Opening projects after MIDI configuration has changed

If any assigned MIDI output devices are missing when you load a project, which is likely to happen if

you transfer projects between different computers, SONAR will do the following:

• MIDI tracks. The Missing MIDI Ports dialog appears and lets you remap the missing devices

to available devices.

• Control surfaces. Control surface output ports are assigned to None.

Automatic MIDI port remapping for control surfaces

SONAR persists the names of MIDI ports that are assigned to control surfaces. This ensures that

the correct MIDI ports are assigned to control surfaces, even if you add or remove other MIDI

devices.

Note: If you do not remap a missing devices, the track’s Output control will display MISSING:

<name of missing device>. If the missing device becomes available in the future, the track will

automatically be assigned to the correct device.
