Carol, I don't believe there is a great deal of difference in the
benefits of the two methods. My DKV sometimes thinks the key sensors
are out and gives me a recording of the pedals only. That hasn't
happened when recording with Cakewalk. Another benefit is that for a
long recording session using Cakewalk, I needn't concern myself about
running out of memory and losing my work. Third, if I eventually want
the file in MIDI format anyway (as opposed to E-SEQ), I've saved some
effort.
