Developers aren't charities, they can't be expected also to work for free. I'd gladly contribute a bit just to make sure it's treated more seriously by other companies, however that would work. I guess this is the price we pay for it being free now even though I never wanted it to be free. Now I'm using CBB and somehow FL has arisen to be above the mighty Cakewalk so peopel prioritise that instead? FL is a kid's toy and I used it to play around and have fun with cute beats, when I was paying good money for Sonar. I'm shocked that NI and others (I think Arturia) programme for toy sequencers like Fruity Loops (!!!!!?) but not incredible ones like Cakewalk. I am rather surprised that Cakewalk has slipped such that it is no longer considered worthy to programme for. Many thanks azlow, I appreciate your help. So someone is probably using that already (while I have not seen success reports). transport) is relatively easy to implement, since there are several 'generic' plug-ins with MIDI support.

Not only Cakewalk and NI but also anyone with sufficient skills can provide deep solution (f.e. Details for used protocol are not public, but interested developers can get them. Later NI has enabled MIDI for all S MK2 and A keyboards. Originally, MK2 (unlike MK1) had MIDI steering for DAWs disabled (DAWs had to use OSC for the integration). So no 'as in some other DAWs' integration.

From what I know, no-one has implemented deep integration into Cakewalk for NI keyboards (I don't have the keyboard, but I try to trace reports of deep integration of any surfaces into Cakewalk).
