Dr-880 midi volume data rx midi volume is on and has been...still stumped here....I'll keep trying..thanks

Hmmmm....Your Audio interface(UA25) IS the DR...It will not show up DR880, as you are using the UA25 as it's interface. I don't know anything about the UA25, but it should have Asio drivers. I would try them and definitely use your UA25 as your input\output devices. It's been awhile since I tried the USB cable, which I might try again here soon. I thing it shows up in the devices as Boss DR-880...I can't remember though...hope this might help some...I'm trying! lol David

...and sorry...I was in between things and didn't mean to assume you were using anything other than Asio drivers...sorry if I confused you!

Ok, problem solved...at least this one...I know there will be plenty more...But the cakewalk tech help gave me this explanation plus a bit of help from chuckebaby..
Problem/Questions: How to hear sound from MIDI.

Solutions: Go to Insert | Soft Synths -> Cakewalk TTS-1. In the Insert Soft Synth Options, make sure the box for Simple Instrument Track is checked, then click OK.




Next, select the Cakewalk TTS-1 Track so it displays in the Inspector




Go to Edit | Select -> All to highlight all of your tracks.




Then in the In/Out section of the Inspector, click the lower of the two drop boxes (for output) and choose Selected Track Outputs. Drop the box for MIDI Outputs and choose Cakewalk TTS-1 and hit OK. This will then change all your MIDI track outputs to go to the Cakewalk TTS-1 which will output as audio.

Don't understand why it works, it just does and now I can control my volume...Thanks everyone for helping out, I'm sure I'll be back for more soon....

Hello to everybody!
Can I ask some questions about using DR880 with Sonar\CakeWalk?
1. I usually use Controller 11 (expression) to make some dynamic in track. Strange
DR880 don't understand it. What to do? Use only Controller 7 (volume)? Not
good...
2. As I read in manual - it is possible to save many settings (to say better -
 ALL settings) using Bulk. Does that means it is also possible to operate DR880 using
 SYSEXs? Maybe in real-time? Maybe it is possible to input SYSEXs in MIDI track?
Where it is possible to get know this information? No words about DR880's SYSEXs
in Manual..
I remember that I made CakewalkStudioWare for my Yamaha synth and using SYSEXs
operated with many of it's functions.. Does it possible with DR880? Any ideas?
Thank you!
