Starting SONAR
Figure 6. The MIDI - Devices section
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Check one device at a time in the Outputs window and click Move Checked Devices to Top to
change its order. Then check all the devices that appear in the window to select them for
output.See “MIDI - Devices” on page 1666.
Tip: Be sure to select MIDI output devices in Edit > Preferences > MIDI - Devices . If you don’t do
this, you won’t hear any of your MIDI instruments when you play songs in SONAR. You do not need
to enable any MIDI output devices if you are strictly using software instruments.
