I'm trying to split a midi drum track to seperate tracks via the CAL routine. When I run the "split note to tracks" I get this error message.

CAL error 023
Cannot open include file
Need20.cal

Help !!!! Has any body run into this before? If so what is the deal?


Alan.
 
Looks like split notes to tracks uses another file that it cannot find. Do a search for that filename...
 
Thanks for the reply, but I tried that and it came up with zip.
Some of the CAL routines work and some dont, needless to say the one I really want to use "split notes to track" is one of the later. I think I'll have to go back to the old copy/paste/delete method, which is a pain in the ass when I am using Pro Audio 9.
I normally stick with audio for most things but wanted to split everything down and then mess around with different soundfonts and record to audio, then mess around with some FX.
I just thought there may be a quick fix someone knew about.
 
If you came up with zip, that's why it won't work -- the named file's not available to it. Take a look and see if it's on the CD... it should be in the same directory with the rest of the cal files (I have thirteen files with the extension cal in my C:\Program Files\Cakewalk directory).
 
Maybe its lack of time, maybe its just frustration but I can not find any file CD or otherwise named 20.cal. I have many Cal files but not this one. (aint that always the way) If you could mail me a copy of said file I would be eternally grateful.
I know it aint the biggest problem in the world but it would just save me some time.
 
Yep, your right.
Spotted that just after I'd sent the last reply. Anywaze I dont have either 20.cal or need20.cal.
If you feel the need or have the time I would like said file.

matrixis@emirates.net.ae

Like I said, its no biggie but it would help.

Thanks in advance

Alan.
 
Thank you good Sir,
Or as they say is this part of the world "Shuck-ran". Arabic for thank you, thats not how you would write it, but it is how you would say it.
 
I have thirteen cal files also in Sonar.

Here is mine:


Below is cal.txt

Rename it to:

Split Note To Tracks.cal

Hope this works for anyone who needs it.
 
This CAL file has an include statement, so it needs to find and load up need20.cal too.

But it's also a little silly, beacuse the actual code in that second file is only a few lines. and they appear in the beginning of split notes to tracks.cal too!

So it essentially checks for version 2.0or higher twice.

So if you have this file but not need20.cal, and get that error message Alan described, you can either get the file, or comment out this entire line:

(include "need20.cal"); Require version 2.0 or higher of CAL

as long as you see right above it

(if (< VERSION 20)
(do
(pause "This CAL program requires CAL version 2.0 or higher")
(exit)
)
)
Hope that's clear...
 
isn't it possible to download this stuff from the cakewalk site????
 
Maybe, kennedy, but it's well hidden. I found a link to an ftp site

ftp://161.58.92.190/pub/CAL/

but they only have 4 CAL scripts in their, and on pack of 26 others, but none of these are the one Alan was looking for.

They do have the Split notes to tracks.cal script there and maybe it's a version that doesn't actually call need20.cal... I didn't bother checking.
