It is essential that a 2-way MIDI communication configuration is used between the 328 and
Cakewalk.
Using standard MIDI cables, connect the 328 MIDI Out to the PC MIDI In, and connect the 328
MIDI In to the PC MIDI Out.
This 2-way communication configuration now allows full automation recording and playback.
Start Cakewalk, and enter ‘MIDI Devices…’ on the ‘Tools’ pull-down menu.
Now, in the ‘Output Ports’ selection select the MIDI Out port you are using the 328 with. Click on
‘Move Selected Devices to Top’ so that it moves to the top of the list.
Ensure that both the MIDI In and MIDI Out ports are enabled (highlighted) for the MIDI interface
you are using the 328 with, as well as for any other devices on any other MIDI Ports.
Here, the MIDI Port being used with the 328 is ‘Roland MPU401’, and hence both the Input (MIDI
In) and Output (MIDI Out) are selected. The other ports are selected as they are used by other
MIDI devices.
