AZSlow

Reporting there is not converted video is a different thing (there are many features which are not converted, most of them are not even detected... I mean I don't know how they are defined in the project)

But the part of the project which can be converted should be converted, even in case it has video, so that I am going to fix.

A bit tricky, but...

Define "Offset" Set with "Off"/"On" States.

Create control "OffsetMonitor" with:
Set State Offset Off
Function Is Offfset Mode On
Last action:OK Set State Offset On
Text State of Offset
Monitor Command feedback

In the Monitor (feedback):
Set State Offset <Set to monitored>
... actions which send MIDI based on Offset On/Off

AZC works for me in new Sonar as well, thanks.

Hi,

I have discovered that Cakewalk allows me to right click on any channel and select "Move AZ Controller here" to shift the starting channel the AZC is mapped to.
But I do not know what feedback event to look for in AZC to be able to adjust WAI accordingly in AZC.

EDIT:

Answering my own question. There is no need to do anything, WAI is automatically adjusted as I move the AZ controller to another track.
It did not work for me as I was using absolute track numbers instead of WAI-related track numbers in my fader logic code.

Quote from: azslow3 on July 25, 2025, 04:56:03 PMI can confirm some files can't be converted at all. I will investigate the reason.

Those which are converted looks reasonable, but I will check what kind of warnings they produce.

Video track is not converted by ReaCWP (no-one so far has ever tried/requested that...). Adding video to conversion is a complicated task, so please don't expect that in foreseeable future.
 
As with many other things, video in REAPER is not the same as in Cakewalk. You will need to find reasonable for you way to deal with that.

Thank you very much for the review.
I really don't expect a conversion regarding the Cakewalk video migration to Reaper, but I hope this is at least verified and that other possible conversions are performed with a message like: THE CAKEWALK PROJECT HAS VIDEO AND WILL NOT BE INSERTED INTO THE REAPER PROJECT.

As it stands, it doesn't perform any conversions under this condition.

If you could convert the project to whatever is possible, that would be a huge step forward, since currently, it's unclear what the conditions are for not opening the project.

Thank you very much.

Hi Alexey

Yes the function works as you expected.  Thank you.

Do you need to do more work on the update so I have a way to derive a Feedback output for this function?  I need to send a MIDI message to the PIC which reflects the state of the Envelope/Offset button.

If not, can you tell me how to derive a Monitor of the button state please.

Regards
Robert

Hi Robert,

Mark was quick, so I will try to be quick as well

Please try the "test" version (b427M). It should have "Is on"/"In offset mode on" Function (these function return "success" when true, so if you "play" the action and offset mode is on, you should see it in the "Overview" tab, otherwise you should see nothing there).

I have not checked myself since I have not installed new beta.

Alexey.

BTW I am using .idl only, I am not using standard Cakewalk .h or API wrapper classes since AZ Controller is written in 'C', not 'C++'. But from the header it is obvious what I had to change.

Hi Alexey

I contacted Mark today and they have agreed to expose the button labelled 'Envelope/Offset Mode' in the API.  Details from Mark are as follows:

------------
ControlSurface.h, EProjectParam is now:

typedef
enum EProjectParam
    {
        EPP_SNAP   = 0,
        EPP_OFFSETMODE   = ( EPP_SNAP + 1 )
    }    EProjectParam;

Calling ISonarProject::GetProjectState( EPP_OFFSETMODE, &bValue )  will result in BOOL bValue containing the offset mode status.  TRUE means it's in offset mode, FALSE means it's not.  I'll update the idl / tlb / header in the public SDK when I get the chance, but for the moment just changing this in the header should suffice.
---------------

I should be able to test this new feature in the next Beta from tomorrow.

Please let me know if you need any further information from Mark in order to be able to add this to AZ Controller.

Regards

Robert

Hi Robert,

It is not exposed, till I have overseen something in IDL.
Please ask Mark what he thinks.

Alexey.
