In addition to using the reference guide to learn CAL there are also extensive CAL help files, accessible when running Cakewalk. Studying all the sample CALs
shipped with the program (and the ones available on our website and elsewhere) is also a good learning method. Also, there is a CAL Tutor program available. It is
on the Musicians Toolbox II CD and is also available from the company that makes it- Clockwork Music. Don't forget that writing CAL routines is for advanced users;
the learning curve for these features is steep, because a user needs to have knowledge of programming languages like Visual Basic, C, or LISP.
