@pbognar - just seen your avatar and love it.
 
JX-3P was the first synth I owned, and still have it in my studio today.  I didn't have a PG200 to start off with, but still enjoyed step programming it.

Juno 60 was the first synth, traded it in for the Juno 106 because the 106 had MIDI. For some reason the 106 didn't sound the same...subtle differences.

I used to love those old Roland synths.  I started out playing the Juno 6, Juno 60, Jupiter 8 and JX-3P.  The VCFs were great.  And they were     made of metal and wood.
 
I remember in my youth, as a drummer, turning up to rehearsal where the band had a Juno 6, and because they knew I also played keyboards, they asked me to program a piano sound..  errr..

I saw it and it brought back great memories.  Let see if I can get this right...  The JX-3P / PG-200 was my first programmable, polyphonic, dual oscillator synth with knobs and MIDI.  I only used MIDI much later when I got my first software sequencer (Texture).


But with the JX-3P / PG-200, I could sync it up to the Roland TR-606 drum machine, and have a polyphonic sequence going on at the same time.  The coolest thing about this for me at the time was being able to program a patch while it was playing a sequence - waaay coooool....

+1.   To me, and for lack of a better way to describe it, the Juno 106 was just slightly more "digital/thin" sounding than the Juno 60.   I haven't played or heard either one in a few decades, but for some reason that did stick with me.

Hi Guys,

I have edited some rude posts in this thread after getting a few reports. Some of the posts were edited simply because they contained quotes.

The content of the posts isn't really important. Please stop abusing one another with profanity and rudeness and sarcasm. This goes for everyone participating in such behavior (and there are multiple people).

Also, please do not drag Cakewalk/Roland into your personal quarrels. Nobody at Cakewalk is reading this bickering and picking favorites. This is simply not the case. The only reason it even hit my radar is because people reported several posts in this thread. Try not to take it personal. 

I know we all get heated sometimes and we're all passionate, let's just try to keep it clean and professional.

I'm ok that my posts were edited.

I only wish that it hadn't taken you several days to act upon the reports of abuse.

It would be nice if when it happens someone would step in sooner, or a reply at least (non-automated).

I see admin here often, several times since I reported abuse in this thread. Not sure why they can't do this instead of you having to come in ... or maybe they don't get a message when there is a report of abuse?

Just some random thoughts. Like I said, I'm ok. I forgot all about this until I saw it pop up to the top of the forum to be honest. It's kind of like when the wife is mad at you for something you did on Monday that she yells at you for on Saturday. You're like WTH? Oh yeah, now I remember doing that.

The honest truth of it is that the forum abuse reports come into a system that I personally don't look at on weekends. I work a second job on weekends, and so I never read any of this until today. I do my best to check into the state of things (forums and other Cakewalk related stuff) when not on the clock, but sometimes you just can't.

We're working on some ideas to make things more self-automating though. It shouldn't take myself or other Cakewalk staff having to interact to know when and where things should be removed. In the meantime though, it unfortunately requires human intervention.

No biggie Ryan. I just don't know how it works and was curious that's all.

I saw admin logged in off and on all weekend ... but the thread stayed until this morning. Seems someone could have done something ... or maybe they can't. Like I said, I don't know how it works.

Not a big deal.

Thanks,
Bub.

I don't expect Cakewalk to work on weekends :-)

Besides, it was pretty calm around here the last couple of days.

Maybe you had one of the booby trapped Dim Pro patches loaded. Wish there was a list of those somewhere.

Hey, Beepster - I ran across one of those a long while back.  It was one of the guitar patches - something like 'Almost Together' or 'Almost There' = something like that.


Anyways, the fix was in this thread: 

http://forum.cakewalk.com...?m=2074837&mpage=1

I am not aware of others, but there may certainly be.

I know some of the Native Instruments Kontakt patches have annoying 'trigger notes' that change sound attributes of the currently playing patch.  VSL Strings was one such patch.  If I hit a low C note the sound would change to pizzicato.  I had to adjust the note numbers for the trigger notes to be as low as it would let me set them, so I wouldn't accidentally alter the sound.  GRRR.

