Cakewalk Application Language (CAL)

Cakewalk Application Language (CAL) is an event-processing language that you use to extend SONAR, Pro Audio and Professional with custom editing commands.

You can write your own CAL program and use or edit CAL programs that other people have written. You also can create CAL programs by recording a series of commands, keystrokes, and mouse actions. SONAR, Pro Audio and Professional translate and save these actions as CAL programs, which you can use or edit.

Downloads

The best way to learn how to create CAL files is to analyze existing CAL files. The CAL FTP Site contains additional CAL programs that you can download and use. If you have written some interesting CAL programs and want to make them available to other users, please let us know. Here are some additional user sites that you can download CAL files from.
