This is a serious bug, but unfortunately Cakewalk seems to completely ignore it, even after it has been brought to their attention a long time ago. On the website I speculated that I believe it could cause crashes, but it was only a theory at that time. So this is the first time I have read about confirmed crashes related to this issue. I was just reading through this thread and was going to post a comment that I believe this is related to the issue I posted on that website, but you beat me to it! I suggest another Sonar/Catanya user add another ticket, specifying the above thread. I tried to add some additional detail to the ticket, but no dice thus far. Greysound, saw your add to the "Cakewalk, any new info on THESE bugs" I submitted a ticket to Cakewalk, regarding this: CWBRN-2296 just not sure how it will be handled. I finally received a note from 7alens, too, saying that they're looking into it.

I bet it's some audio issue that causes the hang. but not of Catanya, which seems to be less intensive, as it generates midi. Just strange that we can run multiple copies of Dim Pro, Rapture, etc. I'd rather have the multiple instances though. It's a nice tool, and is quite exciting to work with.Īt worst, you can bounce to midi clips and move forward with other tracks. I felt like I was writing a Billy Joel track with some of the ballad piano presets. After seeing the 'working' Sonar Arp and being stuck with presets, I had to have it. The patterns alone are quite amazing, and the interface is quite nice. Can only get one instance to work thus far.Ĭatanya is a very cool plugin, even if only one instance. I see that there's options in the VSTi to turn it off, but didn't work for me. It also doesn't make sense to me that Catanya needs an audio track. Would be cool if we can get them to talk to each other. Of course Dim Pro, Rapture and others all work with multiple instances because of either partnerships or extensive testing. To the group, is it worth it for all of us to opening up a trouble ticket to Cakewalk on this issue? I just have a feeling that there would be fingerpointing back and forth. In relation, he claims to 'use at your own risk' on Win 64. I agree 7Aliens haven't been too responsive thus far, however I've found them posting to other forums: Try multiple instances too, to see if it work for you, and post your findings. To me, if it works with bitbridge in the demo, you should be fine.
7ALIENS CATANYA 2 FULL VERSION
Have you tried the demo? Using 32 bit, the demo didn't work for me on DXi synths (tts-1) but I took a chance and the full version work well. Hopefully someone else can comment on the 64-bit aspects. It's a stopgap solution while we wait for this bug to be addressed. Fortunately Energy XT is cheap and pretty intuitive to get up and running as a subhost without needing to learn the program from end to end. Obviously if MIDI VST instruments are your primary reason for having a DAW then this is particularly unwelcome news. This provides a much more flexible and stable working environment for MIDI VSTi's like Catanya. If you're committed to using Sonar as a DAW then I strongly recommend that you subhost your MIDI VSTi plugins through something like Energy XT. But two or more MIDI VSTi's will often lead to heartbreak, frustration and lots and lots of crashing, as well as long exchanges with the overworked Support folks. It you want just one instance of one MIDI VSTi then it works just great. Sonar has a long and well-documented problem with handling multiple MIDI-Enabled VSTi plugins.

I'm working in Sonar 32-bit and Catanya does work - exactly once.
