Ya if they are gonna change the name from Cakewalk to Tascam Professional Recording Software, I'd change the name everywhere, including the name of this forum. I'd banish the name "Cakewalk" to the nether regions, asap.

Well, only yesterday they said the deal is NOT complete yet even though the letter of intent was issued. 

hi all new to all this. Just wanted to find out if using sonarx2 without a midi keyboard I can get sound by choosing softsynths and TTS1. Is there a way to get this to default save adding it to each track that is added or loaded

So what's holding up the deal ?? Gibson has the bucks, Cakewalk needs the change, Roland probably wants the money...I'd get the lawyers and bankers together and make it happen right away. A letter of intent is pretty serious stuff, especially now that it has been announced. I'll bet that the deal could all close within 30 days if everybody wants it to, and Tascam Professional Recording Software could be available just in time for the Christmas shopping season.

You can use any soft synth without a midi keyboard by clicking notes into the piano roll view. My first experience with a cakewalk product was when I was making a backing track for a Russian sketch comedy competition in 2004 using nothing but the mouse and the Piano Roll View. We still won. :)

Re the Gibson acquisition - wasn't it a letter of intent vs announcement of ownership transfer?
Not saying that it's not going to happen, just that it hasn't yet.
And as such a number of things may be in a holding pattern- including the release of X3.

No holding pattern. Noel and andrew have.both discussed leaked features and that release is imminent ie, within days.
