MIDI CC in automap mode and Sonar
Hello, Cakewalk forum, i wonder if anyone and help with a very annoying issue that I'm having;
Briefly i bought a Novation Zero SL MK11(Zero) to control Kontakt 5 - via sending midi CC to controls on the instrument;
If i run Kontakt 5 standalone - and i setup the Zero for midi CC in automap mode - i can easily map/learn control on Instruments in K5. I've run the midi utility - MIDI-OX as a diagnostic aid , so that i can see the CC message leaving the Zero.
However this isn't how i use the K5. I use K5 as a Vst instrument in sonar 8.5.
The trouble is i can't get midi activity to appear in the track inspector of a midi track when i move
the sliders or knobs on the zero; I've set midi Input to:All Inputs - Omni, Output to: Kontakt and finally
Midi channel: None. The K5 instrument /patch Midi Ch is set to Omni;
The Automap midi inputs and outputs are enabled under Midi devices in Sonar; And Automap 4 is running in the tray area.
With MIDI-OX running i can see the CC messages, also the sonar midi activity icon on the tray - blinks as i move the knobs and sliders on the Zero. So i think the Midi CC is getting into Sonar ...
I believe once midi CC activity appears in the track inspector things will work.
Any Ideas? Thanks for any help in advance;
(I forgot to mention that i tried my Zero with a demo version of sonar X and i get the same problem);
