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!
