Kontakt keyboard in CBB piano roll

[RexRed]

Is there a way to have Cakewalk piano roll mirror the keyboard layout/setup note functions/colors of individual Kontakt instruments?

Colors - no

Alternate names for notes - yes although drum maps may be a better solution for now

Here are a couple of posts about alternate note names for the PRV Notes pane

I would like this NI Kontakt keyboard designation pattern to magically show up in PRV. Kontakt related note names would be fine, colors would be better.

This is a feature request for NI.

If Kontakt implementing the VST2.1 effGetMidiKeyName opcode, Cakewalk would automatically show the note names supplied by Kontakt. This is how BFD3, Session Drummer 3 and Sitala note names appear next to the Notes pane.

Thanks for the help Scook. I needed to find out it was not already a feature in Cakewalk before requesting it be added. 

My Yamaha TG500 tone generator had patch/drumkit note names in Cakewalk almost 20 years ago.

I just figured Native Instruments would also be along those lines.

WRT to names:

• Hardware uses the method described in the links above
• Software uses a different approach and relies on plug-in manufactures to implement the feature per the VST spec

Color is another matter. This is a feature request
