Help with Initial Midi Setup
Hello all,
Newbie here. Just got back into Sonar after a ten or fifteen year absence. I bought producer, was allowed to get it at the upgrade price as I had registered my original product so many years ago. I am really enjoying the soft synths that were not available when i was using it back in the day. My question is in regards to a midi setup for my system. I apologize in advance if this was answered previously but I could not find anything related to a setup with an external sound module in a way that I could understand what they are trying to explain, even on you tube or google.
Currently I am using a Roland JV90 as my controller, I am using a EMU 1x1 mid interface to connect to my pc. Everything works fine as far as connecting to the pc and controlling the soft synths. I also have a Roland XV5080 sound module. (Yes I really enjoy the Roland sounds. ) I was able to download the instrument definition for the XV5080. I currently have the XV5080 connected to the JV90 with a midi cable running from the in on the XV5080 to the through port on the JV90. How do I set the controller to trigger XV5080 sounds and have Sonar recognize them. I don't think this setup is correct because when I play a key on the controller the XV5080 doesn't no seem to recognize that a key has been played.
So I guess I have a bunch of questions. How do I connect so I can hear XV5080 sounds again? How do i get these all connected together so midi signals using the XV5080 module can be used in Sonar? Is their a way by utilizing just one controller to get XV5080 and soft synths sounds in one project? Do i need a second controller for the XV5080 and another Midi interface? Do I need a 2x2 midi interface. I have an M-audio Delta 1010lt on my old computer. I bought it when I originally started getting into Sonar. I can take it from my old computer and put it in the current one if it would help. Any help you guys can givewould be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
