I think I'm going nuts... Should be the simplest thing in the world in Ipswitch Update 1, I've done it before I'm sure..?
 
I'm trying to route audio into a softsynth sampler (Geist). Geist does include a plugin called "splitter" which makes it easy, but want to do it from Sonar. So in effect this could be for any sampler.


Here are my steps....
 
1) From browser add Geist soft synth.
2) Add audio track.
3) Drag in some looping sample into audio track and loop it.
4) Route output of audio track to Geist sampler.
5) Configure Geist to receive audio signal source
6) Play in Sonar.
7) Record sample in Geist sampler.
 
I'm stuck on step 4!
 

 
 
Cheers...

Here is a video I just saw about Giest and Sonar on YouTube.

I have BFD Eco that I purchased about a year ago and I really like it.  Easy to set up with Sonar.
 
Do you insert Gieist as a soft synth, If not,  this way would be a lot better off.  Check off the synth property page & Midi Source & First synth Audio Output so Geist is always set up to use. 
 

 
 

 
I hope this helps

OK this is weird. I had tried this before and it didn't work now it does.
That is at step 4 you must have the Geist sampler in the FX bin of the audio track playing. Now it works. There's some hiccup here and I don't know what it is... but it works for the moment..
 
Which is leading me to another question (show you out of touch I can be).
 
These steps...
 
1) New blank project
2) In the browser add a synth. In the insert soft synth options make sure everything is unticked, so no tracks are created.
3) Create an empty audio track.
 
So I know I can route the output of the soft synth into the input of that audio track.
Instead though, how can I get that synth into the FX bin of the track? I know there are other methods, but I'm particularly looking at what to do after these steps. Cheers.

@Jessie that's just setting up a soft synth for normal playback (audio/midi). I'm routing the output of an audio track into the input a soft synth so it can create sample from audio within Sonar. Check my steps.. Thanks anyway worked it out. The second post of mine (#3) remains a mystery however...
 

OK think I've found a bug I'll create a new thread to avoid confusion!

Don't forget to update all your drivers, do a vst reset and then a vst rescan...

Hoho once again.

There's another bug out of this but I haven't quite got a grip on it yet..

I wish that Splat character would go away...

Your confusing the crap out of me. I have not tried the track routing in Ipswich yet, but are they exposed to plugins or just internal to SONAR?

Inserting a multitimbral VST into the FX bin on an audio track just sounds like asking for trouble to me.
