General information
Press F1 for context-sensitive Help
Remember that you may press the F1 function key at any time to get help related to what you're
doing in Cakewalk Pro Audio.
Web
Please visit us on the World Wide Web at [Link]
Newsgroups
The Cakewalk newsgroups are discussion forums that let you trade tips, advice, and success
stories with other Cakewalk users. Here are four Cakewalk newsgroups in which you can
participate:
Beginners
ne[Link]
The [Link] group is for users new to Cakewalk, MIDI, and digital audio.
General
ne[Link]
The [Link] group is for general Cakewalk and MIDI issues.
Audio
ne[Link]
The [Link] group focuses on issues related to digital audio.
Coffeehouse
ne[Link]
The [Link] group is for chatting and brainstorming with the Cakewalk
community, from exploring music composition techniques to trading secrets for mastering
projects at home like a pro.
If you’re using a dedicated newsreader like Free Agent or Microsoft Internet News, just point the
application toward the server [Link]. If you need help accessing any news
server, including Cakewalk's, please consult the documentation for your newsreader program or
the customer support for your online service or Internet Service Provider.
Driver Included with Cakewalk Pro Audio
Most drivers you will use are either included with Windows 95 or provided by the manufacturer
of the MIDI interface or sound card. However, we have included our driver on the Cakewalk Pro
Audio diskette.
IMPORTANT! If you have a SCSI hard drive controller, be sure to thoroughly read
the "WARNING: SCSI Hard Drives" section of this README!
Roland MPU-401 and compatibles
Windows 95 includes a driver for MPU401 compatible MIDI interfaces, but you may want to
use our driver instead. The Cakewalk driver can be opened for output by more than one program
at the same time, so that you don't have to quit one MIDI program before starting another.
Important: Be sure to Remove the Microsoft driver before you Add ours. If both drivers
are installed, you will experience problems.
Please see the Cakewalk Pro Audio User’s Guide for instructions on adding or removing drivers
using the Drivers icon of the Windows Control Panel. Insert the Cakewalk Pro Audio disk in the
drive when prompted.
Additions and corrections to the 6.0
documentation
We added or refined some features in Cakewalk Pro Audio 6.0 after the manual went to press.
Read this section thoroughly for information about these changes. Other corrections and
clarifications to the manual are also found below.
Working with linked clips
Selecting linked clips
While in Track view, you can select all of the clips (if any) that are linked to a clip. To do this,
rightclick on any linked clip in the Track view Clips pane and choose Select all Siblings.
Linked clips and StudioWare view
When you take snapshots and record widget movements in StudioWare view, Cakewalk inserts
the events (such as volume Controller messages) into clips. If the clips are linked, you will get
multiple instances of the events, which may be what you want. However, if you want to avoid
this, set up a fresh extra track (with the same port/channel as the track containing the linked clips)
and record the widget events in that extra track.
See the "Track View" chapter in the User’s Guide for more information on clip linking. See the
"StudioWare View" chapter to learn more about recording widget movements.
Piano Roll view enhancements
Selecting notes of a single pitch
In Cakewalk 5.0, you could drag notes in Piano Roll view by doubleclicking on the piano keys
or note names at the left of the view. This has changed somewhat to give you more editing power.
In version 6.0, you can use the keys or note names (at the left of the view) to select all note events
that have the same pitch or MIDI note.
This new method is more flexible, because you can select all notes of a single pitch (or several
pitches) first, then move or edit the notes. For example, you can click on C4 to select all notes of
that pitch, then drag the notes to different pitches or times. You can also apply editing commands
to just the selected note events.
To select and move notes of a single pitch:
1. Click on the Selection tool (the arrowshaped tool at the upper left of the Piano Roll
view) to enter Select mode.
2. Click once on the piano key or note name in the keyboard pane at the left of the Piano
Roll view. This selects all notes of that pitch in the track; you’ll see them highlighted in the
note pane. To select notes having several pitches, hold the mouse button and drag up or down
to select the pitches you want.
3. Click once on any of the selected notes in the note pane.
4. While still holding the mouse button, drag the notes to the location you want, and release
the mouse button.
You can use Shift+Click to add notes to the selection, and Ctrl+Click to toggle between adding to
or removing from the selection.
Moving and copying Controller events
This section corrects information on page 180 in the User’s Guide.
You cannot dragmove or dragcopy selected Controller events in the Controllers pane of the
Piano Roll view. To move or copy Controller events with drag and drop, you must first select
them by clicking and dragging in the time ruler. This is called a "deep selection," because you
have selected all of the track’s events in that time span, including note events and Controller
events. Now you can move or copy the notes, and the Controllers will be moved or copied too.
You can also copy, move, and delete Controller events without affecting other data. First select
the desired Controller events in the Controllers pane, then use the Edit menu’s Cut, Copy, Paste,
or Delete commands. The Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V keyboard shortcuts also work, as well as
the Delete key.
Staff view enhancements
Percussion notation “ghost stroke” support
In percussion notation, parentheses around a note mean that it is a "ghost stroke," played very
lightly and barely heard. Cakewalk currently supports this by displaying parentheses around any
percussion note event with velocity less than 32, a fixed, arbitrary threshold. You can adjust the
Vel+ of the track vs. the velocities of the individual notes to effectively move this threshold
without changing the way the note sounds.
