I have found in the documentation that the on screen virtual controller piano keyboard autosizes depending on having a touch screen or not.

My system does come with a touch screen but for working with Cakewalk I use the mouse. The piano keyboard is so big in size that it blocks visiblity to most items on screen.

Is there a hidden setting somewhere that I can enable to turn of this autosize functionality? I like it that Cakewalk thought about displaying in different formats automatically, but hope there is some manual control setting to override this feature.

I have attached a screenshot how it shows with an empty project.

I made a tutorial on how to open a midi file and then replace the instruments one by one.  http://www.cactusmusic.ca/sonar-tutorials   

By default if there are no midi outputs selected in preferences, Cakewalk opens midi files with TTS_1 and the song can be played. 

It is important to now save the song as a CWP file first before you muck about. 

Then it is supper easy to insert your favourite synths and simply point the midi tracks at them. If you prefer instrument tracks just drag the midi data after you insert the VST. Takes 10 minutes to upgrade a song from TTS-1 to better stuff. I do a LOT of this. 

Thank you for the great tutorial you did on this! The link did not work, however clicking the link part of your profile got me to the new site you created.
