Sonar
In order to use MIDI Control in the Harmony module in SONAR and other Cake-
walk hosts, you must load the VST version as a Synth. If you do not do this, you
will not be able to control the Harmony module from a MIDI track or controller.
SONAR can only send MIDI information to VST plug-ins it classifies as an
"Instrument" - so you need to tell SONAR to use Nectar 2 as an "Instrument"
before you can use MIDI Control. After taking these steps, you'll be able to find
Nectar 2 listed under your "Soft Synths" rather than "Effects," but you'll be able
to add it as an insert effect to any track or bus.
Configure Nectar 2 as a "Synth"
1. After installing Nectar 2, go to Cakewalk's Plug-in Manager (Tools | Cake-
walk Plug-in Manager).
2. Next, find Nectar 2 in the directory of VST plug-ins that are displayed and
select it in the list. (if you don't find it here, you may need to hit Scan VST Plug-
ins first.
