It's been a while since I've used the unitor 8, but there may be two possible
issues here. First, in the midi devices dialog in Sonar, don't check the entry
in the outputs that says something like unitor all. I don't know what that is
for, but it may be causing a problem. Now the other issue may be more of a
problem. I don't think that EMagic has updated drivers for the unitor 8 for
quite some time. As I siad, I haven't tried using mine for quite a while.
Maybe it doesn't work properly under sp2 or something. And of course there
could be a hardwre failure issue. I do have the unitor8 connected to my older
daw, which is the one that has sebilius on it. It just so happens that I have
to use Sibelius to write some choral parts out in the next few days, so I guess
I'll be getting it back up. I'll let you know what happens.

Gord,
I did reauthorize JAWS on the web. Doing this with JAWS 8 also unlocked
JAWS 7 without having to reauthorize JAWS 7 separately. Doing this, solved the
problem of SS and CT thinking that they were unpurchased copies. At least
Sibelius works perfectly and I can navigate through Sonar 5 fine.
Interestingly, my main problem still exists. I can't get two way
communication while Sonar 5 is running. I can't even run Sonar 6 because, Sonar
6 thinks I have a time trial that has expired. I have to talk to Carl Jacobson
about that. However , even with Sonar 5, I can't get any MIDI OUT traffic with
my interface. The interface is my old Unitor 8. I've noticed that, when I'm at
the desktop with no music apps running, if I pres a note, all the MIDI OUT
lights will flash except for port 1. I didn't notice this until Pam moved my
cable on the MIDI OUT side of the interface from port 1 to any other port. In
any other port, the Kurzweil K2500R to which that cable is connected would
sound and its MIDI activity light would flash. I have checked the connections
thoroughly and I am sure that they are solid.
Another problem is that none of my VSTs seem to play. I think this is
more a problem concerned with the loss of MIDI OUT. Would wiping out the
TSSSEQ.INI file and having Cakewalk rebuild it have any value here?
Finally, is there any MIDI mapping I can investigate in Sonar that might
exclude port 1 or something?
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin:
Does your jaws ask you to authorize? Of course you know that you can't run
Jaws in demo mode. What kind of midi interface are you using?

Dear All,
After four months, and a Far East Tour, I finally have the studio
back up, sort of. The problems are these:
1. Both JAWS 7 and 8 say that they are in demo mode. Also, while Sonar
5 will come up, Sonar 6 goes to time trial mode which has expired. I had a
product registration code in my e-mail for Sonar 6 but that appears not to be
the same as an activation code, or vice-versa. I guess I fired the machines up
with some piece of hardware configured just slightly differently than it had
been in the old house. Actually, I did fire the computer up just to se if it
would boot up before I connected all my audio devices. So, that might account
for that problem a la the Tascam 1884 SNAFU. Whatever the case, it still ticks
me off.
2. This is the more important problem. I'm not getting two way
communication in either Sonar 5 or Sonar 6 with my current rig. If I'm at the
desktop with no apps running, I can hear my Triton keyboard play. Local is
off. However, when I fire up Sonar 5, the only one that will run, see above, I
don't hear any sounds from my MIDI keyboards. I have enough vision to see that
I am getting lights on my MIDI IN, but nothing on my MIDI OUT. Also, none of my
soft synths will play.. AS you might expect, when I'm at the desktop with no
apps running, I will see all the MIDI OUT lights flash when every note is
played. That suggests that the hardware is working normally. However, I
should hear both my Triton keyboard and my Kurzweil K2500R play in that
situation. The Korg plays but the Kurzweil does not and I don't see any MIDI
activity lights on the Kurzweil, which I should.
For the record, Sibelius does seem to function fine. It did say
that my MIDI devices had changed when I first fired it up, but quickly choosing
devices brought the expected results.
Last, both my versions of Cake Talking, for both Sonar 5 and
Sonar 6, as well as Sibelius Speaking are now claiming to be uppercased
copies. Albert, if you're reading along, can you e-mail me the authorization
codes I need to bring my CT and SS copies back from the dead? That would be
Sonar 5, Sonar 6 and Sibelius 3.
Thanks,
Kevin
