Can you do the following with Music Creator ?

I need to create two 500ms tones:
1. At 168hz, with piano timber
2. At 168hz, with violin timber
 
Can I do this with Music Creator ?, if not, is there any other Cakewalk application that can do this ?
Thanks very much to anyone who can help !

ah, patience, grasshopper!  most of us are in the US and are just now getting up and moving around!

168Hz is between E3 and F3, so this is not a direct note frequency you're wanting to create for those sounds (at least not Western definition). 

you should be able to do this using TTS-1 softsynth.  set up a MIDI track and outtput to softsynth TTS-1; set this one up for CHANNEL 1, BANK 0, PATCH = PIANO

you would first put a 500msec NOTE in the PRV at E3.  a QUARTER NOTE at 120BPM will give you 500msec duration.

then you'd need to edit the tuning of TTS-1 in order to get from 164.81Hz (E3) to 168, so you'd need to adjust the tuning from A=440 to A=443.19.  this can be done in the properties of TTS-1.

then set up a 2nd MIDI track with output to the same TTS-1 softsynth.  set this one to CHANNEL 2, BANK 0, PATCH = VIOLIN.  then on the PRV, enter a quarter note.

now you have 2 tracks, one with piano for 500msec @ 168Hz, the other with violin for 500msec @168Hz.  depending on where in the timeline you placed those quarter notes will determine if they play simultaneously or subsequently or if there's a delay between them, etc.

In order to set up a MIDI track, I went to "Insert">"MIDI track". After doing this I see "track 5" was added. Now I don't have "softsynth TTS-1" in the output options, but I do have "cakewalk TTS-1", is this the same thing ?
 

yes.

Next, you said:

We'll, I chose a quarter note, and added E3 note at PRV. The thing is, when I left-click with the mouse on this E3 note that I've created, it says that the duration is "1:000", does this mean 1 second ?, if so, why didn't I get 500ms ? (at the control panel above is says that the tempo is 120, does this mean 120bpm ?) 
Edit:
I've measured the E3 note that I've created and indeed it is 500ms in duration (and not 1sec). 
 

right - 960ppq = 1 quarter note, or 1:000 length
 
glad to help!

shucks - there are others who could answer that!

I must be humble.  I have had problems with pride lately and have hurt someone close to me with words which came only from my pride.
