I have managed to work out what it is - the GO:KEYS is "partially Multitimbral" - i.e. you can only pick one voice from each category - One Piano, Organ, Brass, Drum (One set) etc. So I can't have a Grand Piano, and an Electric Piano for example. Shouid be enough.

Thanks for your help Guys, That would explain things a little. It will just have to be a case of actually recording a track separately. In practice, I would only want to add Piano, drums, and bass to Electric and Acoustic guitar, and some of that could be done within Cakewalk anyway.

Hi, I have a Roland Go:Keys keyboard, and I want to experiment with using Cakewalk with it, via MIDI. Ideally, what I want to do is add multiple MIDI tracks - One voice per track. Of course, when I go to start on Track 2, with a different voice, the first track is using this voice. I have tried making it so that each track has a different Channel, but it still changes the voice on all tracks. Is it actually possible ? I believe the Keyboard is Multi-Timbral, so it should in theory work. Any pointers ?

Thanks all for the information. As regards audio interface, I use a Behringer UMC22, which only has Mic and Instrument inputs. I guess I can always upgrade at some stage !

Hi, I am mainly a guitar player, but have dabbled with Keyboards over the years. I am also a relative Beginner to DAWs, although did use Cubase a few years ago, and no stranger to using Multitrack recording (I have an old Boss 8-Track that has seen better days). I was thinking of getting a MIDI controller, but I was wondering about buying a secondhand Standalone keyboard, specifically a Yamaha PSR275, I had something similar a few years ago, but despite being able to connect to a PC, I never explored the MIDI side of things properly, and just wondered whether I could successfully use this as a Controller ? I've downloaded the Manual for it, and as it uses the standard 5-pin (??) MIDI sockets, but Yamaha do (or did) have a suitable converter cable, and there appears to be no shortage of alternative cables.
