Download the 16 Channel Multitrack Template, save it in your Cakewalk folder or the folder you specified in Tools | Global Options | Folders | Templates. Choose Tools | Project Options | Clock and select MIDI Sync. This tells Cakewalk to use the external sequencer as a clock source, instead of using Cakewalk's internal clock. Press record in Cakewalk. The "Waiting for MIDI Sync" message will display.

Unless you want to use a Standard MIDI File to transfer the song from the Korg Pa to the external sequencer, you must do a multitrack recording. First of all, set up an empty song on the external sequencer, with 16 MIDI tracks. Assign to each track a MIDI channel with the same number of the track (something like Track 1-Channel 1, Track 2-Channel 2, etc.). Be sure channel 10 is devoted to the drums. In the external sequencer, set the MIDI Clock to External.

You'll need to determine if this is a recording problem or a playback problem. To determine which one it is you'll need to start with a new file in Cakewalk. Click the Record button and play 4 notes. Stop recording and open the Event list view from Cakewalk's View menu. If you see 8 note events look at the Channel column in the Event list. If there are 2 different Channel numbers listed in this column, then your instrument is transmitting on multiple channels.

Well yes, but only if you have a multiclient driver for your MIDI interface (see next question). You can have your software sequencer playing some track and in the same time turn some knobs in bZone to hear the effect in your song. Note that you should only do this while testing, not while playing live or recording. The reason is: bZone uses system exclusive messages for changing parameter.

Yes. Using a 1394-to-CF adapter like the Addonics AESDMD2FW Card reader, any 7-Series recorder can record to an additional, external Compact Flash card.

Make sure that the feature "Rechannelize MIDI In" is set to Never (located in the MIDI menu) if you are using the Command Station as a sound module controlled by an external sequencer. If that does not solve the problem, try hitting Stop three times, or playing the Pattern by pressing Play, then Stop twice on the Command Station. Playing the Pattern even shortly will ensure that your channels load with the correct Presets, prior to being triggered by the external sequencer.

No. The VF-16 mixer section is not implemented to be controlled or controlling via MIDI at the moment. Fostex implies a future possibility. Yes. It is possible if you meant as DAT save/load via an optical/coaxial signal converter, such as Fostex COP-1. You can treat the computer with digital soundcard as a DAT machine. Please bear in mind that the VF16 can save and load only recorder section information but not including the mixer section setting at all.

The first step in getting MIDI in and out to function properly is to make sure the cabling to your external keyboard is correct. You need to connect MIDI Out of your keyboard to MIDI In of your interface, and MIDI Out of the interface to MIDI In on the keyboard. If you are using external sound modules, connect them via the MIDI keyboard’s Thru jack.

Your serial number is located on your Cakewalk registration card. If you cannot find this card, or if you sent it to us and did not copy the number down, you'll need to call our Customer Service team at 1-888-CAKEWALK (press 2 when prompted). They'll be able to find your number or tell you how to receive a new one. (Back to top)

Please call our Customer Service team at 1-888-CAKEWALK (press 2 when prompted) to receive your CD Key. You will need to provide them with your Cakewalk serial number in order to receive the CD Key.(Back to top)

The kX driver is a kernel-streaming WDM driver, and a latency as low as 10 ms can be expected under Sonar (depending on your hardware/software setup). Currently, DirectSound2D and DirectSound3D are fully supported. DirectSound3D support is under constant development, however it can cause issues with some games. Any offers to help with implementing support for DirectSound3D would be gladly accepted (skilled programmers only please!).

Yes. You can sync up pretty much anything that used MTC or MMC. Some folks report that the VS doesn't slave well to Midi Clock. Here again, Crispy gives us the detailed instructions.