Inserting measures
The User's Guide mentions an "Insert Measures" command. It is mistaken. If you want to open up
measures of silence in a song, you can use any one of the following methods:
∙1 Select the events and use the Cut and Paste editing commands (or the Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V
keyboard shortcuts for these commands.)
or
∙2 Split the clips where you want the empty measure. Select the clips, rightclick on them,
and choose the Split command (see the User’s Guide for steps on using Split.) Next, turn
Snap to Grid on, and set the Snap to Grid value to Whole note. Then drag the newlysplit
events over by one or more measures.
or
∙3 In some cases, you can use the Edit | Slide command for inserting measures. Keep in
mind though that the Slide command won't move tempo and meter/key changes.
An important note about ActiveMovie
Microsoft has changed the name of their ActiveMovie technology, a plugin format that
Cakewalk Pro Audio uses for audio effects. As of March 31, 1997, the official name of this
technology is DirectX.
The Cakewalk 6.0 User’s Guide describes an "ActiveMovie" menu that appears on the Edit |
Audio submenu, and in the Audio view’s Inspector menu. You access the DirectX plugins
through this menu, or through the Edit | Audio | ActiveMovie submenu.
Audio plugins that use the ActiveMovie/DirectX format work as described in the User’s Guide.
See the “Audio Editing Commands” and “Effects View” chapters for details.
Exporting audio events as Wave files
You can use the File | Utilities | Export Audio to Wave command to export audio events as a
stereo .WAV file. However, Export Audio to Wave is not intended as a generalpurpose
"mixdown" function; it won’t always recreate exactly what Cakewalk plays. Your exported Wave
files may sound slightly different from the audio you hear when playing back your sequence, in
two ways:
5. Any Controller 7 (volume) and Controller 10 (pan) events that appear in audio tracks will
be left out of the exported audio. All audio volume will be computed solely on the basis of
the track Volume, Pan, and Vel+ properties, plus each event's velocity.
6. The newlyexported files will not include any realtime effects added in the Effects view.
Realtime effects are added "onthefly" during playback, just like effects that you might add
during mixdown using outboard effects processors. Therefore, the realtime effects are never
stored permanently as audio. This lets you use the same audio events in different songs, with
different effects each time.
If you want to create .WAV mixdowns of your audio tracks, here’s one method (you need a full
duplex sound card, preferably with digital I/O): Arm a fresh pair of audio tracks for recording.
Route the output of the sound card to the input. Next, start playback/recording in Cakewalk; this
rerecords the final output mix into the fresh pair of tracks. Finally, select only those two tracks,
and choose Export Audio to Wave.
If you don’t have a fullduplex sound card, try this instead: Copy the audio you want to export to
one or more unused "scratch" tracks and use the effects commands in the Edit | Audio submenu
on the copied audio. (Be sure not to use linked clips in these scratch tracks!) For more about these
commands, see the "Audio Editing Commands" chapter in the User’s Guide. When you’re done
exporting waves, you can just delete or archive these scratch tracks.
Tip: If you’ve worked hard at tweaking your effects parameters for playback, and you want to
apply the same settings to the copied audio, be sure to take advantage of Cakewalk Pro Audio’s
Presets feature. Presets let you easily save and recall your Cakewalk effects settings for use at any
time, even in different song files. You can read more about Presets in the "Navigation" chapter in
the User’s Guide.
Real-time effects and processor speed
To properly use realtime effects in Effects view, you need a computer with a Pentium 100 MHz
or faster processor. Even with such a powerful CPU, there is a limit on the number of effects you
can use simultaneously. Furthermore, different types of effects are "more expensive" in terms of
how much CPU they consume. For example, Reverb is relatively expensive, whereas the 2band
EQ effect is relatively inexpensive.
A good strategy is to use an expensive effect like Reverb in an Effects Loop. That way, you can
have several audio tracks share one effect. You can then individually adjust each track’s send and
return levels.
Finally, no matter how slow your CPU is, you can always use any effect by applying it to the
audio as an offline edit command. See the "Audio Editing Commands" chapter in the User’s
Guide for more information on these commands.
Track volume and audio event velocities
If you try using an older version of Cakewalk to play files created in Cakewalk 6.0, you may
notice that audio tracks play back at a different volume. This is because Cakewalk 6.0 uses a
different technique for mapping track volumes and event velocities to audio volumes (in dB.)
Note, however, that 6.0 will always play back older files at the proper volume.
StudioWare Tutorial correction
Step 4 under "Create new Widget Properties" (on page 115 of the User's Guide) is wrong. The
step should read:
4. Choose "Pitch Wheel" in the Primary Action Kind field. Then type "Track2Pitch" in the
Amount field.
StudioWare enhancements
StudioWare view and audio tracks
When you select one or more tracks playing on audio ports and choose View | New | Panel, the
Panel is different than it is for a MIDI track. You get an Arm button and send and return level
controls for Effects Loop 1. This makes it easier to work with realtime audio effects that you
have set up in that Effects Loop in the Effects view.
Arm button
Audio tracks have an Arm button instead of the Chorus knob supplied for MIDI tracks. This kind
of button will be familiar to anyone who uses multitrack recording gear — the button lets you
arm (record enable) or disarm (record disable) the track. Having an Arm button is especially
useful for audio tracks, as opposed to MIDI tracks, because you often need to arm multiple audio
tracks at once.
Note that on a generic Windows sound card, you can only arm two tracks at a time, because there
are only two input channels available. If you try to arm a third track, Cakewalk will automatically
disarm some other track. Oddnumbered tracks are always armed for the left channel, and even
numbered tracks are armed for the right channel.
