KS with Sonar 7

edited April 2008 in General Questions
I'm really enjoying experimenting with these great trumpet sounds... but I'm having a problem getting the key switches to work with my sequencer (Sonar 7).



I've put a nice 4 count high D in place, my CC 11 envelope allows me to hear it just fine. Now, I've added a B 1 whole note on beat 3 of the D with a velocity of 100... and I expected to hear the D for two counts with some sort of fall occuring on beat 3...



I still just get the full four counts of the D, no fall. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?



Also... is there any way to post a few MIDI files somewhere? Seeing some of these effects in action would certainly answer a LOT of these early questions!



Thanks!

    Hi Kurt,



    I'll tackle this issue tomorrow. Could you please send me your midi to test in the meanwhile?



    Thanks and best regards,

    I could verify that .mid and even mp3 are accepted as attachments provided that they are compressed as zip or rar files.



    Let's see how it works.

    Hi all!



    I sent my midi file to Peter and got a quick response. (I didn't quite know how to attach a file to the forum posts!) He looked at the file and said that the note that Cakewalk Sonar 7 was calling "B1" was actually "B-1", a note two octaves lower than what that Trumpet software was looking for to activate the Key Switch fall.



    I just tried transposing that Sonar "B1" up two octaves - and what do you know? It works great!



    The Trumpet software calls middle C = C3.

    Sonar calls middle C = C5.



    So Sonar users: the Key Switch note for the fall is called "B3" in the Cakewalk program. I assume all the other Key Switches are two octaves higher, too.



    Thanks for the quick answers guys! Can't wait to try out a lot more of the Key Switches!
