cakewalk professional 2.0 for windows 3.1 (Oct 1992) *download*
ultramars:
until version 4, cakewalk for windows needs a full MPU-401 midi interface. I suppose it might work on a compatible one, but many (most?) sound card of the time could only do UART (=dumb) mode for the mpu-401 compatibility.
I discovered yesterday about softmpu, a terminate & stay resident driver for dos that emulates a clever MPU-401 for games that needs it, enabling the use of regular sound cards. it could work for music program as well i suppose. I'm wondering if it works in windows 3.x as well....

ultramars:
Does anybody have the manual for this version of cakewalk by any chance ?
ultramars:
DOS versions of cakewalk can't trigger samples, but can sequence the FM synth of soundcards: can this windows version also sequence the FM sounds?

After reading further about it, i'm not sure anymore if this is true for the DOS version or for the windows version of cakewalk :p
