Another thing I see since this update.
 
I have an 8x8 usb midi interface that I connect 4 bcf2000s to and use the mackie controller dll
as I always have. Today, twice, all the bcf2000s that are on midi I/O 1,2,3 & 4 have moved in preferences to 5,6,7 & 8 for the inputs and 8,7,6,5 for the output pins. Setting them back to 1,2,3 & 4
for the ins and outs gets me back going again but I suspect the following may be broken a bit?
 
Fixes & Enhancements
      MIDI Port assignments are now saved with the project and will map to the same device on another machine

Since this most recent update, My control surface in/outs have been different and non-sensible each time I have opened a project and restarted Sonar Plt. Certainly not the way I saved them globally, or for a particular project. Easy to fix and then they work correctly, but very different behavior since updating.

Crap.

2017.02 is still not showing up for me.  I updated the Command Center, went to Settings then Check Now, then right clicked Platinum, then Rollback, and the last update shown is 2016.12 - it's just not there.  No one else has had this problem?
 


You could go to your account/My Products page and download it there Declan. Just run the installer manually.

Thanks Bruce, I'd already tried to do that, but I just found out my membership had expired because there was a "chargeback" on 11/25 on my lifetime membership purchased on 8/31 and I have no idea of what happened.  My membership in SPLAT still shows thru 2037.  I was not informed about this "chargeback" and I'm...  freaking out.  I sent them an email.  Argh.

Pls report that in the problems forum so that Cakewalk will spot that.

This is serious ... won't be updating if that happens ...

Exactly my thoughts Rob. Ths is a big deal for anyone that already uses complex mapping on more than one system. I was nervous as soon as I saw this on the list - windows midi device assignment is a complex beast to tame! A part of me thinks it is best left alone. Anyone that needs to do this more than likely already has a system. Definitely a post tour update:)

I also had an issue with MIDI port assignments of pre 2017.2 ER track templates and projects into the 2017.2 ER.

I have already posted the issue in the problems reports forum.  The bakers are looking into it

When I opened it for the first time, I was immediately surprised by how snappy and fast the project load time was for a project with 37 tracks, 16 buses and about 50 plugins.
 


Did you update from 2017-01 Mike or had you skipped updates?


I update every month pretty much as soon as the early release is available then the full version when it's released.
So yes I'm updated. From 2017/01

Actually there is a similar issue with track templates in 2017-01.
