This is likely related to Sonar 6.2’s X-Ray feature. We’ve found that this occurs when X-Ray is enabled, and only under Windows XP (under Vista, the GUI should open normally and interact with the X-Ray feature as expected). We’re working with Cakewalk to resolve this, but in the meantime you can exclude Ethno from the X-Ray feature by doing one of the following: <\/p>\n
1.) Launch Sonar, go to Options > Global, and click on the General tab. At the bottom, disable X-Ray. This is the easiest and quickest method, but it will disable X-Ray for all plug-ins. <\/p>\n
2.) Exclude only Ethno Instrument from using X-Ray. To do this, you’ll need to follow these steps to edit the XRayExclude.ini file. <\/p>\n
– Go to C:\\Documents and Settings\\user name\\Application Data\\Cakewalk\\Sonar 6 Producer Edition (replace C with the letter of your XP startup drive, and user name with your login account’s user name).
– Open XRayExclude.ini in Notepad
– You’ll see entries like this: <\/p>\n
; Waves Stomp 6 Stereo
XRayExclude10={E3B000C2-6C44-4A23-A9A7-3F2C0052A010}<\/p>\n
– Go to the end of the file and add a similar line for Ethno Instrument: <\/p>\n
; MOTU Ethno Instrument
XRayExclude13={B7EC1903-F699-45CA-8D2E-43C6402C14DE}
XRayExclude14=11163151438 <\/p>\n
– Note that the number for each line needs a unique number, such as XRayExclude13, XRayExclude14, etc. Look through the file and find the highest number, then start with the next value.
– The value on each line is the plug-in ID, one each for the DXi and the VST. To find the plug-in ID, launch Sonar, go to Tools > Cakewalk Plug-in Manager and locate the DXi and VSTi versions of Ethno Instrument.
– Save this file, then re-open Sonar. <\/p>\n
Using either method, the GUI should appear now, and when X-Ray is enabled the Ethno Instrument GUI will not become transparent. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[35978],"storecat":[],"itemids":[14908,30066],"manufacturers":[33245,33566],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n
