kzmaier Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Over the weekend I saw a couple of things. I have several midi interfaces connected to my Daw. I turn then on when needed. I noticed that the Cakewalk control surface will auto select a midi interface when the actual control surface interface midi device is missing. This makes the selected interface unusable on a midi track input even though it's in the track options list. Just a FYI I thought I would share, as well as something I need to remember. It took me a while to figure this out. If I change the midi interface in the Control surface to something else all is well. The second observation was when recording midi on a track with the Arpeggiator turned on in the Cakewalk midi track as well as the vsti I ended up with overlapping redundant midi notes. Is there a recommended work-flow when recording arpeggated parts? I just practiced the parts with the Arpeggiator on and then recorded with it off. Unfortunately sometimes I forgot this step. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's the first thing I look at when I'm getting no sound from my keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 My observation has been that midi controllers that came with drivers behave better than the ones that use generic drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
