Drumagog 4 is a VST plug-in,
and may require additional setup in order to work with older, non-VST compatible Cakewalk products. Drumagog
4 is directly compatible with the latest Cakewalk products, such as:
Home
Studio 2003
Home Studio 2004
Home Studio XL
Home Studio Version 2
SONAR v3 and later
Project 5
Using
Drumagog MIDI output with SONAR and other Cakewalk applications:
Drumagog's
MIDI output is not recognized by Cakewalk's VST architecture.
In order to get the MIDI output from Drumagog to work correctly,
a MIDI loopback utility must be used like DirectiXer
or MIDI Yoke
The following are the steps to configure DirectiXer,
but MIDI Yoke will work much the same way: 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.
