for posterity I found this: The last item from cactus studios esp useful. It seems it was an exclusivity setup issue for me. Best Istvan

Hi, Happy new year. I bought a volt 1 all went well, but I have an issue. If I set the volt to the input output the keyboard does not work. If I set it to the Music maker asio it works, but then I do not use the volt. Please advise I do not know what is wrong. If I use a standalone instrument then the keyboard KK32 will not work either. It works with Windows audio. thanks Istvan

Dear Teknot. Many thanks for your suggestion. I tried your steps. There is a problem that I have SM player only, but the vst3 roll down menu shows midi output is on, I had no option to set as you show in the picture. All other things I followed and it did not work. As you see nothing is written into the string section midi track. Maybe the failure is due tot that I have only a player or I made some mistake in the routing. Thanks anyway! Istvan

Dear Outrage production. Many thanks for your kind help. It is working as you suggested. There are 2 problems: -When I try to insert another Kontakt instrument there will be an error msg that the Kontakt is improperly installed. If I change back the option setup it will still come back the error msg and I have to insert another instrument and replace it with Kontakt. Strange but doable -the other issue is it seems this is only works with the cakewalk internal arp (see record 3). - for Kontakt 7.2 I used instrument modular icons with adriatic wave patch the same way. Here the instrument have their own sequencer. However as you see the recording resulted only the original notes not the arpeggiated ones. Many thanks again!!

Thanks for all your kind help Sir, Have a Merry Christmas.

Thanks I tried different reakor and kontakt instrument as you suggested and midi out is on. The midi still not written into the midi track, but the audio was written into the track. Also the midi for a bassguitar was kontakt midi channel 1 while the outputs and other communication was audio signals. I had no other choice on the bass guitar midi track. I do not have an audio device using only wasapi shared. I do not know if this is matter,

Many thanks I tried as you suggested but any instrument I try will not pop up in that window you have it with the scaler. It seems I still do something wrong

Many thanks Yes the midi out is checked and I tried with several instruments. I probably do not know how to do this properly. I am sending a short project file. What I would like to do is that a synth apr notes goes into another track, like bass guitar and actually written down there. Once I saw the notes written as I was recording, but they erased immediately when recording stops. I do nto understand how to set this up. Istvan arp problem.cwp

Many thanks. I will look into arp generators. Still I have one more question. For example,. I like what in instrument preset generates as an arp and I want to save the notes (maybe to use with another instruments and so on), but this is I do not know how. I tried (I think) what Outrage production suggested. I routed the midi track to Synthmaster. I Used synthmaster arp patch I like and I routed that to a bass guitar. Now it sound as a bass guitar but the notes are not written down into the new track. That is what I would need. Please see the screenshot. Maybe I did some mistake, I am pretty new in this. I even click the record button. In this case I see that the midi notes are written into the bass track, but they disappear when I click stop recording. Does not matter what type of recording I am in. Thanks Istvan

Many thanks. This works. I tried this before when an instrument such as Syntmaster makes the arp, but in this case, bounce to the clip does not work. Is there any way too extract the arped notes from these cases? Your response was very useful, because I did not know that bounce to clip will do this if I use the Cakewalk own system. Thanks!! Istvan

Dear All, I need an advise. I have the cords. I use arpeggiator (built in or built into instrument). The cakewalk plays the arpeggiated notes, but I cannot see them. I need them to be printed out as they played (not as the input to the arpeggiator), so I can move or edit some notes. I cannot figure out how to see the notes are played after the arpeggiator is engaged. Please advise. Many thanks. Istvan

Great help and explanation!! I am grateful! Istvan

David, Many thanks. The channel was set to one in the second column under the knob mix. I thought this is what matter (see pic). I followed what you wrote I think, and the event list showed ch 4 as you said. This is confusing. I think what you mean to force it to channel to 1 is with the button in the first column under the FX rack, which I did and it read now as C1: Kontakt 7. Please let me know if I did it wrong (I am pretty new to this). It works with a single instrument track!! Many thanks! Istvan

Glenn, I found that you sent back the file I just thought it is the same file I sent out. As I see you have some audio interface which I do not have I have only the soundcard so I can not set it up as you did Instead I tried an alternative what the pic shows below and it works. So it seems for some reason the simple instrument track does not work in cakewalk in case of Kontakt and Reactor instruments. We need to use a separate midi and instrument tracks. Glenn I was trying this problem for days. I am grateful that you provided an idea and solution for this on the same day I posted this stuff. Many thanks for everyone! If anyone knows how to solve this with a single instrument track please still write it here. Very best! Istvan

Glenn thanks for the advise. I am a beginner and so far I mostly used the simple instrument track. I tried to reproduce your setup based on the picture but it does not work or I do something wrong. Could you send an other pic focus on the routing or send back the cakewalk file? Istvan
