and MIDI interfaces). However, sometimes you need to tell SONAR exactly
which devices you want it to use. If you’re not getting sound from your
sound card or MIDI keyboard, or if you just want to change the MIDI outputs
and devices that you are using, follow the steps in this section.
Choose Options-MIDI Devices to open a dialog box in which you select
the MIDI In and MIDI Out devices that SONAR will use. Each item in the list
is a MIDI Input or MIDI Output from drivers installed using the Windows
Control Panel.
1. Select Options-MIDI Devices. You will see the MIDI Devices dialog
box, which lets you choose instruments on MIDI inputs and outputs.
2. Look at the top window. Notice that it shows devices on MIDI Inputs;
make sure that all devices in this window are checked. If a device isn’t
checked, click on it once to select it for MIDI Input.
3. Look at the window on the bottom. Notice that it shows devices on MIDI
Outputs. SONAR numbers its MIDI Outputs by the order of the devices
in this window. The device on top is on Output 1, the one below it is on
Output 2, and so on.
4. Check one device at a time in the Outputs window and click Move
Selected Devices to Top to change its order. Then check all the devices
that appear in the window to select them for output.
