Where you start with 16 midi track. start from there. insert the Cake Walk TTs soft synth to get sound per example. Also, you can choose Dimension Pro, or any other soft synth. You control the soft synths using a piano keyboard like your Yamaha P70, check if appears on midi tracks input's. If you insert the Cake walk tts soft synth, You just need to go to ietch Patch midi track and change the instruments. If what you want is to use a specific midi arranger or piano keyboard as the instruments source that's another subject, another way to do! regards, Rui Vilarinho ----- Original Message ----- From: Johan Piryns To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 5:50 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Configuring and chosing midi-channels Rui, Are there external soft synths in sonar? where can I find them and so, you have to play on the keyboard so it's neccesary to connect a pianokeyboard of not? regards Johan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Van: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Namens Rui Vilarinho Verzonden: woensdag 6 juni 2012 18:45 Aan: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Onderwerp: [ddots-l] Re: Configuring and chosing midi-channels Hi Johan, Perhaps try starting with a AAA 16 external softh synth template!
