MIDI Devices dialog

You can make up your own friendly names for the MIDI input and output

devices listed in this dialog. The friendly name for a MIDI device is the

name you will see in MIDI track input and output menus, if you enable the

Use Friendly Names To Represent MIDI Devices checkbox at the bottom of

this dialog. To make up a friendly name, double-click the name of a device

in the Friendly Name column, type a new name, and press Enter.

The MIDI Devices dialog has the following fields:

Inputs

Select devices from the list (you may have only one). SONAR accepts input

from these devices for recording MIDI data.

Outputs

Select devices from the list. If your computer or MIDI interface has several

MIDI outputs, you choose the ones you want to use and put them in a

particular order. From then on, MIDI output 1 refers to the first selected

MIDI output, MIDI output 2 to the second selected MIDI output, and so on.

The output number is based solely on the order in which the selected

outputs appear in the MIDI Devices dialog. As a result, the output numbers

used in SONAR may not match the output numbers that appear on your

external multiport MIDI interface.

Move Checked Devices to Top button

Click this button to move a checked device farther up in the list, directly

behind any other checked devices. If you want a particular device to

become MIDI output 1, deselect all other devices, select the device you

want to be number 1, and click the Move Checked Devices to Top button.

Use Friendly Names to Represent MIDI Devices

Enable this checkbox if you want the input and output menus of MIDI tracks

to display the friendly name of a MIDI device, instead of its original name.

Warn About No MIDI Devices

Enable this checkbox if you want your Cakewalk application to warn you if

no MIDI devices are enabled.
