OK, I found the "Track Manager" and brought them back.

OK, I've been using Cakewalk forever. I just double clicked on a track. I might have been holding "shift" or "control" at the same time. Then all my tracks disappeared except the one I was clicking on. It was cool for editing purposes. (must be a feature) All the tracks play. (so they are there) But I can't see them. Anyone know how to see them again?

Thanks!

Open the type 1 SMF... and immediately save it as a Cakewalk Project.

Often times, there are unwanted Tempo, Patch Changes, and Volume/Pan MIDI events.

I'd strip those out unless specifically desired.

Then, assign the individual MIDI tracks to specific virtual or hardware instruments.

What's the best way to do this?  I've always started from a template with Kontakt loaded for several tracks. But when opening a midi file, nothing is loaded and I'd like to know the easiest way to assign each track to an instrument. I currently create a new track with the instrument and drag the midi clip from its original location. I'd rather find a way to assign the instrument to the original midi track.
