Those are great! Let’s collect around 10 or so, so that I can examine them to see what I can consolidate into single videos with a few items in some cases. Good start here, for sure!

States has its own video here:

I’ve created a playlist on my channel to contain all the tutorials I can find or that I create myself.

The first ones are the ones Brad has made and are also available on his YouTube channel (though not yet in a playlist form there)

And also on the official Cantabile 3 tutorials page.

I can make more on the topic of states, for sure! There are so many nuances! :sunny:

Since the list so far is not categorized or prioritized, and represents a first pass at a variety of Cantabile components and features, should we look to keeping the list as a “sticky” so as the user community finds other areas that could use more help, it would be easier to find this (now lengthy) post to add items.

Or any other way to keep an ongoing set of helpful comments for new or casual users of Cantabile.

From my perspective, the Into video seems to be adequate to get new users started using Cantabile, and I feel the real need is to develop “use cases”, like us IT people tend to term them, which look at couple of commonly used setup situations. For example, a guide that walks a user through the process of setting up a main keyboard with two splits, a couple of control bindings, and adding some VST’s, showing the various menus and settings options along the way.

Another example might be a setup of two keyboards and a control surface with bindings and several racks with explanations of the hows and whys, along with a more detailed intro into setting up Songs and Setlists.

Something like these two scenarios could bring a casual player up to enough of a level to more fully understand the comments and issues of more advanced users on this forum.

Just some random thoughts on this topic…

Yes, this might be handy to make it a sticky item.

I’ve been sick the last couple of weeks, but have made a mind-map to house my outlines for a few videos. I may share that when it has enough stuff in it!
