Saturation knob issue - bug

Anybody else experience, that if you turn Saturation knob to maximum, the sound stays on this position even if I turn knob to minimum position. Thank I need to reload saturation knob instance to reset.

i think what your reffering to is the saturation knob is activated the second you turn up the knob,
can you give me a little more info?

I don't think I've ever turned the sat knob up all the way.  I'll look at this later when I get a chance.

@

normal here , but i have noticed something new : volume ....compensation ....not there before ..or am i crazy ...

They implemented an autogain thing  ?

It acts normal here :)

Of course I am running latest d update. What does "have you updated knob correctly" means? Some special application to update Saturation knob? Thank for replies

Yes if you had expanded installed you had to remove the saturation knob dlls and other stuff before installing the D patch. Its in the install PDF and on the page you dled it from.

From the PDF;

SONAR X1 Producer Expanded only:
7. Navigate to the location where your Softube Saturation Knob is installed. In most cases this is C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal\Softube or C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal\Softube
8. Delete all of the contents of the "Softube" folder (including both the "Saturation Knob.dll" as well as the "Backup" folder). The X1d installer will create a new Saturation Knob.dll file for you.

Yes I made exactly this steps. After upgrading to Sonar expanded, the knob works OK, but after I delete saturation folder and installed X1d expanded update, it starts to be wrong.

have you tried it only in 1 project or does it do this on all of your projects?

I went and test the saturation knob.. I never really use this normally..

BUT in my test : the graphic did not update..

New project, import an mp3 file into track, insert knob (it appear at the bottom of the track's PC).
- turn knob up, till max (knob graphic did not turn, remains at min, but sound change, more distortion)
- turn knob down, till min (knob graphic did not turn, still remains at min, but sound change from max distortion, back to none)

-- Moving the The keep high, neutral, and keep low level, did change the knob's rotation, but the level itself remains at the center (Neutral). But the level itself is hard to control, sometime respond sometime not.

Now here is the weird one..

I undock the console, max the console win, then min the console win.. now the knob either turns blue screen (just the knob section) or .. the previous windows background is shown instead of the knob. The only way to see the knob again is to remove and re insert knob.

Clicking on the soft tube icon shows version 1.38 (is this the correct updated X1d version ? As far as I know, I have follow the pdf instruction to update to X1d).

I recently posted about the Concrete Limiter being stuck with the Gain Reduction full on. Happens when I select it for a track. Totally random and non-reproducible.

I wonder if the problem is a general PC post-update issue?

Cakewalk really should test this software more precisely. This kind of bugs are shame.

I know this is an older thread, but wanted to add my saturation knob doesn't work properly either - no matter what level I turn it up to, I can not reduce the saturation after. I always have to delete the knob and add a new one, then be careful to nudge it up to the level that I want. I am on X1d, using Sonar 64 bit. I did not do the delete the dll thing... I just find this annoying that there has not been a hotfix to fix this atrocious issue.

have you contacted support?  there haven't been a lot of people complaining about this issue - I'm not saying it's not an issue, I'm just saying that unless someone has a problem they've brought to tech support then it won't be fixed.
