Check your documentation and see if you can record a sysex dump of your current settings into a blank measure or two at the start of your project. When the project plays back the setup info will then get sent to your synth and you should be good to go. Best wishes.

Hi Luis, I tried both of your suggestions, they make 100% sense to me, but still the same thing is happening. I wonder if it is a setting in the Novation X-Station. Thanks all the same. I gotta figure this out, it's got to work.

Hi all, Any ideas how to solve this problem? With my Novation X-Station synth plugged in via USB, I set a bunch of effect settings, decay, cut off etc. and basically shape the sound to the way I want it. but, then I press record on Sonar and boom, when I press the keys, all the tweaking I've done is lost and the synth plays in it's original default sound. WTF? Any ideas or suggestions? Thankya!
