There are two ways that I can think of.  In the MIDI track, you can put an instance of the Cakewalk FX MIDI Event filter to filter out C64 events

This will still record the cc64 events.  However, when correctly configured, it can prevent the cc64 events from reaching the synth.  Of course, this will only work if your Casio is actually generating CC64 events in the first place and that there is not something else causing the sustained notes (like a high CC72 value).

Another option I can think of is to go into Preferences - MIDI - Playback and Recording and under “record”, deselect “Controller”.  However, this prevents all controllers (not just CC64) from being recorded, so you may not want this

I think the reference there is in the Piano Roll View with the controller lanes visible.

You might want to go into the Event List View to see if there are actually some C64 > 127 events even present.  While you are there, you could add a C64 > 0 event to turn of any sustains that might be active.

Thanks for the great tips!!!

Hi guys, thanks for your help.

To rephrase my problem, if one were to play the keyboard while pressing the sustain pedal, is there a way to make cakewalk ignore the pedal?

And how do I "draw a cc64 controller" are you talking about drawing a line on the midi channel to turn it off?

Hi, I have a px-130 privia casio keyboard and recently I could not stop it from automatically activating the sustain pedal effect whether the pedal is plugged in or not....I imagine it's caused by the new power adapter I brought for the keyboard as the previous one had electrical damage from a recent house flood..but am not sure hmm.

I would like  to plug in the keyboard into the daw and play sounds from my vsts in cakewalk using keyboard without the sustain...so I want to disable the pedal effect from this keyboard and use another pedal using my pedal to usb device instead.

Can this be easily done?

Thanks

Hi, sorry to revive old thread but I just got the nanokontrol2 and got everything to work except...

1. The track move left and right buttons...they don't move tracks but they move the range of 1-8 tracks that nanokontrol controls..so moving right moves it to tracks 9-16..

2. Still can't get the cycle and setting marker combination working...

I've tried with downloading the mmcl and using latest cakewalk's mackie but still can't get it to work...any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi guys.. I'm thinking of buying launchpad X and using it as a controller for cakewalk.

Is this possible/compatible? I know launchpad is designed for ableton but maybe I can midi map it to do stuff on cakewalk?

Thanks guys! Appreciate it :)!!

Hi there, does cakewalk have a velocity curve correction plugin?

I have an Icon i-keyboard X and the velocity curve options are a  bit weird...I can't seem to play expressively.

Is there a velocity curve plugin that can detect my keyboard's dynamic range and adjust it for cakewalk?

Thanks!

Hi guys Ive thinking of upgrading my pc. 
 

I might get a M1 apple macbook

I heard about parallel desktop, but I am not sure if it will tun cakewalk on the mac.

Does anyone have any experience with running cakewalk on parallel desktop?

Thanks

There are 3 ways to get cakewalk working on livestream if you want to use ASIO drivers....so here are 3 ways.

1. Ok to get cakewalk to OBS, get https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/

And follow the instructions on this youtube video

2. To get cakewalk working on Livestream i.e. where you have to choose separate input for video and audio, follow step 1 and the following instructions.

Download https://vb-audio.com/Cable/
Follow the instructions on this website

The relevant instructions are pasted below, not written by me but by the poster of that website

"Step 1: In OBS in the Audio Mixer panel at the bottom, click the settings icon next to your microphone, go to Advanced Audio Properties, and turn on Monitoring for your microphone. I have it set to "Monitor and Output" because I like to use the record function of OBS to test things, if you select "Monitor Only" the mic will not work with the record or stream functions of OBS but can still be used in other applications.

Step 2: Find and download a Virtual Audio Cable program (google). I'm using the VB-Audio Virtual Audio Device. Follow the instructions to install, in the cast of VB-Audio application I downloaded, unzipped, and ran the .exe setup file.

Step 3: In OBS at the top of the screen, go to File -> Settings -> Audio (tab). Under the Advanced panel look for "Monitoring Device". Set this to the input for the virtual cable application "Cable Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)" in my case. If you do not see this you may need to close and reopen OBS, restart your computer, or double check your install of the Virtual Audio Cable application.

Step 4: Open the application that you want to use with OBS audio. In my case Microsoft teams. Change the microphone input device to the output of your virtual audio cable application, in my case ""Cable Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)". Again if this doesn't appear, try restarting the application or your PC."

3. Alternative solution to do it without OBS requires the use of https://vb-audio.com/Cable & https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/banana.htm & https://www.voxengo.com/product/recorder/

It requires a bit of setup and explaining...... but if you want to learn how to do it this way then can let me know otherwise I think the first and second option is easiest way to go.

Ah Don't worry, figured it out!

let me know if anyone needs help with setting up theirs.

Thanks everyone!

Hmm on the website I'm trying to stream it asks me for my Video Input and Audio Input. For the Video I choose OBS. But I can't find OBS as a Mic that I can add..how do you guys get around that?

I guess OBS is only possible for sites that support it?

Hey guys....I am probably reviving old threads as I still can't find answers to this question...

I know how to OBS live stream and live play cakewalk using Reaper's plugin.

But I am currently trying to live stream on a website where it requires me to choose a video and an audio input.

For the audio input, I choose focusrite. But focusrite only captures my microphone. I need the focusrite to also capture my cakewalk sound....

Does anyone know how to achieve this? I've downloaded voicemeeter banana but just don't know how to use it to get it working.

