Project Options dialog—MIDI Out tab

The Options-Projects command opens the Project Options dialog. The

MIDI Out tab lets you configure MIDI Machine Control, and two global

controller options.

Choose from the following options:

MIDI Machine Control (MMC)

This section allows you to control MMC devices from SONAR, and has the

following options;

• Transmit MMC—Choosing this option causes SONAR to send standard

MMC commands such as start, stop, rewind, etc., to any MMC devices

that are connected to your computer.

• Timecode Master’s Unit ID—If you have several MMC devices

connected to your computer, for example three ADAT machines, one of

them will be the timing master, and SONAR and the other MMC

devices will slave to its timing. Fill in the ID number of the master

MMC device, so that SONAR’s MMC commands go to the right device.

Other Options:

• Zero Controllers When Play Stops—If you choose this option, SONAR

sets the controller values of the pitch wheel, the sustain pedal, and the

modulation wheel on all 16 MIDI channels to zero. It also sends a “zero

all continuous controllers” MIDI message which turns off other

continuous controllers on newer synthesizers. If you experience

frequent stuck notes when playback stops, try checking this option.

• Patch/Controller Searchback Before Play Starts—If you choose this

option, SONAR finds and sends the most recent patch changes, wheel

events, and pedal events before starting playback. This way, all

settings are correct even if you start playback at an arbitrary point in the

project.
