Cant get Cakewalk to convert midi to audio from my external midi tone generators

[Jack Daiter]

Just starting to use this software. So I have my midi controller (a wind synth) running into a Tascam midi interface along with my Yamaha VL1m tone generator. The Tascam Interface is running into my laptop with Cakewalk installed. 

I see the Tascam in Cakewalk. When I record the program recognizes the midi signal from the controller and on playback i hear the sound i dialled up on the tone generator. But i cant get Cakewalk to save those external midi sound samples as audio! 

Perhaps someone out there has an answer. 

Thanks

So,

the audio out of the Yamaha VL1m tone generator is connected to audio input(s) on the Tascam interface and

the audio channel(s) of the Tascam interface are setup as inputs to an audio  track in Cakewalk,

the audio track is armed for recording but nothing gets recorded.
