when i record something on my keyboard, (more than 1 track), and save it to floppy and when i open it in cakewalk the whole song is only on one track, actualy 2, the other one is master track. what should i do to make each instrument on it`s own track, instead all notes on one track in cakewalk music creator? It even happens on other softwares.

Vadim, There are two formats, 1 and 0..One format records 16 midi channels to 16 tracks...the other records 16 midi channels to one track...All you need to do is resave the sequence to your preferred format..

Clarify: Midi Format 0..16 channels, 16 tracks..

Midi format 1..16 midi channels, 1 track..

Oh, i get it now, but my Arranger keyboard(Roland VA76), only saves in one format.

never mind. i know what i did, I shoud of save it after entering and exitong 16 track sequencer, not after just recording with styles and saving right away.
big lesson for me today.
thanks very much.

Cakewalk splits midi format 0 song files into individual tracks anyway, so from an edit viewpoint it looks the same whether you edit midi format 0 or midi format 1 songs.
