If you are using default Windows drivers for your controller/surface (if you didn’t install the drivers that came with the controller/surface’s installation CD), your driver might be labeled as an audio driver. ![]() If your controller/surface has a piano-style keyboard attached to it, your controller/surface may have a separate MIDI driver for the keyboard part of your controller/surface, and a different MIDI driver for the knobs and sliders on your controller/surface.This might require reading your controller/surface’s documentation to see which MIDI input driver the controller/surface uses to control software applications: Step 1: Enabling the correct MIDI input driver for your controller/surface. These mappings are the same for every instance of each plug-in, and are saved automatically whenever you change them. Cakewalk plug-ins have default mappings that you can use or edit. Optional: Mapping the cells in the ACT MIDI Controller property page to various parameters in your effect and synth plug-ins.Note: If your controller/surface doesn’t have an ACT MIDI Controller preset, How to Create ACT MIDI Controller Presets shows you how to create one. If you change them, save them as a preset in the Presets window. The preset you chose in step 4 provides default MIDI Learn mappings, which you can use or change. This is the MIDI Learn function, and is different from the ACT Learn function in the next step. This step is optional if your controller/surface has a preset in the ACT MIDI Controller property page (not optional if your controller/surface doesn’t have a preset): Mapping knobs and sliders on your controller/surface to cells in the ACT MIDI Controller property page.Opening the ACT MIDI Controller property page, selecting the name of your controller/surface in the Presets window, and checking the Active Controller Technology Enable button.Your controller/surface should have a factory preset that is designed for controlling software applications. ![]() ![]() Loading the correct preset in the control panel of your hardware controller/surface.Enabling the ACT MIDI Controller plug-in in the Control Surfaces Preferences. ![]()
