Hi Steve,
The good news is that you are able to start everything despite things
quickly going off the rails. I had a drum machine via midi that did this
too. The problem was in
Options/project/midi
(those are the menus)
Within the midi menu under project there are 2 page Tabs. One is midi out
and the other is midi sync. Tab through the options within these 2 page
Tabs and then try to start the process by pressing record. Remember you
have to have a track armed before the recording process will start.
I can't remember exactly which one of the 5 or 6 check boxes got
everything
working so that there was no more "drifting", but I remember doing the
happy
dance when it finally clicked.
Try combinations of checking and unchecking.
Otherwise, the number for Mike Skinner of the Streets, is

slave
Thanks so much Tim,
I'll take another look tomorrow. I love music, I only wished I'd kept up
with the changes in the technology.
This is how crazy I got today, I tried to match the sequencer tempo with
the
Sonar tempo then, I hit play in time with the Sonar metronome.
I'd got all the tracks on Sonar quantised to 16th.
I managed to get four bars before they started to drift and after that the
Quantised play back on Sonar was strange to say the least, (if The Streets
had heard it, they would have probably made a hit out of it).
You Guys are so helpful.
Thanks Tim.

Steve,
I think having Sonar as the master is probably your best bet. There's
good
stuff in the Help system. Here's a sequence of actions to perform in
Sonar's Help to get you to the topics you need:
1 - Open Sonar Help;
2 - Press S until you get to "Synchronising Your Gear", then press the
right
arrow to expand it;
3 - Arrow down and you'll get "synchronisation Overview", so press Enter
on
it, followed by F6 and you'll be able to read the topic;
4 - Press Alt+C to get back to the table of contents;
5 - Press the down arrow to get to the next topic - there's quite a few
in
this section of the Help and they're all worth a read if you're going to
get
a handle on this and there's quite a few step-by-step examples.
Let me know how you get on and if I can help clarify anything you don't
understand.
Best wishes.

Hi Tim,
I can access Sync Mode, MIDI Time Clock and the control midi in, on the
Sequencer.
I've set up all the necessary MIDI Channels in Sonar and when I pressed
play
on the sequencer all the MIDI Channels and corresponding sounds perform
perfectly.
After I'd check that they all worked, I set the sync mode and control
midi
in on the sequencer and hit record on the sonar, but nothing happened.
Maybe it would be easier if Sonar was the Slave? Tim, which would you
advise.

Hi Steve,
Do you know if your sequencer is set up to be either the master or the
slave
device? You can't get very far if you don't know the answer to this
question, but I should be able to help further if you can let me know
the
answer.
Best wishes.

Hi All,
I never thought this would be so tricky for me.
I just want to put some tracks from my hardware sequencer on to Sonar.
Mike Christer advice wisely to look in Options menu, as there's info
about
midi but I couldn't find midi sync or MTC.
I'm not able to access the help files as when I press enter on a topic
nothing happens.
I think the help files need me to have internet access which I haven't
got
in my little studio room.
I tried a external floppy drive (as that seemed like a good idea from
Omar)
but unfortunately sonar isn't even recognising that the discs are even
formatted.
If I could only find the midi Sync, midi time clock page, I may be able
to
put these sequencer tracks on to the sonar.
Please! can anyone help.
