I use Cakewalk mostly in live performance as a solo artist, rather than as a recording tool. It works great, way more flexible than something like Garage Band, IMHO. I've recently added several VSTIs to the mix, and everything is working well. Now I'm trying to add Cherry Audio's Stardust 201 tape echo and 'play' the echo old-school in real time -- i.e., play a few notes, then twiddle the feedback and speed controls to get wild effects. Of course, one can do this from the VST directly in the DAW using a mouse, but it's a lot more usable when linked to real wheels and knobs on a keyboard (or control surface). Stardust has a MIDI Learn mode to map knobs to MIDI CCs, and one can even edit the min/max value settings and the response curve of the incoming MIDI. The problem is, the MIDI CC data doesn't seem to be getting to the VST. It's reaching my VST *instruments* -- including ones from Cherry Audio -- but it doesn't seem to pass to a VST *effect*: I turn on MIDI Learn in Stardust, select a knob, it turns purple to indicate that it's been selected, and that's it. I can move the Mod Wheel or a knob all day, and the data doesn't reach Stardust. I've tried changing the VST settings to "configure as synth," but that didn't help. What am I doing wrong? Has anyone got this kind of setup to work?