Send knob
Panels for audio tracks also have a Send knob instead of the Reverb knob supplied for MIDI
tracks. The Send knob is assigned to Controller 91, channel 1 (i.e., the send level out to Effects
Loop 1.) So if you’ve put effects in Effects Loop 1 in the Effects view, the Send knob is a quick
and easy way to control the send level.
Return cluster
Any Panel containing at least one audio track has an extra "Return" cluster. The Return cluster
controls the volume and pan of the return level coming in from Effects Loop 1. In other words,
the Return cluster’s Pan knob has been assigned to Controller 93, channel 1, and its Volume fader
has been assigned to Controller 92, channel 1. Just as with send levels, these controls make it easy
to control and automate effects return levels.
Widget Properties Channel field
There is a "Channel" property in the Design mode Widget Properties dialog. This field appears
when you select an Action Kind that sends events via MIDI. The Channel field selects the MIDI
channel on which the widget will send its events. You can choose 116, a simple alias, a
calculated expression, or a formula.
Closing a StudioWare view
If you have changed a StudioWare Panel in Design mode, and you try to close the StudioWare
view without saving it first, you will see a warning. Click Cancel and click the Save button to
save the Panel, or click OK to discard the Panel.
If you save a workfile, any open Panels will be saved as part of the workfile. Note that if you
want the Panels to be open when you reload the song file, you must check "When Opening a File,
Load its Layout" under View | Layouts.
You can save a Panel at any time by clicking the StudioWare view’s Save button. This will let
you use the View | Layouts command to open the Panel and use it with any workfile.
Advanced Panel programming
The text at the bottom of page 299 reads: "A complete description of the expression syntax is
beyond the scope of this manual, but some samples follow:" The samples were omitted; they are
shown below:
Formula: Example:
x = y Alias x is assigned the value of alias y whenever the value of alias y
changes.
x = y + 2 * z Alias x is assigned the value of alias y plus 2 times the value of alias z
whenever either y or z changes.
x = (y + 2) * z Alias x is assigned the value of alias y plus 2, then multiplied by the
value of alias z whenever either y or z changes.
x = y | z Alias x is assigned the value of alias y bitwise ORed with the value of
alias z whenever either y or z changes. If y==0xF0 and z==0x0F, then x
is set to 0xFF.
Widget bitmaps
Horizontal and vertical slider bitmaps
You may notice that horizontal sliders use the same "thumb" as the vertical sliders. You can
change this by entering Design mode, rightclicking on the slider, and choosing Foreground
Bitmap. Click "None" in the dialog box that appears. This will change the slider’s thumb so that
it better fits the horizontal slider.
To go back to the thumb for a vertical slider, enter Design mode, rightclick on the slider, and
choose Foreground Bitmap. Then click Default, and the slider will return to its original look.
Suppressing the display of all widget bitmaps
You can force Cakewalk to hide all widget bitmaps while in Use mode (except those in Image
widgets) for faster screen updates. To do this, type the following line in the [WinCake]section
of the [Link] file:
[WinCake]
PanelsShowWidgetBitmaps=0
To let widgets show their bitmaps again, change the entry to:
[WinCake]
PanelsShowWidgetBitmaps=1
You can also change these options within Cakewalk by using Settings | Initialization File. You
must then restart Cakewalk for the settings to take effect.
Note: Bitmaps are always displayed in Design mode, so that you can edit them.
Copying widgets
There is an error on page 283 in the User’s Guide. Using Shift+Drag will not copy a widget. To
copy a widget, select it and hold down the Ctrl key while you drag a copy to a new location. Then
release the mouse button.
Widget groups and group ranges
The User’s Guide describes widget groups on page 293; we would like to clarify this section.
∙4 You set min and max values in Design mode Widget Properties. Min and max values are
what the widget will send at its start and end positions, respectively. (For example, when a
knob is rotated all the way counterclockwise, it’s at its start position; when rotated all the
way clockwise, it’s at its end position.) The min and max values also define the highest and
lowest values that a widget can send or receive.
∙5 You set up group ranges in Use mode, to control things like submixes and crossfades. A
group range defines how a widget will move relative to other widgets in the same group.
There isn’t any field for entering these ranges; you just hold the Shift key and drag each
grouped widget to a new position. When you release the Shift key and move the widgets,
you’ll see that they move according to how you arranged them.
Note that the min and max values discussed on pages 294 and 295 (under "Group Examples")
refer to group ranges, and not the values that you define in Widget Properties. This may seem
confusing, but just try grouping some widgets and setting their group ranges using the
examples on those pages. Doing this should help you see how group ranges affect grouped
widgets.
In short: First you set the min and max values in the Design mode Widget Properties dialog. Then
you group some widgets. Finally, you set up group ranges that tell the grouped widgets how to
move within their min and max values.
Grouping widgets in Use mode
You can group and ungroup widgets while in Use mode. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on
widgets to add them to a group. Hold Ctrl and click on any grouped widget to remove it from the
group.
Faders templates and StudioWare Panels
As you may have noticed, Cakewalk StudioWare is similar to the Faders view from Cakewalk
5.0. StudioWare goes far beyond the Faders view, which was mostly limited to Controller number
changes. StudioWare gives you even greater control over products like the Yamaha ProMix 01
and the Roland VS880, and lets you send more kinds of data, including Sysx and MCI
commands. Though you cannot directly convert any old Faders templates into StudioWare
Panels, we are offering new StudioWare versions of the Faders view templates we used to supply.
If you want to quickly call up a set of controls for mixing your song, select one or more tracks
and choose the View | New | Panel command. This automatically creates a default Panel similar
to the old Faders view, with one fader group for each selected track.
