I know that it should be possible to make learn a button of the keyboard or midi controller by Cakewalk to use it in the middle of a song but I don't know how I can configure it in cakewalk. Does anybody know how to configure it?

You said: ''If I arm a MIDI track and hit record, Cakewalk records any Bank/Patch events sent from the PCR-800 into the MIDI track.'' So once you have this track in a project containing a song, is it possible to launch this track from an external midi controler (like your keyboard) at any moment during playing the song. The reason is, I want to send to a sound module through Cakewalk a Bank/Program change during playing the project. And I want to send it by a button on a midi controler at any moment of my choice, not at a specific moment of the song. Actually, if I program an event with the Bank/Patch change, I have to choose the moment of the change in the events list. I want to send this Bank/Patch change manually on my keyboard or Launchpad (midi controlers).

Thank you for your answer Promidi, I see what you mean, and after recording the Bank/Patch on a midi track and insert it on a project, is it possible too launch it from an external Midi Controler while playing the project?

I can send a control change to Cakewalk midi track from an external midi controller Button. I can't find how to send a Bank/Patch change via this same controller. Anybody succeeded to do so?

Hey @JnTuneTech, I’ taking a chance here, Cause I know you re better than me in CbB. How to transform midi notes into a repeated note of the same pitch for the duration of the key hold. I found a way to do it but when hitting more than 1 note at a time, the 2 notes repeat alternatively so not good, any idea? You’re right, the problem was the pattern, with the arpeggiator of cakewalk, it works fine now withe the choice of the right pattern, I knew you had the answer thx ?

Yes it could have been good but, if I set it good, the result was good but when hitting more than one note, the 2 notes were repeating alternativly. Otherwise, maybe you know a way to set it up, I’m blocked on it now

How to transform midi notes into a repeated note of the same pitch for the duration of the key hold. It has to be polyphonic and stop the repeat when the note is released

Ok, thx a lot JN, it helped me a lot. Finally I made my ins file and doubled it to have more room than the basic 127 control change. The Program change was not stable so I chose to work with the control change and value. Seem to work well so far so I’ll make a basic midi track of lighting (4/4) and copy it to different songs and then correct the punch of the song only, the track should follow the midi tempo so that should save much time I guess. to be continued and hope that will help others to do it.. thx again @JnTuneTech

@JnTuneTech ikeep on testing my open dmx from entec, using it with loopBE1 (witch is like loopmidi) and QLC+ for now, so far I can make it work and I now wanna control it by midi in cakewalk. Could you share an example of your .ins file for me to understand more how you use midi commands to control your fixtures and scenes please. I still don’t understand how I can find a plan or create one to control them (Program change, CC, notes etc) so an example of .ins file will help me to figure it I guess as well as if you know a link that can explane how midi commands affect fictures and scenes. Thx

Ok thank you Matthew, I’ll check this when I receive my new open dmx from enttec

Ok great, I’ll check it when I get the interface thx

Thank you jn Tune Tech, sounds good. I bought the enttec open as below so i can try it when I receive it in 6 days from now and I’ll tell you about it. What I don’t know is if I will get the licence of DMXIS included with it and also if the midi will work with this model. Thx again, I appreciate

@John Vere, I see. But i just bouht a DMX open from enttec to test it and I will try to understand how it works with CBB, but i figure that it could be done in one track with the plugin in it but i don t know yet how it works. If someone can explain how to set it up with a soft like freestyler instead of a physical console, i would appreciate it.

Hi Harddrive, About this : (Finally, I have a MIDI track assigned to control our lighting rig - LED pars, moving heads, lasers and haze machine - via the DMXIS VST plug in. It takes a lot of time, patience and dedication, but it's worth it.) this is exactly what I wanna do, -can you post some screen shot of example of a lighting track (midi command etc). -so you control by this pluf in, what is the physical interface DMX-midi you are using for it? do you need to use another software to make the lighting scenes? thank you Remy
