Can not enable midi output on sylenth1 and zebra2

Why does not the midi output work with sylenth1 and zebra2 in sonar x3? Albino and Nova Bass Station works fine? On sylenth1 and zebra2 the enable midi output function is greyed out though i enabled it?

    I do not know the capabilities of the synths mentioned. The Cakewalk VST scanner must have determined the synths did not have the capability and set the generateEvents key to 0 in the VST registry for those plug-ins. It does not matter whether the "Enable MIDI Output" is checked or not if the generateEvents key is set to 0.

    Saw your post and thought I would ask this question. What is the purpose of midi out on a softsynth? I've never found a use for it. Am I missing out on something?

    Not all soft-synths output MIDI, Sylenth is one of the ones that doesn't.
     
    Don't have Zebra2 but based on your experience would say it probably doesn't either.
    You could always post a feature request with Urs.

    If I'm not mistaken it can allow you to capture realtime changes made in the plug-in GUI using your mouse while recording a track; without having to map a controller to that gui knob/fader. For example if you're are tweaking filter settings with your mouse.
     
    Maybe someone who actually uses this can shed more light on practical applications.

    As The Steven said you can make realtime captures or record the midi notes from an arpeggiator.

    And there are many VSTs that can be controlled (some of their features) by MIDI from other VSTs.
    Like in making vocoder -type of things etc.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.
