3. In the MIDI track, set VocalSynth as the target.
Hi, it seems no matter what I try I am unable to do this Step 3. The inputs of the VocalSynth don't show up as possible outputs of the MIDI track. I saw elsewhere the idea of using the Cakewalk Plug-in Manager to tell Sonar to configure the VST Audio Effect as a synth, then rescanning plug-ins, but it did not help.
Did you actually get this to work? I can't figure out why it doesn't. I installed VST3 version of the plug-in only. I guess I will try it with VST2 version, but if that doesn't work I've got nothing left to try.
I did notice (after buying VocalSynth) that Sonar is not actually listed as a supported host, and there are no instructions for setting up MIDI mode for Sonar at the IzoTope site. But it does work as a plug-in, just can't get MIDI mode working which is the main reason I bought it.
In hindsight it seems I may have reversed steps 3 & 4, sorry!
4. In VocalSynth, enable MIDI input. (prerequisite for step 3)
If MIDI input has not yet been enabled in the VST, then you are not likely to see it as an available output for your MIDI track.
To use this type of plugin in Sonar it must be configured as an FX, so no need to mess with plugin manager.
If you insert the VocalSynth FX plugin on your audio track, enable MIDI input in the VST, and send your MIDI track to the plugin, it should all be good.
