The OUTPUT should be directed to your primary audio interface, the one you expect to hear sound out of. You can now click on the track icon to bring up the VST instrument window (or in the Synth Rack view). When you do this, the icon of the track changes to be a VST instrument icon. Set the INPUT to be "SI_drum Kit 1" > "Primary Output: Stereo". In order to get a good understanding of the plumbing/routing, we're going to do it manually.Ĭlick OK and the Drum Kit should appear in the Synth Rack view. Trust me here, clear all the checkboxes under "Create These Tracks". This is confusing at first viewing, no doubt. You will be presented with options about what tracks to create. Now, Open the Synth Rack view and click on the "+" to add an instance of "SI-Drum Kit" VST. Can you see MIDI notes being recorded into the track? If so, good. By default the INPUT will be "Omni" but i recommend explicitly assigning the hardware MIDI port that the Drum Kit is connected to, and choosing "Omni" under that. What about Audio? What audio interface are you using? Under Preferences>Audio>Devices, is it available and selected?Ĭreate a new MIDI track. Your Drum Kit connected to MIDI interface? Does Cakewalk recognize the interface? (Preferences>MIDI>Devices) and is it enabled? Extra: It is good to know what MIDI channel the kit is transmitting on, although because Cakewalk tends to be very forgiving about this and converts MIDI channels on the fly to match that of the active recording track, however it is still good discipline to know this. So, here's what I would do, in a new empty project:
This is convenient but (IMO) can obscure routing problems.īest thing to do is to work through from first principles, even if you are confident about much of this already. Cakewalk added a feature called "Instrument Track" which combines recorded MIDI input with VST generated audio output.