See the "Sample Files" section of this document for a list of StudioWare Panels included with
Cakewalk Pro Audio 6.0.
Window layouts enhancements
We’ve improved Cakewalk’s window layouts feature so that you can better control how
Cakewalk Pro Audio looks each time you start it.
Choosing View | Layouts opens the Window Layouts dialog box. Window layouts consist of
currently open windows, their positions, and the tracks (if any) that each window shows. You can
save this window layout any time you want, and load it into files of your choice later. Every time
you save a Cakewalk .WRK file, its current layout is saved too. You can automatically reset
Cakewalk’s window arrangement to this saved state when loading a file, if you want. Your songs
can all use the same layout, or use different ones — it’s entirely up to you.
When you save a StudioWare Panel, it will also appear as a layout in this dialog box.
Adding and loading layouts
To add a new layout, just arrange your windows as desired. Choose View | Layouts, and click
Add. Type a name for the layout, then click OK. The Window Layouts list will grow each time
you add a new layout. Whenever you want to apply one of your layouts to a view, highlight the
layout you want in the list, and click Load.
Replacing, renaming, and deleting layouts
If you change an open layout that already exists, and you want to replace the original layout, just
choose View | Layouts and highlight its name in the list. Click Add, then click OK without
changing its name. You will be asked if you want to replace it, and you can click Yes.
To rename a layout, highlight it and click Rename. Type in a new name and click OK.
To delete a layout, highlight it and click Delete. You can’t undo this, so be sure that you really
want to delete the layout.
Window layouts options
You have two options for using layouts with songs. The first is "Close Old Windows Before
Loading New Ones." Checking this means that Cakewalk will close all windows that a newly
loaded layout doesn't use. If you leave it unchecked, open windows will stay open when you load
a new song.
The second option only applies to layouts saved in workfiles and templates. Check "When
Opening a File, Load its Layout" if you want Cakewalk to reset the windows and views to each
file's saved layout whenever you open a file.
Layout and StudioWare default directories
By default, Cakewalk looks for layouts and StudioWare Panels in your workfile directory. If you
want to choose where you store your layouts and Panels, and still access them through View |
Layouts, you can specify the directories where Cakewalk will look for these files. You do this by
typing LayoutFileDir and StudioWareFileDir options and path names in the [WinCake]section
of the [Link] file. Here is an example:
[WinCake]
StudioWareFileDir=c:\Panels
LayoutFileDir=c:\Layouts
You can also change these options within Cakewalk by using Settings | Initialization File. You
must then restart Cakewalk for the settings to take effect.
Once you’ve done this, choose View | Layouts, and you will see all the Layouts and StudioWare
files that are stored in the directories you specified.
See "Appendix D" in the User’s Guide for more about changing the [Link] file.
Other notes
Window layouts are saved in your default Cakewalk directory, and have a
.CakewalkWindowLayout extension. StudioWare Panel layouts are also saved in this directory,
and have the .CakewalkStudioWare extension.
Tip: If you want Cakewalk to use a certain layout when you create a new file, you can arrange
windows in an empty file, and save the file as a template; give the template a name like "New" or
"General MIDI Authoring." (Be sure to make a backup copy of Cakewalk’s [Link] file first,
just to be safe.) Now when you open a new file using your template, and you’ve checked "When
Opening a File, Load its Layout," Cakewalk will arrange the screen the way you like. For more
information on templates, see Appendix F in the User’s Guide.
Stretch Audio and tempo changes
The User's Guide mentions a "Stretch Audio" option at the bottom of page 398. Note that you can
turn the option on and off by checking or unchecking the Stretch Audio checkbox in the Tempo
dialog box.
If the Stretch Audio option is on, Cakewalk will shrink or stretch all audio in the song to conform
to tempo changes. This is good if you want to change the tempo, and the audio is already lined up
with measure boundaries. Let's say you've recorded vocals into a song. Click on the Tempo
window in the Control bar, check the Stretch Audio option, and click OK. Now when you insert
tempo changes or use the Control bar's tempo scroll buttons, the vocals will stretch or shrink to
stay lined up with measures and with other events you may have recorded.
Note: When the Stretch Audio option is on and you change the tempo, a dialog box will appear
with the message "Processing audio data."
If the Stretch Audio option is off, Cakewalk will not change the length of audio events when you
change the tempo. Sometimes when importing a .WAV file, you have to adjust the tempo in
Cakewalk in order to have the measure boundaries align with the imported audio. For example, a
lot of drum groove CDROMs contain grooves at fixed tempos (like 112 bpm.) If you import
such a .WAV file and you need to change the song's tempo, turn the Stretch Audio option off.
That way, the imported groove will stay at its original length, and changing the tempo will let you
line up the groove with measure boundaries.
Note: The Stretch Audio option is off by default for tempo changes that you make using the
Control bar.
Audio Event Properties Material field
The "Material" field has been removed from the Audio Event Properties dialog box. You can
choose the material type for audio by changing the Patch property on any track assigned to an
audio port.
∙6 The first time you play any audio, the pitch of the audio seems to fluctuate wildly.
∙7 Every time you play audio, it sounds "fuzzy" and is consistently higher or lower in pitch.
The next few paragraphs will explain what's going on, and will give you some tips on how to
remedy these unwanted sideeffects.
As you read this section, keep a simple analogy in mind: Synchronizing audio to SMPTE is like
trying to catch up with another car on the freeway, and then staying neckandneck. If the car is
ahead of you, you'll need to drive faster to catch up, and if it's behind you, you'll have to slow
down. Once you're caught up, staying caught up means changing your speed only if the other car
changes its speed.