When we talk about a sequencer in relation to MIDI, we often refer to a computer program that allows us to record, edit and playback the events that are in a MIDI file, just like a spreadsheet program will allow us to enter, edit and print (playback ;-) the data that's in a spreadsheet file. Note: The word 'Sequencer' is also used for the person who makes a MIDI sequence by means of sequence software. It's a bit of a language problem like with MIDIs and MIDI files.

It is possible. Using the bounce function, you can record the drum/bass track to any audio tracks. At this time, you should mute the other audio tracks. Also, an effect also can be used on the drum/bass sound. A rhythm pattern is stored in memory for each project. After saving an original rhythm pattern, you can import it into your new project. With a digital mixer, the appeared fader position can be different from the actual parameter value.

To record from an external source, you will obviously need a port to hook it to on your Mac. Most late model PowerMacs and all G3 and up Macs feature a 16 bit sound card as part of its internal hardware. Some older models do not support 16 bit stereo, so check the technical specs for your particular model. Some Macs will have standard RCA (phono) jacks and some will have 1/8" stereo (mini plug) jacks.

Set the Now time to where you want the program change, and choose Insert | Bank/Patch Change. The choice you make will be placed on the active track (Back to top)

Specify the correct directory in Options | Global Options | Folders (Tools menu in versions 8.0 and 7.0). Cakewalk 6.0x and earlier - You can instruct Cakewalk to look at a specific folder when you click File, Open by adding the following line to your WINCAKE.INI file. This file is located in your Cakewalk directory. The example below would make Cakewalk look in D:\SONGS when you click File, Open.

You can enable a setting called DrawPlayingAudio. You need to add the line below to the [Wincake] section of your CAKEWALK.INI file:

Some users have reported errors in Cakewalk's StudioWare View when using certain types of videocards. Specifically, videocards based on the NVIDIA Riva TNT or Intel i740 chipsets are known to cause illegal operation errors when opening the StudioWare View. Cakewalk has found that this problem can be remedied by downloading the most recent reference drivers from NVIDIA and Intel directly. To download reference drivers for Riva TNT-based videocards, please visit NVIDIA's website at: http:/www.

MetaSynth is a non-realtime composition and sound design too. As such, it does not any MIDI capabilities. However, MetaSynth can be integrated with MIDI-based systems in a number of ways. Xx, our MIDI-based algorithmic composition tool, read MIDI files and export them to MetaSynth. Also, MetaSynth-generated sound file can be imported into any audio-based MIDI sequencer.

One of the reasons that Sequencher is so popular is its display of data from automated sequencers. You can view both individual chromatogram files and aligned chromatogram files in Sequencher. If a file that you have from an automated sequencer does not open in Sequencher, please contact technical support.

The drum is the heartbeat that brings us all together. Every culture on our planet has its own drum. It is our birthright. Before there were words, there was the drum. It is a universal language as old as humanity itself. The drum has always been used to bring people together and to raise our spiritual consciousness. It is this spiritual language that calls forth healing and unity.

I am visually impaired and the Cakewalk mouse cursor is no longer recognized by my screen reader software application.

The Cakewalk 6.0x Export to RA function was designed using RA 4.0, and does not work if you have installed RA5 or G2. Cakewalk versions 7 and above do not exhibit this problem. Export from Cakewalk as a wave file and use the RealEncoder software offered by Real Audio. http:/www.realnetworks.com/developers/index.html has the software required to convert WAV files to Real Audio format.

Go to the Windows 95/98 Control Panel and double-click on the System icon. Click on the Performance tab. At the top of the Performance screen read the entries across from File Systems and Virtual Memory. They both need to say 32-bit. If they instead mention MS-DOS Compatibility Mode then your computer has a serious problem - beyond the scope of what a Cakewalk technician can fix.

If Cakewalk doesn't currently have the definition for your instrument, you may have to create the definition yourself. We do offer step by step instructions on how to do so here. You might also consider posting a request for the definition on our General newsgroup, which you can access from our Newsgroups page. Often, another Cakewalk user has already created the definition, and will email it to you. (Back to top)
