A Quick Cakewalk Question

[Navi]

In my class, we're using Cakewalk Home Studio 2 to create an audio collage using various clips my teacher pilfered from the internet. I was wondering how/if I could assign the audio to the MIDI keyboard? So that i'd be able to either a) control the various audio clips from different keys (and when i record, it'll place the clips at the points I trigger) or assign one audio clip to the keyboard for easy pitch shifting and placement.

Is this possible or is it a pipe dream?

Don't think that's possible without some sort of sampler plugin, yo. Can home studio run dxi's? See if there's a dxi on the computer called Cyclone. It's a little loop player/sampler thing that could probably do this, and I know its been bundled with a lot of Cakewalk sequencers for a few years.

Yeah, it's dxi capable but there's no Cyclone. Only Dreamstation, Edirol VSC and Dyad. I could rewire Reason in, but that would probably get me in trouble since this teach is pretty tight in terms of following the guidelines.
