🛠️Installation

Make sure you have downloaded all three parts:

• The Art Conductor archive

• The Snapshot archive

• The Presets archive

Before you can install the software, you’ll need to unzip it. Please use the onboard tools of macOS or, for instance, 7-Zip on Windows for this task. This is important to note, as the sheer number of files in this archive can result in errors depending on your choice of unzipper app.

Unzipping the Art Conductor archive creates a folder called “Art Conductor Cakewalk” that contains all the content. Open Cakewalk, navigate to Articulation Map Editor, click Import -> Import Directory and choose the entire folder above. Due to the number of files, the Import will take some time.

Once done, you’ll see all the folders and files imported to the Articulation directory of Cakewalk:

From there, please refer to the 🔗 Cakewalk manual to understand what you’re seeing here and how to work with it—the remaining part deals with Art Conductor and some special libraries.

The Snapshot and Preset archives can be stored anywhere you like. You only need those files when working with a few libraries that require special configurations.
