Steve,
I guess I wasn’t clear with my response. I thought I was clarifying the recent change to the PRV as far as displaying one or more controller lanes.
 
My Statement from a previous post:
“…I can display any or all of the controller lanes that I desire.”
 
Your question:
“…Does this mean that if there are 4 controller lanes you can just choose to see only the 2 that you want to see and the other 2 are hidden?”
 
My Answer:
….Say you have 4 controller lanes that have data on them and you want to work on 2 of them. Click on the minus sign of the 2 lanes you want to close. You now have the 2 lanes left that you want to work on. If you want to bring back the other two lanes, click on the + sign on the bottom left and type which lane(s) you desire to add. The data will still be on the lane.
 
This is how “I can display any or all of the controller lanes that I desire”.
 
The way Cakewalk has implemented multiple controller lanes is a step backwards from the way you could do this previously and could be greatly improved. I would like to submit a feature request, but Cakewalk has moved that to the "Bakery" and I don't do the "Bakery"

Thanks Walt. I get it now. The remove and add option is now farther away and takes more steps.

Yup!

It is for your own protection, like a trigger lock on a gun.  :)

Yea. The new improved PRV with child protective caps on everything.

Well my take on this is...
- it should have been documented at shout level, it's so different..
- while I can see having all tracks in the PRV (sort of), they badly need to be colour differentiated IMO

I spend almost all of my time using PRV, since I work with countless synths, each with its own requirements and quirks, but all requiring 100% MIDI. And I'm sure many other users also have this profile. This explains my requirement for a better PRV, not the reverse, as it is happening.

OK. I have seen some posts saying "that's the way YOU work"...but I think that there are a LOT of MIDI-only workers....the very power that is available from a DAW encourages that.
 
But if you take some time understanding (god I hope that word, even when I use it) the new PRV, you can still work exclusively with MIDI tracks...it's just that PRV was all about MIDI and now it's not. I am not sure the new :PRV is best, but it can be tailored.....to suit even thee and me....and I am MIDI thru and thru!
 
Apply the Filter in the new PRV (it will be highlighted), then filter OFF all the non-MIDI tracks. Basically you are back where you were. But instead of the old dropdown you are presented with a track list you can choose from. Single or multi.
 
I am still out there if it's "better", but I see what it's doing and I hope I helped.

Forking Hay. What? Sorry man. Did not mean to offend.
 
Wow!

Roger, I agree with some of what you are saying.
The PRV changes could use some improvements and hopefully those will addressed in this next update.
But for the most part what we are seeing is a relatively small group of users unhappy with the PRV changes.
think about how many people use sonar and its PRV. id say only 50% visit this forum. So we have only 50% of users giving their opinions and im going to guess again and say approximately 5% have some grips.
 
Change stinks sometimes, I get that. but sometimes it takes a while to get used to that change.
it takes a while to settle in and work a little bit differently and in the end we hope it is for the better.
If it is not.... we either A- force ourselves to get used to it or B- Use another product.
I'd hate to see you use another product because... while sometimes I find it annoying you create 4 posts in a row when you could condense them in to 1... What you are really doing is bring a different prospective to the table which is brilliant. This product needs people like you to give feedback.
 
Hey, I hope things become easier for you. don't get too down on it and try to find some positives in there some where. Wishing you the best.

What hot keys are you referring to here? V & A?

Previous to 2017.03 (which I don't have and never will have)
When I have a PRV filled with many tracks and want to see only one track:
I most always, first, click on a note in the PRV
and then that track becomes active and is highlighted in the right side list of tracks.
( 2017.03 eliminated the possibility of clicking on a note and having that track become active and also highlighted in the list. )

I then un-tick the color box for that track and type a "V"
the "V" inVerts the selection so now I only see the track that I originally un-ticked the color for.
It also works with multiple tracks, so If I want to see 3 tracks only out of 20 I un-tick the color on those tracks and type a "V".
Typing "A" once again shows you All tracks.

It's very fast for me to do this pervious to 2017.03

2017.03 eliminated the quick toggling of the view of tracks in this way, i.e. by un-ticking a color and typing "V" and then "A" to once again show all.

Hey Bob, thanks a lot for posting a heads-up!
 
I just read through the changes for 2017.04 Early Access and the new PRV additions sound really, really good! :) Seems like it's everything I wanted for my workflow to stay efficient while at the same time enjoying the benefits of "the new PRV". I hope others will like the new changes as well.
 
Thanks again listening and also for communicating with us in these forums, it really inspires confidence in Cakewalk. :)