Getting caught up
The first time you play audio in a Cakewalk session, it has to "catch up" to the external SMPTE
clock. This could mean "racing ahead," which would raise the pitch of the audio, or "hitting the
brakes," which would lower the pitch of the audio. These wild fluctuations in pitch last as long as
it takes for Cakewalk to get fully caught up – at worst no more than 30 seconds.
Why does Cakewalk have to do all this catching up in the first place? Because no two clocks ever
run at the same pace. Your SMPTE timing source contains one clock, and your sound card
contains another clock. The SMPTE clock decides that 1 second has elapsed after it has counted a
certain number of video frames, while the sound card clock decides that 1 second has elapsed
after it has played several thousand audio samples. The bottom line is that both clocks are running
independently of each other, without reference to each other.
Therefore, when Cakewalk is catching up, it's actually figuring out the difference in rates between
these two clocks, making increasingly better "guesses" until it gets it right. This difference in
clock rates translates directly into a change in pitch, which explains why you hear pitch
fluctuations the first time you press Play. Also, the bigger the difference in clock rates, the more
noticeable the pitchshift, which means that the initial pitch fluctuations will be more severe if the
SMPTE signal is coming from unreliable (analog) gear.
Staying caught up
If the SMPTE timing source was 100% stable and never wobbled, Cakewalk's job would
basically be done. It would just continue to apply the difference in clock rates to the audio,
keeping audio in perfect sync with the SMPTE clock. However, no timing source is perfect. So
every once a while, Cakewalk may need vary the speed by a minuscule amount in order to stay
caught up.
Important: Being caught up still means that Cakewalk is applying a pitch shift to your
audio tracks. If you've got an accurate and steady SMPTE clock source, then this pitch shift is
extremely minor and probably imperceptible. However, if you're chasing to an analog SMPTE
clock source, the pitch shift may become more noticeable. Also, analog mechanisms are usually
unsteady, so you will hear the pitch "wobble" more frequently as Cakewalk tries to catch up to
adjust itself.
(Again, take yourself back into your car on the freeway. You've caught up to the other car, but the
other driver occasionally speeds up or slows down a tiny bit. If you want to stay caught up, you
have to speed up or slow down a bit too.)
Unfortunately, all of this pitch shifting causes distortion. Depending on what kind of audio
material you're working with (and depending on your ears!), there may be enough distortion to be
a nuisance. We've improved the sound immensely in version 6.0 by adding an option for a "high
quality" SMPTE sync mode (found under Settings | Audio Options | Advanced in Cakewalk.)
Doing this procedure ensures that Cakewalk knows the difference in rates between the SMPTE
and audio clocks. Cakewalk will then remain caught up for the remainder of the session and will
continue to play at the rate it last knew to be correct, with only occasional minor rate adjustments
as they become necessary.
Note: If you've recorded audio while slaving to SMPTE, and there was distortion or pitch
fluctuation while you recorded, then these effects will unfortunately be part of the audio data, and
will be there even if you switch back to audio clock in Cakewalk. Though this is due to the
stretching algorithm that Cakewalk uses, remember that audio must be stretched to stay in sync
during both record and playback.
Full MMC Auto Punch
Auto Punch works for all MMC devices that support onthefly recording. (In past versions of
Cakewalk, Auto Punch was restricted to only those devices that supported the MMC Event
command.)
If all MMC features work except for Auto Punch record mode, your equipment probably doesn't
support the MMC Event command. (Consult with the manufacturer if you aren't sure.) You can
overcome this limitation by adding the following line to the Options section of your [Link]
file, which can be found in your Cakewalk Pro Audio directory:
[Options]
MMCUseEvent=0
Make sure you restart Cakewalk for the new setting to take effect. This mode causes Cakewalk to
send MMC commands to perform automated punches during recording. This method is less
precise than use of preprogrammed events, so only use this setting if necessary.
Chord dialog Import button
In the Staff view, when you rightclick on a chord event, you get the Chord Properties dialog.
This has an Import button, which allows an existing chord library to be merged into your current
chord library. This is especially useful when you install a new version of Cakewalk and you've
added your own chords to the chord library that you don't want to lose.
Cakewalk installation will never overwrite the existing chord library, which is in file
[Link]; it will copy the new chord library to [Link] if [Link] already
exists. You can then use the Chord dialog Import button to import the new chords from
[Link] without losing your own chords. The Import function checks each chord
carefully to avoid creating duplicates.
Due to the large number of chords in the standard chord library, the Import function may take a
long time to complete. If you are sure that you never added chords of your own to the library,
then you can simply copy [Link] to [Link] to get the new library.
Note: The chord library in 6.0 has been updated from 5.0 – some chords have been added, while
other duplicate chords have been removed. Also, all barred chords have been updated so each
strings sounds when you press the Play button in the Chord Properties dialog box.
Panic strength
The Panic button stops playback and turns off any "stuck notes." There are two ways a MIDI
note can be turned off: By a noteoff message or by MIDI Controller number 123 ("all notes
off.") By default, Panic uses Controller 123 only.
This may not work for some older synthesizers. If so, set PanicStrength=1 in the [WINCAKE]
section of [Link], or within Cakewalk by using Settings | Initialization File.
Panic will send a noteoff message for every note on every channel of every port. This makes
Panic much slower but will resolve the problem.
MIDI activity monitor
The MIDI activity monitor is the small keyboardshaped icon next to the clock in the taskbar. The
figure on page 119 of the User’s Guide incorrectly points to another icon.
