Subject: Cakewalk Patches
Hello all,
I've been reading the digest lately, and have noticed a lot of mention about "Patch Caching" in Cakewalk pro ( Windows? ). Can someone guide me in the right direction about where to find some documentation on this? Or better yet wehere to find it in the sequencer. What version is Cakewalk, too.
Thanks,
John Dawes

RE: Piano sounds
TO the owner of the Yamaha PSR 500.. You said that the patch is far
superior to the GUS patch, eh?
That's not saying much, since I've heard the PSR500 many times, and the
pinao patch on it basically sucks..

I have a Juno-106, attached via an Aztech Labs MIDI cable (a great
bargain, BTW, and works fine). About the only thing to worry about with
the Juno, as far as I know, is that if you have the MIDI send switch set
to III, the Juno sends the whole patch definition as a SYSEX message
every time you change patches, and this can bog down the sequencer.
Oh yes, and when you release all the keys, the Juno sends an ALL NOTES
OFF message (Controller 123, level 0, I believe), which can cut off notes
prematurely on the GUS, and generally bogs down the GUS drivers. Every
once in a while, I just do a cut operation (In Powertracks Pro, my
sequencer of choice), with the filter set to that particular controller.
The Juno has one of the earliest MIDI implementations, so thank your
lucky stars that it still works at all. What a standard!
