Gman911 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I cannot get any recording out of my Roland TD 20 from MIDI output into Cakewalk. Cakewalk does not detect a MIDI signal. Using USB MIDI cable in Win10. ("USB Midi" detected, all on Omni). I know MIDI does not have its own sound; this is about no input into cakewalk (detection by). Keyboard works perfectly but not getting same with TD20 MIDI. Novice recorder here. Thank you for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 First check that your USB MIDI cable is enabled within Cakewalk, by ensuring it's checked in Preferences->MIDI->Devices->Inputs If it's still not working, try using the other MIDI plug on the USB MIDI Cable. I've got a few of these I use for testing, and they're pretty inconsistent in their "MIDI In" / "MIDI Out" labelling - i.e. sometimes "MIDI Out" means "This is the MIDI Out" and on others it means "Plug this into the MIDI Out". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman911 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Problem solved! Thank you for you input. Turns out it was the proverbial bad cable (cheap). I ordered a wireless MIDI and it works (omniloop, etc.) Now latency issue with wireless. Ugh. Ordering a high quality USB MIDI. I can live with the cable. Thanks!
