Initial Tempo and Time Sig different from setting...

[56_Kruiser]

New to Cakewalk. Version using in signature.

My first "Project" is just to correct tempo settings on a midi file from my Yamaha DGX 670. I have put in these settings (Sorry about the large pics. I don't seem to be able to size it down here, and also downsized in a picture editing program).:

 

 

 Also made sure starting tempo was at 70, and time signature at 9/8.

 

 

But when I load the midi in my Yamaha, it shows different starting tempo and time signature for the song. For measure 1, it shows tempo 120 and time sig 4/4.

 

I'm brand new with this. I'm obviously missing something. Any suggestions appreciated.

Make sure you're saving the file as a MIDI file, and you can always test the file by opening it back up in Cakewalk after saving to verify that it retains the desired settings.
