SONAR PRO, Massive, and Samson M25

Hey guys,
 
I am trying to get sound when playing Massive within SONAR using a new but mini keyboard- Samson M25.
 
The Samson M25 and Massive play well together as a stand alone. 
 
So I would just like to get these three jamming together in harmony.
 
This screenshot may help.
 

 
 
Should I tweak some settings from 32 bit to 16?
 
 Thank you.
 
Sincerely,
 
Jay

Hi Ken,
 
Its connected by USB.
 
Thank you.

Ken,
 
No I haven't DLed the drivers.
 
I'll do this and see what happens,
 
Thx. ;-)

Hi Ken,
 
No drivers for this hardware.
 
Its just plug-in and go.
 
As I posted before, Massive and the Samson M25 work fine outside of SONAR.
 
Do you have any other suggestions?
 
I'm sure there's mapping to be had.
 
Perhaps in the MIDI section of preferences?
 
 
Thanks.

Hi Jay,
 
I think that when Sonar starts it is taking quite a bit of system resources. Since the usb driver is native, I do not believe that it requires a lot. Your system specs or a screenshot of your system information page would be helpful. Thx.

Hello,
 
I am unable to determine if this is the forum I should be posting this problem in.
 
is this screen shot helpful?

Try using 24 bit instead of 32, and see if that helps. What are your specs? Processor, RAM, etc.?

 
Is this the area within SONAR I apply your suggestion?
 
Btw, these are my current settings,
 
 

 
Please let me know what I can do to supply your team with the best information as possible.
 
If this is no longer the forum I should post in then would someone tell me where I should be posting?
 
 
Thank you.
 
Sincerely,
 
 

Some of the information is helpful.. But to get a better picture of what is happening.. A bit more is required. For example how big are your hard drives and how much free space is on them? Take a screen shot of "task manager" performance tab.. Before starting Sonar and after Sonar has started. See if there is a free memory checker that can be downloaded to determine if there is a bad memory stick (MemTest86) and Microsoft has one also. Does the keyboard work with other synths in Sonar.. Use an  empty project, load a synth and see if you get error with Samson.  In your screenshot is that Massive loaded standalone in the background?. If so, close Massive stand alone , run sonar and load Massive from the synth rack.  I an not sure if Massive standalone is using the Samson and then Sonar calls the Samson Midi driver, if this is not the cause of the error in Sonar. IHTH....

Cool guys!
 
I am going to apply your info and combine it with this cool video on Sonar and MIDI setup.
 
I'll be getting back to you with your keen PC performance suggestions.
 
Then i'll be rollin man! :-)
 
 
thanks!
