Saving patches

[Mike Bown]

Hi all,

Using Cakewalk Sonar x3. 

I use a number of outboard sound modules in my projects - in particular very often a  Roland Integra 7. When I save that project, I use the Cakewalk bundle save option to make sure the Midi port, module, chanel and patches get saved with the project..

Recently, now when I re-open the project, none of the outboard patches/port detail are recalled. This problem has only recently occurred, so does anyone know why and if there is a setting which has perhaps changed without me noticing??

My general midi module ( JV1080) remembers what settings have been used.

Regards

 

Mike

You don't need to save as a Cakewalk Bundle (cwb) - a Cakewalk project (cwp) will save exactly the same information.

All a Cakewalk Bundle file does, is store any audio track data alongside the cwp in the same file, whereas a Cakewalk Project just saves the project and references the audio files on disk.

As far as your patches - are you sure you're setting the all of the four MIDI options, i.e. the correct port,  channel, patch and bank select details within your tracks?

It's been years since I used my external hardware (including a Roland JV-1080), but I seem to recall the need to also set up an instrument definition file correctly in Cakewalk to be able to access the patches in the instrument banks.
