'''Cakewalk''' by Twelve Tone Systems (later Cakewalk, and now Roland) previously wrote its MIDI sequences as .WRK files.

.WRK files are loosely based on the [[MIDI]] file format. They can contain embedded samples which trigger during the sequence. They also contain additional data not found in a standard MIDI file such as track delay, track transpose, track velocity offset, comments and editing time.

The Drumstick open source library can work with .WRK files: https://sourceforge.net/p/drumstick/news/

The [[Cakewalk Bundle (BUN)]] format encapsulates the project with its associated files (e.g., audio files) in a complete archive.
    
Newer versions use the [[Cakewalk Project (CWP)|CWP]] format instead, with the [[Cakewalk Bundle (CWB)|CWB]] format for bundles.

Other Cakewalk file formats:
* [[Cakewalk Dump Request Macro]] (.drm)
* [[Cakewalk Instrument Definition File]] (.ins)
* [[Cakewalk Sample Definition File]] (.sfz)

To be added to this page: a description of the file format taken from the source code of the library.
