I have the Mascine Mikro MK3. I use it as a midi controlled drum interface together with EZDrummer software. This works fine, both as a standalone Windows app as well as a plugin in Cakewalk. I basically only use the 16 pads of the device, but it also has a lot of extra buttons like for example 'Play', 'Record', 'Stop'. I've mapped these buttons as 'MCU buttons', and when I select the device as 'Mackie Control' in the 'Control Surface' menu of Cakewalk, these buttons indeed operate these buttons in Cakewalk. So far so good, you might think. But when I use the device as Control Surface, the midi signals are not coming through anymore. Is there perhaps some way to use both at the same time?

Hello, I'm still kind of new to Cakewalk. At the moment I'm using it together with an 'Akai MPK Mini' midi keyboard and some software synth called 'Hybrid'. The 'Hybrid' software can be run both as a standalone Windows executable as well as a VST inside Cakewalk. Both methods work fine. Now lately I've been assigning the 8 multifunction knobs of the Akai to virtual knobs within the 'Hybrid' software. On the standalone Windows executable this works fine, except that program doesn't remember the assignements once you close it. But the VST in Cakewalk does. But today I noticed that one of the knobs is not working as it should. It's knob K3 (of K1..K8) that's acting weird. If I remember correctly it used to work fine before, but I might have fiddled with some settings here and there. What the knob does now: in some positions it mutes all sound, in some positions it holds a note after I released the key and in other positions playing is just fine. I have tried to reassign the knob to the correct knob in 'Hybrid' (in my case: a volume knob of an oscilator), but that just doesn't work. The knob still works in the standalone version and I also tried a midi debug viewer to check the Akai. It all looked fine, so I'm convinced the problem is somewhere in Cakewalk. Is there a place where I can see the midi assignments or reset them? Even if it's in an .INI file. Or else set all my Cakewalk settings to 'default'. Is this possible without having to uninstall and reinstall everything? (Even then I'm afraid it might save settings somewhere in the registry).
