Drumagog 4
is a VST plug-in, and may require additional setup in order to
work with older Cakewalk products. Drumagog 4 is directly compatible
with the following Cakewalk products:
Home Studio 2003 and later
SONAR v3 and later
Project 5 and later
Using Drumagog
MIDI output with SONAR:
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
.
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 Create
button at the top, then browse for Drumagog (Fixed Latency).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 (Input).
4. Insert "WaveMachine Labs Drumagog (Fixed Latency)"
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 the synth of your choice.
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.
Using Drumagog MIDI input with SONAR:
1. Open the
SONAR plug-in manager and select Drumagog (Fixed Latency) from
your list of VST Audio Effects. Click Plugin Properties and check
Enable as plugin. Close the Plugin Manager.
2. Open SONAR and open a project with the MIDI track you want to trigger Drumagog
with. Create a new audio track and open it's FX bin. Look under
"Soft synths" for Drumagog (Fixed Latency)
and select it. Do not select anything under "Audio FX"
or "vstplugins".
3. In the Drumagog window click the "Advanced" tab and click to
enable "MIDI In Enable". Under MIDI port select "Internal
Port".
4. In your existing MIDI track choose "Drumagog (Fixed
Latency)" under Output. Also note the MIDI channel and MIDI
note you are using.
5. Back in Drumagog's Advanced tab select the appropriate MIDI channel and
MIDI note. IMPORTANT: SONAR and Drumagog use different MIDI standards
for note values, so the MIDI octaves will not match. Drumagog's
MIDI note C3 (the default) equals MIDI note C5 in SONAR. Here's
an example: if your MIDI snare part in SONAR is note D2, set Drumagog's
MIDI note to D0.
