Topic: MIDI with DAW Only using Cakewalk
Greetings,
I am new to this forum and in the process of evaluating various ways to get organ sounds into my church hall. We bought a building that is not like a traditional church building. It is not configured such that we could ever fit in an organ console or the types of speakers normally associated with a electronic church organ.
I use Cakewalk for my MIDI sequences. I understand MIDI fairly well and have USB MIDI and audio interfaces. There are only a couple of options for getting organ sounds into the facility. One is by using a MIDI keyboard to drive a hardware MIDI organ device. This is not ideal because the digital keyboard is an old and rather primitive instrument.
The other option is driving a MIDI device or a software MIDI instrument with a laptop using Cakewalk. I am considering OrganTeq or Viscount Laurel. I am not sure which would be more practical and hoping someone on this forum can offer some insight. As I understand it, OrganTeq is software, while Viscount is hardware. In either case, I would use the laptop to run sequences.
Please give input on how easy or complicated it is to use OrganTeq with Cakewalk.
Thank you,
