Track I/O MIDI Settings

Hi Cakewalk gurus, I'm sure it's me doing something wrong but ...

I have an ancient Yamaha PSR-SQ16 keyboard/sequencer that saves its MIDI data to floppy disk (quaint eh?). I can load the MIDI data into Cakewalk and it recognises it and places the info into tracks. All good so far.

To get Cakewalk to tell my SQ16 what to do I need to tell each track where to send the data, so I select my SQ16 as the output on each track. Works a treat. 

Problem is, even though I save the MIDI file with these output assignments, when I open it again the settings are lost and I have to redo them.

What am I doing wrong? :o0

Many thanks.

Midi files will only contain the MIDI data itself.  Any data pertaining to specific Cakewalk features (such as their assigned track outputs) will not be saved in the MIDI file. 

What you need to do is save the file as a Cakewalk Project file or CWP.  Unfortunately, this CWP file would not be readable by the PSR-SQ16

You will probably have to have two versions of the edited files  - one on the PC as CWP files and other as MIDI files (probably back on the floppy disk).
