.  Some of the things I have found so far...

- Although I can adjust many of the parameters in the ProChannel's FET Compressor (Softube) there is no adjustment for Ratio.  Strangely there are adjustments for Sidechain and Lookahead which don't appear on screen for the PC version.  The values displayed on the VS-700 do not match the PC display.  For example, Output 20dB on the PC is displayed as 1.0dB on the VS-700C.

- On the Quad Curve EQ there doesn't appear to be anyway to change the EQ type.  It comes up defaulting to "Hybrid" - although the VS-700 says it is "Pure" or "??".

- Concrete Limiter: The values on the VS-700C display are worlds apart from those on the PC display.

- PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor:  Threshold goes from 0 to -30dB on the PC display, and 0dB to 1.0dB on the VS-700C display.  The Ratio goes from 1.00:1 to Inf:1 on the PC display, and from 0.0:1 to 1.0:1 on the VS-700C.

I'm sure there are many other problems and little annoyances.  I am running V700 firmware 1.31 and Windows X64 Driver Version 2.0.0.

There is certainly a lot to like with X1d but it doesn't look like the VS-700C integration was rigorously tested.

Is anyone else seeing the same things.

Don

The resonsiveness of the select button through tracks and busses have been greatly improved.  That was one of my main problems and this has been adressed.

I don't have the softube bundle but I've experienced everything else you describe.

I would add that the labels on the console for all prochannels modules on tracks have disapeared after using Sonar for a while.  Have not rebooted Sonar but felt this was strange.  The labels on the buss still apeared but when I switched to track the labels disapeared.  I tryied swapping thourgh the pages thinking I was on an empty one with no luck.

Still no matching labels/layout for the EQ on the console... I thought that would have been a good timing to do this...

I am somewhat disappointed with the ProChannel implementation. I'm going to mess with it a bit more and see what I think, but yeah, lots of weird labelling and mapping.

Concerning the display that disapear on the channel strip in track view, it's a weird combination of activating the eq and messing with the high/low shelf. Not shure at all and I've not been able to "trigger" it but I'll try for shure.  It happened again tonight.

Any more findings about the mapping in X1D? I am thinking of getting a V 700 C the main reason being the communication with the pro channel. If this doesnt work properly then I'll have to rethink.

Could we please get somebody from Cakewalk to confirm these issues and if this will be fixed? These bug issues cannot be left in this condition if this is a relevant issue.

Here's the knowledge base article which lists the changes and fixes in X1d's VS-700c integration ...
