Hi,

Just been reading up a bit on Sonar 5's step recording and yes, you do need
a means of getting notes into the machine.  There was a thread a little
while ago about using the QWERTY keyboard as a note input device - does
anybody have the details, please?  If there is a method of doing this, then
we have a complete step recording system with no MIDI controller or keyboard
required. 


Best wishes.

Don't you have to use a midi controller of some kind to use step recording?
In Sonar 5, step recording is definitely more user friendly than it was in
Sonar 2.
