connecting to computer using sonar 8
23 Oct 2009, 20:15Hi,
I have a fantom g6, sonar producer 8.5 and an edirol UA-25EX.
I am trying to connect the FG6 to my computer so I can play VST instruments in Sonar using the FG6 as a controller. I have installed the FG6 driver. I have connected the FG6 USB cable to a port on the computer. I can open Sonar, insert a VST instrument (in this case TTS-1). This gives me a midi track and an audio track. In the midi track I can select the FG6 as the input for the midi track and I it's output is set to the TTS-1 Audio track.
I can select an instrument in the VST (TTS-1) and when I press the preview button I can hear the instrument, but when I try to play the FG6 - I get nothing - no sound. It's like the FG6 is not tansmitting any midi to the computer.
I have also tried connecting a midi cable from the FG6 (midi out) to the UA-25EXx (midi In), and setting the sonar midi track input to the UA-25ex, but that doesn't work either.
I also downloaded a free program (MIDOX) to watch midi signals from FG6 to the computer but it doesn't see any midi signals comming from the FG6 either.
What am I missing here?
Does anybody have a step by step instructions on how to connect the FG6 to a computer and use Sonar 8.5's VST insturments?
. I just can't get it to work no matter what I try.
