I used to use Cakewalk, 20 years ago, and I'm trying to re-start, all over again. And, I need help, getting a MIDI keyboard to record in some way that I can see (and edit) the notes in a "piano roll" format.
I'm using a Windows 10 machine (64 bit), with a simple/basic Yamaha PSR-420 keyboard with MIDI ports in the back, and an Avid Mbox 3 interface (no longer being made, so I've attached pics; MIDI ports in back, and it is indeed recognized by Cakewalk, in ASIO format).
But, I can't figure out what to do next, among the hundreds of options available. I've watched the tutorial found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZqXiL2L36g
but when HE clicks on his screen, he gets a different screen, than I get.
All I want -- for now -- is a single, simple track, which I can store as a midi file, and send to a keyboard professional, so he can build a song passage around that melody.
