Drumagog 4 is now a VST plug-in, and may require additional setup
in order to work with Cakewalk products. Drumagog 4 is directly
compatible with the following Cakewalk products:
Home Studio 2003
Home Studio 2004
Home Studio XL
Home Studio Version 2
Sonar v3 and later
Project 5 and later
If you own a previous version of a Cakewalk product, an additional
adapter is required - the Cakewalk VST to DX adapter. It can be
purchased for $59 (or $39 if you're a registered Sonar user) from:
http://store.yahoo.com/cakewalkdirect/cakvstaddow.html
To set up Drumagog for use in your Cakewalk system, follow these
steps:
1. Install Drumagog normally.
2. Open your Cakewalk VST to DX adapter. This is done by clicking
on Start, Program Files, Cakewalk, VST to DX adapter. (the adapter
is included free in the products listed above, or may be purchased
separately).
3. Follow the setup wizard. When prompted for the VST plugin location,
select "C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VST Plugins".
4. After the wizard is finished, you're all set. Drumagog 4 will
appear in your plug-in list as "Drumagog" (under "VST
Plugins").
Using Drumagog MIDI output with Sonar and Cakewalk:
Drumagog's MIDI output is not directly compatible with Cakewalk's
products. In order to get MIDI output from Drumagog to work correctly,
a separate product must be purchased called DirectiXer:
http://www.tonewise.com/DirectiXer
This setup only works with the latest version on DirectiXer (v2.5):
1. Install DirectiXer. When installing, make sure you choose
to also install the MIDI loopback device (it's checked by default).
2. After installing, open the DirectiXer management console, and
add Drumagog to it's list of plugins. To do this, click the add
button at the top, then browse for Drumagog.dll. It's usually
located in C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VST Plugins.
3. Open Sonar, then click Options, MIDI Devices. Select the DirectiXer
midi device as an available midi device on the left. This is very
important.
4. Insert Drumagog on a track.
5. At the top of the Drumagog window, make sure "Send MIDI
to host through loopback driver" is enabled. This is the
button with a picture of two notes.
6. In Drumagog's advanced page, enable "midi out", then
set the midi port to "internal".
7. In Sonar, create a new MIDI track. Set the midi input to "DirectiXer
loopback", and the midi output to whatever device you want
to send midi to.
8. Record-enable this new midi track.
9. If you press record on the transport, you should see the midi
events being recorded on the midi track.