Hardware-specific information
MIDI Time Piece tips and tricks
Below are comments to help you use the MIDI Time Piece (MTP) made by Mark of the Unicorn
(MOTU.)
MIDI output port restriction
A problem with the initial release of Windows 95 restricts the number of MIDI output ports to 11.
There is no known workaround for this problem. This means that you can’t access all 16 ports
when using a pair of MTPs.
System Exclusive tips
"FAST 1X" mode of the MTP may exhibit strange behavior with System Exclusive send. This is
a result of the MTP's "middleman" processing techniques. The MTP Windows driver won’t send
System Exclusive through the MTP byte by byte; instead, the MTP stores System Exclusive in a
buffer to be sent out in larger, faster packets. This causes checksum errors on a Sound Canvas, for
example.
We are able to send System Exclusive to the Sound Canvas in FAST 1X mode by lowering the
[Link]'s SysxSendPacketSize parameter to 344. However, note that if you want to try
this yourself, you’ll need to find a number that works on your computer system. In short, use
FAST 1X mode with System Exclusive "at your own risk."
MOTU starting template
MOTU provides a starting template for their setup software called [Link]. Make sure
that this is loaded before using the MTP as an interface in Cakewalk Pro Audio. The MTP driver
will access the MTP's current state as configured by [Link] rather than reinitializing it.
This will let you customize the provided template using MOTU's MTP software, and then access
this setup in the Windows driver.
Connecting two MTPs
When connecting two MTPs together for 16 input/output ports, put the unit assigned to ports 18
first in the chain. Then connect the network cable from the back of the first unit to the network
input on the second unit (ports 916.)
Using the sync input port
Since the MTP has a 17th port for sync input, you will see this in the Cakewalk Pro Audio MIDI
Devices list as a separate input port. Cakewalk Pro Audio supports a maximum of 16 input ports.
If you have two MTPs using all 16 input ports and are using SMPTE sync, deactivate one input
port in MIDI Devices so that you can use the 16th available input port as your sync port. Also,
sync audio input should be read on the first MTP. This configuration is based on the routings of
the provided [Link] template.
General information about GPFs (General Protection Faults)
In general, if you're experiencing GPFs when printing from Cakewalk, try the following:
∙8 Lower the printing resolution. For example, if the printer is configured to use 600dpi, try
300dpi.
∙9 Use another driver. If the latest driver doesn't work, see if the printer can emulate another
printer, and use the driver for that printer instead.
∙10 Lower the screen resolution of your monitor. For example, if you're using 1024x768, try
800x600 or 640x480. The video driver might interfere with printing. As a test, try to use the
generic VGA video driver that is included with Windows.
HP Deskjet printers
HP 500, 600, and 800
The drivers that ship with Hewlett Packard 500, 600, and 800 series Deskjet color printers cause a
GPF when printing from Cakewalk. Use the generic Deskjet driver from the Windows 95 CD
ROM (or diskettes.) Unlike MIDI drivers, you can have multiple printer drivers installed, but use
the plain Deskjet driver when printing from Cakewalk.
HP 870C, 660C, 680C, and 690C
You may have problems when printing from Cakewalk to these printers. Here is a workaround:
7. Go into Cakewalk, and choose File | Print Setup.
8. Select Landscape paper orientation and Grayscale mode. Click OK.
9. Choose File | Print Preview.
10. Click on the Configure Button.
11. Make sure that Choice #2 is selected (Regular, Common, or Ordinary.) Some printers
also let you use #4 Peter, which allows faster printing on few pages.
12. Click OK to close that window.
13. Click on the Print button; the sheet music should now print.
HP 820Cse and 850C
As of 3/20/97, there are no drivers available that will let you use the HP Deskjet 820Cse with
Cakewalk. Please contact Hewlett Packard to see if an updated driver has become available.
If you have problems with the Deskjet 850C, try the Deskjet 540 or 550 driver.
Canon BJC printers
You may have problems when trying to print from Cakewalk to certain Canon BJC printers. The
following workarounds and fixes are available:
∙11 The BJC620 has been reported to work with the BJC600e driver.
∙12 The Canon BJC610 is able to emulate dozens of printers, and the Epson LQ2550 driver
seems to solve the problem.
∙13 If you're using a Canon BJC600, set the printer to "Normal" instead of "Enhanced
Black."
∙14 The Canon BJC10sx should work with the Epson LQ510 driver.

Gravis UltraSound
Cakewalk Pro Audio supports sound cards that use "patch caching," such as the Gravis
UltraSound. These cards load sounds from your hard drive as needed. If you are using this kind of
sound card, the Update Patch Cache command on the Realtime menu will be enabled. When
you choose this command, Cakewalk examines your song to see which patch numbers you have
used. It gives this list to the sound card, which loads the required sounds. This process can take
some time, so Cakewalk lets you decide when to use Update Patch Cache to "recalculate" the
patches used. (Cakewalk also performs the "recalculation" when you use File | Open or File |
New to open or clear a song file.)
If you are using the Play List view, please be aware that there may be a delay between songs,
because the sounds required for the next song need to be loaded. This doesn’t mean that there is a
problem with Cakewalk. This is just the way such a sound card must work.
WARNING: SCSI hard drives
The installation of most Windows MIDI drivers also installs a virtual device driver ("VxD"). For
example, this file is VMPUD.386 for our [Link] driver (MPU401).
