V-Studio help

I have been searching and searching for answers. I finally figured out how to select different tracks for different faders. Now I still need help on the following:

- T-bar xray - how does this work? I have multiple views open and I did ctrl+shift+xray and it does nothing.

- What happened to the step sequencer? I had it in my Sonar 7, and in this video

http://www.dailymotion.com/vids/14370240+14370564+11668852+11669697+11669927/video/x6y4e9_sonar-vstudio-700-for-modern-music

it shows it being used, but mine is grayed out and looks like it is not installed?

That's it for now.

Thanks,
Jeromy

    X-Ray works for plugin instruments and effects, but not for SONAR edit views. On the VS-700 X-ray is performed by using the T-Bar with the button for X-Ray (below the T-Bar) selected and illuminated.

    The Step Sequencer is there - you just need to make sure you have a MIDI track selected. Otherwise it is grayed out as you describe.

    Thanks for the help so far. I have another problem now.

    When I try to insert an ARX track I get this error: "ARX Mismatch Unable to load ARX contents dur to a version mismatch between the Editor and ARX boards. Please update these to the latest version in order to continue."

    I already installed the VS-700R firmware and drivers. Is this something else?

    Jeromy,

    Which ARX board did you buy? Make sure you have the latest 1.1 VS-700 driver and software installed as well.

    Hi Seth,

    Maybe I'm confused, isn't there an ARX board in the I/O. Or is it only for expansion? I just assumed that it included one and you could purchase an additional one.

    By the way, I really appreciate the prompt responses. With this new product it is great that cakewalk actually supports their customers.


    My next question is how do I record with my beatscape? I have tried everything, looked up all the Youtube video how to's, the forums, etc. Everything just shows how to use it, but not how to record the session. I found another thread where a user has the same exact problem but everything that was suggested doesn't work for me or apparently the other user. Some clear instructions would be great. I can create a great beat, but there's no way to get it on a track to add to my project. It's really disappointing, because I love the beats I can make, but it is useless if I can't get it into my project.

    The ARX slot is empty, so you have to buy your own cards.

    But, it would be a great idea to include one card in the bundle to sweeten the deal !

    How about that Cakewalk ?

    I love it! You can't beat everything that's included. I'm just working out all the kinks, or learning how to do what I want to do with it now. I've only had it 4 days now, but already I'm very happy with the results.

    You wouldn't know how to record your beatscape sessions in a track, would you?

    Record Beatscape by entering the MIDI notes in the MIDI track associated with Beatscape. You can do this by hand or by recording realtime MIDI events from a MIDI controller.

    Also: some info on ARX baords: Robin's post

    and here from Roland.
