This is very interesting to me as I don't use CAL scripts.
It seems they have a lot to offer. I don't use Midi all that much, maybe 20% of my project has midi, the rest being Audio (stringed instruments, drums, vocals, exc).
However CAL scripts is something I would like to learn more about. some good reads here in this thread (Promidi, Ron and others) Interesting stuff. thanks.
I hired a software programmer a number of years ago to create a CAL program called Contrary Motion, it takes a group of notes and chromatically inverts them. Very useful for composition although I should have asked him to include diatonic contrary motion as well. If there are any CAL programmers who read this and can do this, contact me and we can work out compensation or barter.
CAL routines are very useful and have been a part of Sonar for a very long time. I use them as they provide an extension to MIDI operations that add to Sonar's MIDI capabilities.

Last thing I want to do is derail your thread, but may I ask, where would be the best place to learn about CAL Scripts ? Im very interested as I believe they can speed up the portion of my Midi workflow.
thanks Jerry
There's probably info on Cakewalk's website about CAL. I don't know how to program, so can't help there, but I can tell you as a composer some of the CAL routines come in handy, such as strum, randomizing note lengths, velocities and start times. Many others. Check them out, input 5 or 6 notes and experiment, that's the best way to learn what they do.
