I had a look at the Cakewalk repository at Github.
 
Does anyone know what it takes to build the 64 bit versions from the source code at Github? I could not find any documentation on requirements or build instructions.
 
Just recently I encountered some issues in the VS-700 control when it comes to adjusting/saving/restoring direct monitor mixes on the linked Octa-Capture ... and I wonder if I would be smart enough to understand the code ...
 
However, I haven't done any C++ coding in the past 3 years so my dev environment is probably outdated (Visual Studio 2010 Express is what I found when I fired up the old coding work horse) ...
 
 

The code is using MFC, not included into VS free version. At least I have stopped my attempt when I have found that. In the Internet you can find some "tricks" how to install it, but in general you need paid version of VS.
I can not help with that, my plug-in is compiled by GCC since it is not based on CW source code.
 

OK, found it at https://github.com/Cakewalk/Cakewalk-Control-Surface-SDK/wiki/Requirements
 
It's right there in my face and I didn't see it :-)

My attempts to compile was before Github version, so I have not seen the page either ;)
 
Most important statement is still "The Control Surface SDK examples utilize MFC and ATL".
I think the version requirement comes just from included project files, the code is many years old and I guess can be build by old compiler.

I don't feel like splashing out on a new compiler / dev environment just now as it's not cheap and I have no idea whether this will get anywhere ...
 
So, I've got one machine with Visual Studio Express 2010 (hence probably no ATL/MFC) and older machine dusting away in the corner with an older Visual Studio that includes MFC (and probably dates back to when the VS-700 dll was actually coded) which may be good ... and bad as it is probably all 32 bit and never been ported to 64 bit ... oh, boy, that'll be another issue to deal with ... if I even get it to compile ... fiddling with compiler settings and things to link against has never been my specialty ...
 
Anyway, I'll give it a try ... it may be an interesting venture ... it's not my top priority, but something for slower days like Easter weekend maybe ???

I have the full Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate program, and a programming background, but most of that was doing a bunch of mainframe languages.  
 
I have built some C# Windows utility programs for myself, and don't mind jumping in to help in any way I can, but I also do not have the hardware on which I could test anything out.  But I do have 38 years of serious programming experience, if it can be directed at this.
 
If there is any way I can assist, I would be happy to try - I just don't know what I could do.

Hi Bob, that sounds great! Thanks for your offer to help. As I said above I want to give it a try. It's not top priority. I got several recording sessions scheduled this week and an album to finish ... but Easter may be slow and there's rain on the forecasts, which may give me time to try those compilers I still have ...
 
I may be so impertinent and contact you directly via PM if I need help and will only document the relevant stuff here (sort of hiding my incompentence ;-) )
 
Thanks again,
 
Rob

I have a couple weeks of preparation to do for a concert later this month, (23 songs to learn and construct presets for - it's a 3-hour performance with a bunch of different musicians, where I am likely the only keyboard player to share between them all).
 
But I am certainly reachable - shoot me a PM as needed, and I will do what I can - will be quite a learning curve for me, but I am game to try to help.

It has been a LONG time since I wrote anything in C, but I'd be willing to assist as well if you need more hands.

I'm not a programmer, but would like to ask, has anyone got anything working with this project for V-Studio 700?
Thanks in advance
