No MIDI output
I can't get SONAR Home Studio to do something very simple: play a MIDI file and send MIDI messages to an external hardware synth connected to a USB MIDI output port. I connected an external hardware synth to output port "E-MU XMidi 1X1 Tab" and selected that port as the MIDI Output in Preferences\MIDI\Devices dialog box in SONAR. However, notes are not played on the external synth when I play a test MIDI file, consisting of a few notes and no other events. However, other MIDI software, including Anvil Studio and an old version of Cakewalk Express, running in Windows 10 on my computer, play the MIDI file and output MIDI messages to the external synth with no problem.