And then there was a Reaktor Pan Flute sound that for some reason kept dropping pitch by a whole step.  I had to adjust some Sonar Preferences settings to make that stop - can't remember precisely which ones - something about either zeroing controllers and/or searching back for presets and such.

Anyways - yeah, it would be nice to have some sort of a Forum topic on the various undocumented surprises that lurk out there, just to consolidate them, although I would imagine that would be just about impossible to keep in any sort of helpful structure.  (and also free of non-helpful commentary).

Forums are 24/7. And the report of abuse that I sent in was before the weekend. There were admin here during that time, and all weekend. That's why I was asking who got the reports ... I saw people here but nothing was done.

Like I said, no biggie.

Hi Guys,

The content of the posts isn't really important. Please stop abusing one another with profanity and rudeness and sarcasm. This goes for everyone participating in such behavior (and there are multiple people).

Also, please do not drag Cakewalk/Roland into your personal quarrels. Nobody at Cakewalk is reading this bickering and picking favorites. This is simply not the case. The only reason it even hit my radar is because people reported several posts in this thread. Try not to take it personal. 

I know we all get heated sometimes and we're all passionate, let's just try to keep it clean and professional.

I think its very dangerous for CW to edit posts. I don't mean this in that the world is coming to an end way, only where will it end? Who is to say that what is posted was in fact actually posted by the person credited? How will this effect positions held in opposition to Sonar? Threads have been moved or locked or deleted but to my memory never tampered with by editing by anyone other than the poster themself. 

Clearly CW has total control over these forums and can do whatever they may wish. Yet, editing someone else's post to me, no matter how objectionable, can only result in undermining the integrity of this forum and distorting the writing of those that post in it. This is not a practice that CW should be engaged in. 

I can see a need for dealing with posts that violate the TOS, however editing posts here is to me the wrong approach. 

We have enjoyed a great deal of freedom posting here with the understanding our posts will not be tampered with, I think that doing this even for good reasons violate the spirit of this forum and pose a question about the future. 

I'm sure that this was thought out with all the implications considered but I wonder how the members who's posts seem now and forever in jeopardy would react if they had been allowed a voice in the decision?

I only speak for myself and hope that you and CW will reconsider this new way of policing the forum.  

Best
John

Have to end this with:
 
Totally offended that my posts were edited. I did not curse, tell anyone to die, threaten anyones life or health or family.
 
When someone mocks my service to our country, Yes I get angry. Really angry. But still, I did not curse, etc, etc.
 
Very wrong CW, very wrong indeed.

Startman70,

I edited your posts because they had direct quotes to other people's posts. I briefly mentioned in my posts above that this was the case with some posts and for nobody to take anything personal. This was nothing against you personally. I know you sent me a private message and I'd like to reply to you personally since it seems like there is some miss-communication.

I'm sorry for any confusion on the matter.



To everyone else,

I received some PMs and also noticed the replies below. I wasn't trying to police the forum nor make it look like anyone was at fault here.

All I did was edit posts because they had profanity in them and people were insulting one another directly. The specific posts I edited were directly reported via the abuse system. I also specifically stated that some posts were edited simply because they had direct quotes to others. 

This isn't a new way of moderating the forums. I wasn't trying to change any procedures here. When people use hyphens to get around the forum filter to use profanity, the post is going to be edited if its reported enough. This is specifically mentioned in the TOS. The alternative is to move on to banning people, which is not something I wanted to do because even the people I saw involved I know are good people who care a lot.

Once again, I'm not here to pick favorites nor to determine who started what. I was just reacting to what was reported by other members of the community... and yes some people did report this thread who did not participate directly in it.

I'm sorry if this upset anyone, this was not my intention. My intention was simply to clean up the abuse, as was requested by other members. 

The topic at hand was originally a positive one and I was hoping that we could return to that. This is why I did not delete the entire thread. I'm sorry to the original poster to have sidetracked this very much.

I did not mock your service, and the fact that you accuse me of that greatly offends me.

I should add that when I post I leave a part of myself behind. My thoughts are mine I believe and not to be edited or otherwise changed by anyone except me. I have always had this view. 

Even when I make an error in grammar or spelling I don't edit it after I posted it. This is because I think it is very important that what is said remain so that a full understanding is there at all times. With all the worts and errors in place.

