Roland System-1 and plugouts help (SOLVED)

 
 
Hi,
I've just bought a Roland System-1 hardware synth and the SH101 plug out, but can't get the SH101 plug out to load into the system 1....
I can insert the SH101 into a song via insert -> soft synth -> VST3 -> SH101.  It shows up and works.  I activated it via Roland website also.  So I think its installed ok.  I used the 64 bit version, since I'm using 64 bit sonar X3.
 
The System-1 is plugged in via a USB cable and is showing up under Preferences-MIDI devices, with both SYSTEM-1 and SYSTEM-1 CTRL listed under inputs and outputs.  I've got both enabled.
I can play on the System-1 keyboard and it records into sonar midi tracks.  And playing the system -1 plays them back from Sonar without issue.   So seems to me the MIDI USB interface is working ok.
 
But when I press the "plug out" button on the soft synth SH101 it gives the error "Either the PLUG-OUT SYNTHESIZER" is not connected, or is connected incorrectly.  Check the connection."
I get the same error if I try selecting SYSTEM-1 via the SH101 - Setting button.  That just stays as SYSTEM-1 (Unconnected). 
 
So I'm not sure what to try or do?  If anyone's got it working and can share their settings that would be great!!
 
One other question, when I have the SH101 soft synth track selected in Sonar and play the System-1 the SH101 soft synth also plays the same notes.  But there's a big delay of almost a second between the hardware and soft synth.  Is that normal for software synths, or a symptom of something else being wrong?
 
Any help much appreciated!!
 
Thanks,
Aulias
 
OK got it!
Need to have :
Sonar - Preferences - MIDI dev - SYSTEM-1 set to enabled for input and output
Sonar Preferences - MIDI dev - SYSTEM-1 CTRL set to disabled for input and output
SH101 Soft synth - Setting set to SYSTEM-1 CTRL for input and output
Then press plug-out on SH101 soft synth and it sent it over fine. 
 
Sweet  :)  I don't feel so bad about selling my real SH101 10 years ago now, hah...!

    glad to hear its working for you!
    get more plug-outs; they are all amazing.
     
    I still have an issue with the System-1 as its the only Synth VSTi I have that requires you to load it via Synth-Insert Synth rather than right clicking in the track pane like every other VST
