Jesse Thompson Posted Monday at 12:38 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:38 PM This is gonna sound random, but does anyone know how to map a MIDI to Cakewalk Next? I've looked for the solution but the option that I've seen is supposed to be under midi to map the keys just.. isn't there. I can set it as the input and output, but no mapping although there are multiple sources that say the option should be there. I've tried checking for updates but everything is in order. *Tf do I do?* X'D Also I am not referring to plug-ins, but to the main program itself. Instruments, ect. I'd like to have the main volume mapped to a nob, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Thompson Posted Monday at 02:24 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 02:24 PM (edited) My apologies. This is literally the first midi I've owned lol. By mapping I mean mapping the pads and nobs to certain controls in the program. I've looked at different forums but they only refer to plugins. As far as mapping for the main program, if I search it the result says it should be under preferences>edit>midi> and it should be under drum mapping. But I don't have any option besides output selection. I am referring to a MIDI Keyboard.

Since I haven't played with Cakewalk Next in a while, I am not sure I can help other than to suggest contacting support for Cakewalk Next if what you want is not covered in the manual or the Help Webpages. Moreover, when I read your post I thought it was not clear what you were trying to do, and I thought maybe someone in the User Community who uses Next might be able to help if you were clear about what you are trying to do. So far as I can tell, you have some pads and knobs somewhere and you seem to want to be able to assign them to specific drum instruments in a drum kit track you have inserted into a project. But that's just a guess. I booted Next and it seems that the kit I tried is already mapped to my usb keyboard and the built-in Virtual Controller. Maybe you are talking about using the built-in pad controller? If so, you might want to search the User Manual (accessed through the Help tab) for "pad controller."
