BTW: I forgot to say it in my last post. Thank you for these sets, and as far as I'm concerned, keep em' coming! As I mentioned, I am totally blind, and there's still so much of the Sonar interface, not to mention outboard gear, that is un-accessible to the blind user. Simpley said, we, the blind users, can use all the presets and definition files we can lay our hands on. It's eforts like yours that makes my, and other blind artist, production experience more enjoible. Thank you!

If I recall correctly, after you send the preset to the KSP 88 via Enigma, you have to recall preset 10. After that, the Keystation should save or remember your current setup if you turn the keystation off with the current preset selected. You can also use store to make sure your current setup is saved.

I'm glad the preset works for somebody. When you say you're blind, do you mean literally or figuratively? I'm thinking you mean figuratively.

I see. I hit store after sending the preset, and that did it.. Thank you again.

Nope literally. Blind as a bat, or in my case blinder than a bat because at least bats have some light perception, and I have none. Been that way for, let's see, right at 35 years now. Lost my sight when I was shot from the chest up with Rat Shot.

Ok I did everything you said to do. When you say recall on the keystation pro, you men just press recall? Did that. Nothing works. I just got the unit today, so Im trying to figure it out...

I opened enigma, opened your file with it, sent it to the keyboard via the double arrows, then pushed recall. Then I opened a new project with the 8 track audio preset. When I tried to control the master fader with the C9 fader, no luck....

What am I missing?

I did go into options and set the keystation pro 88 as a controller. That didnt help.

Thanx, Lance

Ok my latest(I JUST got the unit, so Im learning right now lol), that transport buttons are working. Also, I opened rapture and used midi learn and that works perfect on anything in rapture-

C9 still isnt controlling my master fader, working on that...

C9 is not assigned to anything with the new preset files. To assign C9 as Master fader in a project, right click on the Master fader in console view and select "remote control," and use the learn button to assign it.

To recall a preset on the KSPro88 you press recall, and before the display stops blinking, you use the number keys on the KSPro88 to punch in the preset you want to recall. You have to recall a preset after you send the data to the KSPro88 from Enigma.

There is a Keystation preset for the KeyStation Pro88 in the ACT dropdown preset list as of SONAR 8. You can try using that to make your own setups. I've had little success with the preset I've been sharing working as intended.

I've was looking over at M-Audio if they had a preset. They only point you to using ACT. I tried that and I got stuck on how to SHIFT to assigned the KS88 record button to Sonar's record! How do you get shift to work in ACT?

In the meantime I'm going to give these presets a shot.

Thanks!

I am using an M-Audio midisport usb interface with the keystation pro 88. Sonar sees all of my Midisport outs and ins, but not the Pro 88. The only other other in'out Sonar sees is USB-1. I followed your read me text and got the ACT and Cakewalk Generic controllers loaded in. I also sent the Enigma SYSEX file to the Pro 88. IThe display showed that the Pro 88 received the SYSEX file. I can not find any Keystation ins and outs on the midi devices. Anyway, long story short, the only way I can get any of the controls on the Pro 88 to work is to run it thru the in and out of the MMC device. There is not even a selectionfor "none" on the output of the MCC device. Should I unhook the Midisport and just use the Pro 88, or is there something else I am missing.

Thanks

Hi dizzywig:

These setup files were made with the Keystation Pro 88 connected directly to a USB port on the computer. and I don't know anything about the MIDISport. The only thing I can suggest is to connected the KS Pro 88 directly to a usb port on the front or back of your computer (then, you should see the KSP 88 MIDI ports in the connected devices drop down menu for the MIDI plug ins/control surfaces).

I don't know what version of SONAR you are using, but SONAR 8.0 had a ACT Plug In preset for the keystation Pro 88. but I no longer see the preset after I updated to 8.0.1 or 8.0.2.