In the past on this forum posters added to an edited post that it was edited but for such and such reason. Some still do it to show the meaning was not changed. 

Now a very good friend on this forum is so upset with this development that he may not participate further. To me that tampering was not worth anyone feeling the need to remove themselves because of it. I wonder if it was truly worth it?

@John . . . while I understand your firm stance on free speech on the forums, don't you at least agree that some of these recent threads
are in need of some moderation by Cakewalk admins ?  Ryan says he has edited for the purpose of cleaning up the language, and insults flying around.

After all . . . I log in here to learn about audio recording and Cakewalk Sonar tips from the Pros that use it, and perhaps occasionally help a new user with what I've learned . . . I really hate to waste time and have to filter through all the bogus threads where people are slinging personal insults.

I guess my vote is for more Cakewalk moderation of threads such as these.

This thread is another example of a few people adding drama to this forum daily. Not much to read here anymore. Someone says I like sonar - the handful of love/hate sonar folks jump in and call bs on the op. Then you grab the popcorn and read the rest like a bad re-run of the karate kid #23. The core group that hates on Sonar to the most boring place in a reader's mind is and has driven helpful and interesting people away from the forum. To my amazement, even attacking Craig Anderton from the safety of their big bad keyboard last week. What a travesty!! We are honored to have Craig here to share his deep knowledge of the music industry and recording knowledge. I'm ashamed.

With that said - this type of thread should have been a harmless everyday type thread where someone wanted to share their experience with like minded people. Good luck with the duck dynasty bash sonar for sport folks. Like highway robbers, they lay in wait. Anxious to see a thread such as this one and jump in with their message of being a victim. Hope that is working out for all of you that this applies to.

Boring...

Need I say more... Amen.

Whats wrong in thread like this in just saying "good for you OP"?

Do we have to make a smart remark? And do really need to have this many posts debating the merits of the that smart remark?

Yes everyone has a right to express an opinion but do we always have to?


I'm begining to suspect that John is really Yoda sitting behind that keyboard...Too wise as usual.

Yep - I totally agree with musicroom. I have to say I only visit this forum once a week or less (while in the past it was daily), only to flee away as fast as possible after reading something like these threads. Sorry - when people get scared to say something positive about the software that the forum is about, the forum is (in my opinion) simply mentally broken. I am not surprised people are leaving. I is just no more fun posting here, or even do something simple like a casual read..

I guess my vote is for more Cakewalk moderation of threads such as these.

I agree with moderation in all that that implies. I think, as stated, that editing a post is tampering that should not happen. What I suggest is that the moderator contact the poster and ask him/her to edit it themselves and if there is no action from the poster it should be deleted as the very last resort. The offending poster should be banned temporarily and cautioned never to post in that way again when they return.  

Also CW might consider asking a few members to volunteer to moderate with limited powers.

That is simply a suggestion but does work in other forums some better than others I might add.

I totally agree that this forum is about learning and should stay to that purpose. I also think that a debate conducted with respect for the other and to this forum is a great means for members to learn. 

This place should not become a free for all in that members engage in things that violate the TOS. I think if the above suggestion were to happen a quick response could be helpful in stopping posts that are close to violating the TOS and mitigating further conflict. 

I also think that the vast majority of members feel as you do and I think they have a right to come here with your good point in mind.

There's an old saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt."

I think that's what you're seeing here.

There's a group of us who have been here a long time who have formed opinions of each other and don't really like each other if we were to be honest, and it's gotten to the point where it just takes one slight underhanded comment to set everyone off.

For example, Stratman70 makes it his mission to slam me every time he sees me posting here. And honestly, I swear to God, I don't even remember why he's upset with me. This last little scuffle we got in to was a continuation of something that happened a long time ago that I don't even remember.

It's not a pleasant experience for me either being on the side you people are putting down in here getting attacked all the time by your group. It makes me a lot more defensive than I should have to be. I feel like I can't come here and discuss legitimate problems I've encountered in the software without being attacked by 'the posse' and made to look like a fool by all of you saying there is something wrong with my system.

It's this constant back and forth that makes this place what it's become.

