I'm thinking the "give all keystrokes to plug-in" button is to allow the computer keyboard to play notes yet, this is not the case. I can play from the computer keyboard thought the stand alone version yet, not from with in Sonar.

It causes SONAR to ignore the keyboard shortcuts and pass the characters to the plug-in.

It will not play the soft synth?

Only if the softsynth has the capability built in. To use the PC keyboard to play a soft synth SONAR provides a Virtual Controller

I can see the logic in using the Virtual Controller over just using computer keyboard the most a computer keyboard can play would be 3 keys at one time and its velocity could not be set. Don't know if Virtual Controller can play more than 3 keys from a computer keyboard yet I'm pretty sure one could set its velocity.
