How I configure NI Maschine as a synth in Sonar X2a (Video tutorial)

I made this tutorial for anyone who wants to use Sonars sequencer with NI Maschine only as a sound source while still being able to use the Maschine controller or a keyboard controller.

I don't have this configuration - but I wanted to thank you anyways, because this will help SOMEONE and was quite kind of you to put out there for folks.

very informative video (i watched it the other night when it was posted over at the Maschine forum) because i was trying to get a tip on how i could get the drag & drop feature to work (Maschine pattern/scene dragged and dropped as MIDI) because for some reason, i can't seem to get that happening

This is awesome thanks for this.
But i have sum wrong somewhere still. I can't play the pads on maschine mikro and record. I can hear them but they're not recording.
I'm also using a Novation Impulse 61. i can play from there and record. I must have supm in prefrences or in maschine settings wrong.

Hi dahjah, make sure your controllers are available and selected by checking Preferences/Midi/Devices in Sonar

I can play the pads on the machine but when I hit the pads they aren't recording. When I hit the play button it is following Sonar but still won't let the sound record into sonar. I'll eventually find it somewhere.

Re: How I configure NI Maschine as a synth in Sonar X2a (Video tutorial) 2013/08/28 23:48:18 (permalink)
I had other pressing matters I ad to do thus the reason why it`s taken me so long to get back to this.
So here goes:
first of all I use the VS 700 system, but I also like to make tracks in Maschine on it`s own.
I have the Maschine Mikro hooked to the pc through usb as well as the Impulse61. Before the migration to windows 8 from 7, I could use the transport on the impulse61 to control the maschine, which is much easier when I can concentrate on the one keyboard while recording in Maschine. So at this point I can play sound in Maschine from the keyboard but the transport I still can`t control for some reason.
 
In Sonar I can control the transport of Sonar from the Impulse61, I can also record in Sonar while using the keyboard (Impulse61)
In preferences in Sonar I have (MIDI) all checked in Devices that I use including Maschine Mikro and the Impulse.
I have no idea why when Maschine is a plugin I can`t play the pads on the Maschine and get it to record the performance, but when I use the Impluse I can, and when I`m outside of Sonar I can`t control the transport of Maschine from the keyboard. I feel they are connected somehow.
