Recording
3. Click the MIDI Inputs button that’s at the bottom of the dialog to open
the MIDI inputs dropdown menu.
4. Choose track inputs from these choices:
• None—this option actually sets the Input field to Omni: with this
setting the track will record any MIDI input coming in on any
enabled port (MIDI interface input driver) on any channel.
• All Inputs-(MIDI Omni or MIDI ch 1-16)—with this setting the track
will record any MIDI input coming in on any enabled port (MIDI
interface input driver) on any channel, unless you choose a
particular MIDI channel instead of MIDI Omni. Then the track will
only record input that’s on the MIDI channel you chose.
•(name of MIDI input driver)-(MIDI Omni or MIDI ch 1-16)—
choosing this option causes the track to record any MIDI channel
coming from the named MIDI interface input driver, unless you
choose a particular MIDI channel instead of MIDI Omni. Then the
track will only record input that’s on the MIDI channel you chose,
from the named input driver.
• Preset—if you’ve created any preset collections of input ports and
channels, you can select one here.
• Manage Presets—if you want to create or edit any preset
collections of input ports and channels, you can select this option
(see following procedure).
5. Click OK.
SONAR shows new track inputs in the Input fields in the Track pane.
To Create or Edit a Preset Input Configuration
1. In the Input field of a track that you want to select inputs for, click the
dropdown arrow and choose Manage Presets from the dropdown
menu (this menu is also available from the MIDI Inputs button in the
Track Inputs dialog).
The MIDI Input Presets dialog appears.
2. In the Input Port column, find the input port that you want to use for this
track (if you only use a single-port MIDI interface, you’ll only see one
choice).
3. To the right of the input port, select the MIDI channels that you want this
track to respond to on this MIDI port. Clicking the OMNI button in this
row of MIDI channels clears or fills all the checkboxes in this row.