The purpose of the VxD
The Twelve Tone Systems VxD reads the card's base address from [Link] (which you set
using Control Panel Driver Setup) and traps accesses from that address to that address plus 10h
(10 hex or 16 decimal.) The goal of this VxD is simply to prevent DOS programs from accessing
the card and interfering with the Windows driver's handling of the card while Windows is
running. If an access is detected, the VxD displays an error message and simulates a dead card to
the "offending" DOS program. The Twelve Tone Systems VxD is based on the original Microsoft
VxD sample code and works the same way over the same address range.
Why are addresses trapped from the base address to the base address plus 10h, when supposedly
the MPUcompatible cards only use addresses from the base address to the base address plus 1?
Many MPUcompatible cards, such as the original Roland MPU401 and Music Quest cards,
actually respond to other addresses within that 10h range. When set at base address 330h, the
Music Quest PC MIDI card has been reported to respond to 332h337h as well, and the MPU401
has been reported to respond to 338h339h. Apparently, these cards do not decode all the address
lines. Thus the safest, mostcomplete approach when dealing with MPUcompatible cards is for
the VxD trap the whole range of 10h addresses.
The potential problem with SCSI cards
Unfortunately, it has also been reported that if the access comes from a SCSI card trying to access
a SCSI hard drive within DOS, the error message never appears and DOS hangs. Hard drive
data loss is possible. SCSI card owners should beware of setting their SCSI card address
anywhere within this range. If it doesn't conflict with the card directly, then it will conflict with
the VxD like this in enhanced mode if it's installed. If you're sure it doesn't conflict with your
card, you can decide to forego the VxD protection by removing the VxD.
Removing a VxD .386 file
If you decide it's safe to remove the VxD, here's how to do it. Although Control Panel's driver
installation knows how to install the VxD file associated with a driver, its driver removal does not
know how to remove it. Therefore, an installed VxD will remain forever installed, unless you
remove it manually. To do this, edit [Link] with a text editor like the Windows Notepad.
Find the line DEVICE=VMPUD.386 or DEVICE=VMQXD.386 under the section [386Enh] and
delete it. Save the file and restart Windows. If you ever reinstall the driver using Control Panel,
you'll have to do this again.
Sample files
The following sample files are installed automatically by Cakewalk Pro Audio SETUP.
StudioWare View Layouts (.CakewalkStudioWare) and Template
Files (.TPL)
Cakewalk Pro Audio comes with sample StudioWare Panels. Some of these are available by
choosing View | Layouts and doubleclicking on the StudioWare icons (the icons with pictures of
"sliders" and "buttons" on them.) Others are included within template (.TPL) files.
Cakewalk Pro Audio 6.0 ships with these StudioWare Panels:
Panel: Format:
Mackie OTTO 1604 .CakewalkStudioWare and .TPL
MMC (A generic Panel
for products that support
MIDI Machine Control) .CakewalkStudioWare
Roland SoundCanvas .CakewalkStudioWare
Roland VS880 .CakewalkStudioWare
Session 8 .CakewalkStudioWare and .TPL
Tascam RC808 .CakewalkStudioWare
Yamaha ProMix 01 .CakewalkStudioWare and .TPL
DNA Grooves (.GRV)
A sample groove file, Cakewalk DNA [Link], is included. This contains approximately a
dozen groove patterns for use with the Groove Quantize command. Please see the [Link] file for
more information.
Work files (.WRK)
Various Cakewalk song files are included for your learning and entertainment pleasure!
Template files (.TPL)
Example of templates that make it easy to start a new WRK file for a particular purpose.
Bundle files (.BUN)
Cakewalk comes with "bundle" files, which are used to transport MIDI and audio in a single file.
These files demonstrate synchronized playback of digital audio and MIDI.
Cakewalk installs two complete bundle files on your hard drive:
∙16 RIFFUNK Audio and MIDI [Link]
∙17 RIFFRAFF Audio and MIDI [Link]
Cakewalk also installs icons for .BUN file versions of Charlie Farren’s "Love Street" and
"Animal Dance." Note that your Cakewalk Pro Audio CDROM must be in the CDROM drive
for these two .BUN files to play back (the files are very large, so Cakewalk reads them from the
CDROM rather than installing them onto your hard drive.)
CAL files (.CAL)
Examples of various program files for the Cakewalk Application Language.
Playlist files (.PLY) and Set files (.SET)
You can load the sample Set files in Cakewalk’s Playlist view. You can use the Virtual Jukebox
utility to play the sample Set files and Playlist files.
TECHniques on-screen tutorials
Cakewalk Pro Audio SETUP will install several TECHniques onscreen tutorials. Each
TECHniques tutorial file covers a different topic, from basic selection to audio effects. You can
find these files in the Start menu program group for Cakewalk Pro Audio.
When you open a tutorial, it automatically launches the Lotus ScreenCam program and starts
playing. When a lesson finishes playing, always be sure to close ScreenCam by clicking the Exit
button on the Lotus ScreenCam control panel.
CD audio tracks!
The Cakewalk Pro Audio 6.0 CDROM includes two CD audio tracks, "Love Street" and
"Animal Dance," both by Charlie Farren. You can play these tracks on any CD player, or on your
computer if you have CDplayer software. Play tracks 2 and 3 to hear the songs.
Instrument definitions
Instrument definitions help Cakewalk understand the way a particular synthesizer works. This
enables Cakewalk to adjust some of its features, making them easier for you to use.
If a definition doesn't exist for your particular synthesizer, that doesn't mean that it's incompatible
with Cakewalk. Certain features (like choosing patches) won't be quite as easy or automatic, but
they won't be impossible. Remember too that you can create your own instrument definitions for
use with your MIDI gear.
