Thanks Gswitz...but I don't even understand whats going on!
Following everyones comments, heres a few clarifications and questions:
First, even with some readings, im not sure that i understand that piece : do i need to configure the fcb1010 itself BEFORE using to any application ? Not sure if the question is even clear...
The pluging as the ACT function. Not sure how im suppose to use thar though...
My pedalboard is first plugged in my Focusrite 8i6, which has midi in and out. Does that change anything ?
Again, i just want to be able to open Cakewalk, plug my guitar and play with my amp sim and record tracks.
When i create a midi track, i can assign the in and out to respectively focusrite in and focusrite out. Then i can add a new drum map (?). My plugin is nowhere to be found. Theres a menu within the vst where i can select and click midi, but that doent seem to do anything
Finally, I think it's important to know that I have a standalone version as well of this amp sim. According to the information I gathered, configuring the midi learn function couldn't be simplier. However, even after following the steps, it doesn't seem to work. Leading me to believe that I may miss some basics of this whole thing
Sorry for my disorganized post, but im really confused at this point....
edit : Here's a screenshot of my DAW, along with the amp sim and the midi controller configuration open. I know the routing is not correct, but i cant find the amp sim as an output in the midi track (i cant honestly understand how i could edit the amp sim that way....). Im about to give up

another thing : here's a simply video on how to configure a midi pedal in the STANDALONE version of the amp sim. I can't even get that piece to work, making me believe that I'm missing a few basic concepts...
