Problem with Catanya

I am having problems with Catanya playing some presets from my synths such as Diva and Alchemy.  Catanya does not play the sound loudly or fully when playing the patterns but when I record and playback the recorded track then the preset sounds like it should.  I'm working with the full version of Catanya in Sonar X2 64 bit.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steven

    I do not have either of those synths so I could not try to repeat..  I have been playing a lot with Dim Pro and it works flawlessly.
     
    I was going to try kontakt tonight.
     
    The only issue i have had is the odd time notes get stuck....but i think that is something with Vsti midi out enable and Sonar.  Has been buggy for quite a while and the issue has not been addressed as far as i know since 8.5.  This bug was called 'midi cross talk' at one time.
     
    I still cannot understand how midi Vsti routing in Sonar works  (or doesn't) ....seems to always jump around and one vsti will trigger another even though you have all the routing specific to each vsti.  
     
    The big test will be to use jamstix triggering SD3, catanya1 triggering trillian and catanya2 triggering Kontakt in one project.  That will be the real test !
     
    I know this did not help, but like to talk to other catanya users.

    Big test failed....I still cannot run 2 instances of catanya at the same time in the same project.  I used cakewalk supplied vsti only (dim pro, studio instruments)  I am sure this is a Sonar issue as i can run multiple catanya in that DAW that start with an R and rhymes with creeper.
    It works for about 2 seconds and then totally crashes Sonar X2.  The worst kind of crash too....
     
    1) No CW problem reporter
    2) Audio stuck in 2 note loop.  *right up until PC shuts down.
    3) Sonar not responding.
    4) Cannot even stop Sonapdr.exe process in task manager.
    5) Have to reboot PC.
    6) Stuck audio keeps playing until just before windows shutdown splash screen.

    BTW....I had similar issues with catantya recording results sounding different than catanya playing live results.
     
    It was because you only want to record midi on the catantya track.  if you record midi on both vsti synth and cantanya you get a lot of midi notes playing at the same time and cutting themselves off etc.  Hope that make sense.

    I'm not having the problems you seem to have Auto da fe.  Sorry to hear of your difficulties.  Catanya works great on most of my synths.  Diva gives me the most problems.  The recorded results versus live results seem to be a problem.  I can't figure that out yet.

    Snico - If you are not having this problem in with catanya, can you let me know ?  
     
    Try running 2 catanyas at the same using different midi channels.  The yourube vid explains things very accurately.