I try to ignore it the best I can and help anyone I can, but it's just impossible, being a human, to let the constant barrage of attacks against me slide off my back. I'm not Jesus Christ ... I'm not perfect ... and neither is anyone else here.

@John . . . while I understand your firm stance on free speech on the forums, don't you at least agree that some of these recent threads
are in need of some moderation by Cakewalk admins ?  Ryan says he has edited for the purpose of cleaning up the language, and insults flying around.

After all . . . I log in here to learn about audio recording and Cakewalk Sonar tips from the Pros that use it, and perhaps occasionally help a new user with what I've learned . . . I really hate to waste time and have to filter through all the bogus threads where people are slinging personal insults.

I guess my vote is for more Cakewalk moderation of threads such as these.

I agree with moderation in all that that implies. I think, as stated, that editing a post is tampering that should not happen. What I suggest is that the moderator contact the poster and ask him/her to edit it themselves and if there is no action from the poster it should be deleted as the very last resort. The offending poster should be banned temporarily and cautioned never to post in that way again when they return.  

Also CW might consider asking a few members to volunteer to moderate with limited powers.

That is simply a suggestion but does work in other forums some better than others I might add.

I totally agree that this forum is about learning and should stay to that purpose. I also think that a debate conducted with respect for the other and to this forum is a great means for members to learn. 

This place should not become a free for all in that members engage in things that violate the TOS. I think if the above suggestion were to happen a quick response could be helpful in stopping posts that are close to violating the TOS and mitigating further conflict. 

I also think that the vast majority of members feel as you do and I think they have a right to come here with your good point in mind.  




@John . . . you're here on the forum a lot, and I like your idea of having some more experienced members help moderate these forums, as well as more Cakewalk personal intervention with problem posters, though I do get a sense that Cakewalk seems to generally have a hands off approach to this forum. I think if they had a more active presence here, the focus might stay on the software more.

Of course my vote would be for you to do it (in many ways you are doing it) since you already offer a steadying influence on many threads here, and tend to stay focused on the software subject.

Edited for TOS violation.

It must been when I said, ”Have a great weekend” that made me trip TOS.

I vote to just delete the entire thread that is deemed to contain objectionable material.

Including this one.

No. It was when you called me a 4 letter derogatory word that violated the TOS. And you know that ... but you still come back here and go off like you did nothing and play the innocent victim. You should have been banned over it, so maybe you're in better with the 'admin' than you claim to be below.
When at it…. As you notice I’m only GOLD MEMBER but I should been PLATINUM MEMBER years ago.
I have notice and I have my s-u-s-p-i-c-o-n that “SOMEONE” continuously deleting all my old threads and reply so my ranking never can get up? Actually my number gets less sometime everyday without me do any posting or anything?
So my question is; are the FORUM DATA deleted overtime or is it “someone” that abuse his power continuously delete my post and threads? I suggest that “SOMEONE” can take a good look in the TOS!
 
I have done many positive and helpful threads here at this community; one that you all might perhaps remember was called “A helpful thread about SONAR!” Six or eight pages long about helpful tricks how to use SONAR. Many more then me like John, Jose, Scott and many other participants in shared their tricks about SONAR. Do search and see if you can find it? No, its gone + many other threads and reply; “someone” has deleted that + 1000 more other post and threads I have done.
 
Thanks for listen!
 
Best Regards
Freddie
That thread is still out there, I was just looking at it the other day. It was started by Jose and the thread title has been changed a few times by Jose, but it's still out there. You just don't know how to search for it because you're not computer savvy.

I've had 3 posts deleted since I've been coming here, my post count is almost double yours. In every case, I feel Cakewalk made the right call. The first one I requested be deleted, the second one was a comment I made about Roland that they felt was not appropriate, and the third was in this thread. All justified on their part in my opinion. It is their forum ... not ours.

If someone has deleted over 1,000 of your posts, maybe you should start to ponder why? Maybe you are give a lot of bad advice or getting in to an excessive amount of TOS violating confrontations with other forum members? That would be my observation.

The fact that you are downplaying the reason your post was edited just goes to show what kind of person you really are. Something along the lines of your deleted post in my opinion.
