Hi all!

I've got some old midi files from Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 on a windows 98 machine and I want to find out the best way to record them. All of the sounds are from a Roland XP-80. I finally want to update and finish the projects- so do I record track by track of real audio from the XP-80 into Ableton or can I somehow preserve and move the original MIDI data from Cakewalk into Ableton as MIDI files and have Ableton trigger the XP-80 with all the original parameters intact? I'm running a MacPro and have Ableton and Garage Band.
Thanks for your help!
 
You should just be able to re-use the MIDI file in Ableton without problems.
If there are any strange entries inserted by Cakewalk you can edit them out if necessary.
But MIDI files are supposed to be transportable between any MIDI sequencers.
That means with a ".mid" file extension, not a Cakewalk project file e.g. .cwp etc.
