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

Hi, and welcome to this forum. I just have to say that this was one of the most informative "first post" I have readGlad that you found the solution.
All the best.
 

Hey,
Yes, all good now, thanks for reading...
Will definitely check out the other plug outs, I've been looking at them all on you tube and they all look good. 
Cheers,
Aulias
