Oooh... Scary... Just bought SPlat.......

All new to me... Command Center and all that. Is it all nice and easy to use? Should I just go ahead and "Install All?"
 
Okay... Let's go for that and see what happens............

Best of luck.

Thanks 
 
Still downloading... At least my internets is faster than when I last downloaded X2 
 
I'm assuming, as ever, that I can leave X2 installed, and even still use that if I want to. I fancy making sure I can see all my old VST's and what have you in SPlat before switching over permanently...
 
 

John
Yes you can leave X2 installed. I hope things go well for you. They did for me. 

Cheers John 
 
Download complete... Now installing... I hope I have enough room on my SSD 

Zargg71
Did you know that you can place your CCC download folder, where you want it?

Interesting... I have no idea where those files went... I've still got 50gb left on my system SSD so I think I might be okay...
 
SPlat is installed... I'm running a test project now.
 
I was able to search out my original X2 saved plug-in menu layouts, and I'm checking that all my X2 synth and effect plugs load okay. So far so good.
 
And my X2 prefs were spotted by SPlat, so I used those settings to run it.
 
 

Ps. You can change download path after installing SONAR.
 

You are going to be a very happy person. You will be in your happy place!  

Sonar 2015 is basically X2 only with loads of stuff made better, and loads of new stuff.
 
I've said this already in a couple of other threads, but what's really going to blow you away is the way it gets seriously better every month. The membership updates are not trivial, and whacking great big new features have not, so far, been a rarity. And bug fixing and incremental enhancement goes on all the time. It's extremely impressive.

Midnight here now...
 
Must.
 
Go.
 
To.
 
BED!

mudgel
Over rated if you ask me.

LOL! Yeah hahaha...
 
Went bed about half past midnight, after faffing about, seeing to our dog, cleaning my teeth. Couldn't sleep, so I stuck Rubycon on me iPod. Nothing like a bit of Tangerine Dream to chill out to at the end of an exciting day LOL!
 
Up again... Gonna have breakfast first, then I'll be back into SPlat...

Andy I bet ur like a kid in a sweet shop

Hi Gary, yeah... I should be , but I'm taking it easy to start with, leaving the new sweets on the shelf until I'm happy everything is working as it was in X2 (which I'm sure it will be).
 
Starving... I'm off...

Best of luck Andy!

Thank you Mr Jones 
 
I've just had a weird one actually:-
 
My current test project has three VSTi instances.
 
The first two VSTi are being driven by the step sequencer. The third VSTi has no MIDI yet.
 
When I selected the third VSTi MIDI track, while the project was playing, it started to play notes that were on one of the other step sequencer parts.
 
Had me stumped for a bit. and I went to Prefs and unchecked "Always Echo Current MIDI Track," which stopped the problem, but now I'd have to manually select the echo input button.
 
So I checked the "Always Echo Current MIDI Track" option again and now there are no notes being played in the third VSTi.
 
I'm obviously missing something here... Didn't have this in X2, so something must have been "enhanced" and I can't see what...
 
 
Onwards and upwards

I would suggest that you copy the original folder and all of the downloaded files to wherever you want to instead have it go, and than alter the settings in Command Center to point to the new location.

Done that Bob, thanks 
 
So I've freed up six gigs on my system drive.
 
Had three crashes this morning, trying to change parameters in a VSTi while the project was playing.

Crashes could be down to the VST's Ken... I can't replicate it... It's kind of random.
 
And it's a hang, so the problem reporter doesn't pop up.

Hi Ken,
 
It's not effects. It's my VSTi's, and it has only happened when I've been tweaking stuff inside the VSTi properties window. The effects appear to be working okay at the moment...
 
cheers

Okay, I now have the following in my current SPlat test project:-
 
Absynth 5
Novation Bass Station
Chromaphone
Dim Pro
Battery 3
BFDEco
Drumaxx
Session Drummer
SI Drum Kit
FabFilter One
FabFilter Twin
Hive
Lounge Lizard EP3
Korg M1
Korg MonoPoly
Korg MS-20
Podolski
Korg Polysix
Rapture (not pro)
sfz
SI Bass Guitar
SI Electric Piano
SI String Selection
String Studio VS-2
Strum GS-2
TruePianos (Cakewalk)
Ultra Analog VA-2
Korg Wavestation

So that's thirty VSTi all playing a little ditty, with percussion duties shared across the various drum synths.
 
There are also 31 instances of Pro-Q 2, one Pro-L, one Breverb 2 and one Timeless 2.
 
All appears to be playing okay, with nothing frozen, and the CPU meter hovering at around 60~70%
 
No automation used yet...