For a full explanation of instrument definitions, please see the sections on the Settings |
Instruments command in the User’s Guide.
Upgrading from an earlier version
Cakewalk SETUP does not overwrite your existing [Link] file. That file contains the
instrument definitions that Cakewalk loads every time it starts. SETUP installs new .INS files for
each supported manufacturer. These files contain the latest complete set of available instrument
definitions.
To learn how to import any of these .INS files, see "Importing and exporting instrument
definitions" in the User’s Guide.
Roland SR-JV80 series expansion boards
Cakewalk Pro Audio 6.0 includes instrument definitions for many of the Roland SRJV80 Series
expansion boards. In order to use these patch lists properly, you must add banks to existing
Roland JV/XP instrument definitions. This section will show you how to add banks from these
expansion boards.
14. Open Cakewalk, and go to Settings | Instruments. Click on the Define button to open
the Define Instruments and Names dialog box.
15. Click the Import button.
16. Select [Link], then click Open.
17. Select "Roland SRJV80 Expansion Boards," then click OK.
All of the Roland SRJV80 Expansion Boards patch names have now been imported, but this
instrument definition will not work by itself. It is just a placeholder for the individual expansion
board patch names. You can safely delete the Roland SRJV80 Expansion Boards instrument
definition if you wish, since the individual Patch Name lists will remain.
To use the expansion board Patch Names, you must add new banks to an existing Roland JV/XP
instrument definition (e.g., Roland JV1080, XP50, or XP80.) To add a new bank to an existing
instrument definition, you must know the bank number of the new bank. The expansion board
slot bank numbers are:
The steps below show you how to add one of the expansion board Patch Name lists to an existing
instrument definition. For example, if you have the Roland XP50 with the SRJV8004 Vintage
Synth expansion board installed in slot A, do the following:
18. Import the Roland XP50 and Roland SRJV80 Expansion Boards instrument definitions
(if you haven’t already done so.)
19. Expand the Roland XP50 branch until you can see the Patch Names for Banks branch.
20. Expand the Names tree so you can see all the individual Patch Name branches.
21. Drag the SRJV8004 Vintage Synth 1128 list from the Names tree to the Patch Names
for Banks folder (or over an existing bank.) Release the mouse button, and enter the proper
bank number. According to the list above, we know that patches 1128 in expansion slot A
uses bank # 10752, so enter that number.
22. Drag the SRJV8004 Vintage Synth 129255 list from the Names tree to the Patch
Names for Banks folder (or over an existing bank.) Release the mouse button, and enter the
proper bank number. According to the list above, we know that patches 129255 in expansion
slot A uses bank # 10753, so enter that number.
You can repeat this process for any other expansion boards that you have.
Other notes
Virtual Piano
Cakewalk Pro Audio includes Virtual PianoTM, an onscreen musical keyboard. Virtual Piano
turns your computer keyboard and mouse into a simple MIDI instrument for playing notes. You
may use it with any Windows program, including Cakewalk Pro Audio, as a substitute for an
external MIDI keyboard.
Cakewalk Pro Audio SETUP automatically installs the Virtual Piano application and its
companion MIDI driver.
Important: You must perform an additional step to make sure Cakewalk will accept input from
the Virtual Piano MIDI driver. Choose Settings | MIDI Devices, and select the Virtual Piano
driver in the list of input ports. This input port is how the Virtual Piano sends notes to Cakewalk.
You can start Virtual Piano from Cakewalk by choosing the Virtual Piano command from the
Realtime menu. The shortcut key for this command is Ctrl+K. Virtual Piano uses the same key to
switch back to Cakewalk. Therefore, you can move between the two programs quickly by typing
Ctrl+K.
For more information about Virtual Piano, see the "Tools Menu" chapter in the User’s Guide.
Lyrics view, CAL view, and special keys
The shortcut keys for starting and stopping playback (Spacebar, P), recording (R), and rewinding
(W), do not work in some circumstances. If the Lyrics view or CAL view is active, then you use
these keys to type spaces and characters. For example, you need to be able to type spaces in your
lyrics, so the Spacebar lets you do that instead of starting and stopping playback!
Note that if the Lyrics view or CAL view is minimized (an icon) and you click on the icon, that
becomes the active view. The title beneath the icon is highlighted. Even though you are not
displaying the window at its normal size, it is still the active window. Thus the shortcut keys for
playback, recording, and rewinding do not work. Make another window active (for example by
clicking on it) to regain the use of these keys as shortcuts.
Dump Request Macros
When you press the Receive button in the Sysx window, you may pick from a list of Dump
Request Macros. These are short System Exclusive messages sent to a synthesizer to make it
dump (send back) System Exclusive data. DRMs are defined in your [Link] file in the
[Dump Request Macros] section. You may add your own DRMs or modify the ones that we have
provided. Use the Windows Notepad to edit the file.
Please note that many DRMs have been donated by customers who are using the particular
equipment. In some cases we have not been able to test those DRMs because we do not have
access to that equipment. We are redistributing such DRMs on an asis basis. Additional user
supplied DRMs may be available on BBSs like CompuServe.
Mail support
Cakewalk Pro Audio lets you send files via Microsoft Mail or any other mail system that offers
the MAPI Simple Mail Interface. If you have installed such a mail system, Cakewalk Pro Audio
will automatically add a Send command to its File menu. Choosing Send will call up the
standard MAPI dialog box with the current Cakewalk Pro Audio song file attached to the
message.