It's dooable with ableton live since it just uses the FLstudio ASIO which allows drivers to be shared.

Thanks..!

I use heaps of custom keybindings and never once have they been deleted as a result of a Cakewalk by Bandlab update.

On your system , they could be disappearing because of a workspace setting.  This is because, by default, each workspace loads their own keybindings settings.  If you set your Workspace to “none” do your previous Keybindings return?

I do actually use my own custom Workspaces but I do not want these custom Workspaces to load their own Keybindings.  I want my Keybindings to be global regardless of which custom Workspace I use.  To do this, I go into the Workspace manager, select my custom workspaces one by one.  Then under “Load from Workspace”, deselect "Keyboard Shortcuts".  That way, my Keybindings don't change when I load a different Workspace.

Wow nice...thank you so much for that tip!!

Hey, hey, Jonny, Go to Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and Export your custom set. Then you can Import them after each update.

Ah right, so from what I gather is that after each update it's natural for the keyboard shortcuts to be automatically deleted? Is there a way to prevent it from deletion after every update? ?

I noticed something that keeps happening, everytime cakewalk updates all my keyboard shortcuts disappear..

Is this an update thing? Or is it something that happens when i change projects so different projects have different shortcuts?

Like this is my 3rd time having to rebind all my shortcuts

It involves editing the master.ins file.

I describe the process here

the biggest problem with using alternate note names in the Notes pane is they are not persistent. Unlike drum maps, the alternate note names must be selected every time the track is loaded in the PRV.

Ah thanks for sharing...I think I've read that one...thought 2 years later there would be an easier way :<.. Ok I'll download that file and try to play around with it thankss

Is there an easy way to like just put labels or names on the keys of the piano roll? Because I have impact sound work's frame drums and I like to put names on the piano roll so I know which note is what kind of drum..........

I've googled...studied midi drum maps....watched videos...STILl don't know how to edit the files :<......

Cakewalk currently does not support MIDI 2.0 - we'll be working closely with Microsoft when they natively support MIDI 2.0 in Windows.

Pitch Bend is a channel event, which means it'll affect all notes on that channel.

Polyphonic after touch is the only note specific event available, but very few synths support this (most only support Channel after touch).  Using after touch also would limit you to only bending up, or bending down.

The way I've done this in the past is to use a CAL script to split each note into separate tracks and channels, then move these tracks in to separate lanes (making sure the MIDI channel of the track is set to "None").  This way I could apply pitch bend on a specific lane/channel/note.  This could be done either by recording the pitch bend, or by using an automation curve.

As I was using hardware synths at the time, this involved creating a multi-patch with the same sound on each MIDI channel.

I think @Promidi 's idea of using a second instance is probably the easiest for VSTi's.

is there a cal script that can cut and paste notes to specific tracks? I know there is a cal script that moves all "specific pitch" of one lane to the other which is used for drum tracks...but would like one where i can just select notes and have it say move to track 2 hmm....anyone?

Thank you guys so much for replying......much much appreciated... ......yes trying to bend just one note in a chord but don't want to affect the other ones.......that tutorial seems interesting I will look at it when I get back home from work today.

So I guess you guys usually pitch bend the whole chord? Am I the only one here who just just pitch bends a note in a chord lol...

Hmmmmm hopefully someone here knows !

This depends entirely on the synth are you using?  Which synth are you using?

If the synth you're using is not multitimbral (can trigger different sounds on multiple channels), then one way is to use separate instances of the synth for the notes that you need to bend to a different range.

Ah right ok..I'm using premier koto kaguya, it's a kontakt synth

Hi is it possible to just target a specific note with pitch bend?

Like for instance, I play an arppegiated chord C then E then G on my koto instrument.

But I just want the last note G to pitch bend up and down

When I assign the pitch bend, the C and E bends up and down with the G...like I can hear the tail sound of C and E move with the pitch bend and I don't want that.

Thanks

Hi, I uploaded the video. Hmm the video shows two notes with one map articulation. But map articulation keeps switching because I think there is an invisible map articulation there in the region where I cannot create new map articulation...which explains why sometimes my keyswitches keep changing randomly throughout the project

Also at the end of the video I tried to drag the clip that I tried to edit map articulation. And it says "Out of memory" I suspect that there are a lot of hidden midi information in that clip or corrupt info..I dunno....

I think that's why sometimes the pitch in different sections keeps changing for no reasons up and down...started ever since I tried map articulation....do you know why that is as well? It's like it's triggering some sort of a pitch change and I'd have to restart cakewalk or play with my pitch wheel....

Hi guys...recently asked a question about map articulation problem but I discovered another problem :(...

Previously my keyswitches from previous map articulation keeps coming randomly back.

I've unticked the zero controllers when play stops and midi event chase on play, that helps but the problem still comes up.

Today I noticed something strange. Like there are some bars on the piano roll that I cannot assign map articulations too. For instance if I create a map articulation and then drag it towards the right, then there will be a point where I cannot drag it anymore. It's like there are some invisible midi data there that is preventing me from changing the event happening there. So as a result, the note that is sitting in that uneditable space cannot be map articulated again.

I've tried removing the clip and then deleting the empty space to be double sure rewriting that section again and that seems to work. But it's going to be a waste of time doing it for every section with these invisible midi spaces around :(..

Any clues to fix this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks again.

NICE! it worked!
