Tutorial 2—Recording MIDI
Routing MIDI Data to the Keyboard
Let’s play back the Piano track through your MIDI keyboard. First, turn your
keyboard on and make sure it is set up to receive MIDI input on channel
one. Then, do the following:
1. In the Track view, in the Piano track (track 1), click the Output field to
open the menu of outputs.
2. Select the output that your keyboard is attached to.
3. Click the Play button or press the Spacebar to play your project.
SONAR plays the piano part through your keyboard.
Or, if you prefer, the procedure is similar in the Console view:
1. In the Console view (to display, use the Views-Console command),
click the Output button in the Piano module to open the menu of
outputs. The Output button is just below the volume fader.
2. Select the output that your keyboard is attached to.
3. Play your project.
