Midi track Midi Channel confusion
Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2009 9:09 am
Hi
Sonar 8
I record from my Keyboard controller into Sonar by setting the midi track's "Input" parameter to "MyAudio/MidiInterface - omni". I set the "Output To" parameter to "Dimension Pro".
Then I set the keyboard to send on midi channel 1. The midi data is recorded into the track on midi channel 1. I confirmed this by looking at the EventList view.
Now if I subsequently set the keyboard to send on midi channel 2 and record into the same track after the previous midi clip was recorded, if I go the EventList view I can see that there is data in this same track on midi 1 and 2.
I have a few questions at this point:
Now when I play this track back, is the midi data being output to midi channels 1 and 2?
What is the midi track's "midi channel parameter" for?
How do you set input midi channel for a soft synth? In "Dimension pro" I can't find any midi channel parameters.
How are multi-timbral soft synths handled differently from non multi-timbral ones with regard to setting midi track's midi parameters?
Thanks for any explanations
