Directlink For Cakewalk by Bandlab

[NumTarn]

I am a happy Cakewalk by Bandlab, but recently bought a M-Audio Axiom Midi (49) Controller Keyboard, (second hand) to relace my other aging midi controller.

Although it seems to work, it was originally intended to work best with the addition of Directlink. It appears this software is no longer compatible / downloadable.

I am wondering if anyone has a link to it or any experience with it, to setup  a system that is sync'd better with Cakewalk. Thanks

I assume that "Directlink" is the mapping software that used to come with the Axiom.

It's probably not needed in order to the Axiom to be able to control parameters in Cakewalk as long as each control is sending standard MIDI CC. There are multiple methods for setting up control surfaces in Cakewalk depending on what you want to do with the controls (transport and faders, or plug-in parameters, etc.).

I have a similiar control panel too and I am confused as to how to set it up with the faders and everything... please help!

I'm not sure if this is still effective, but in the past, this video helped me a lot, and the axiom 49 functioned as expected.

I just realized the last post is 2 years ago....
