I have a new project, drum track only AD 2 with all the midi loops in palce, so I select CAL-Split Note to Tracks and every time it displays the message :The following Track(s) can not be routed to: Split Note C3 would you like to continue. Yes/No
 
Doesn't matter which is chosen as soon as I go to then play one of the split tracks Sonar crashes ...as in restart crash!
 
Anyone have any ideas on this?

Are there any instrument tracks in the project? CAL does not know about instrument tracks and they throw off the track count.

Yeah Scook the track is a Simple Instrument Track created for AD, however the data is MIDI...(Yeah I know you keep saying to ONLY use MIDI tracks and then route them to the VST   )
 
So that being the case (your comment above) the solution would be to move the midi data to a MIDI only track and then run CAL?

fwiw I tried it anyway, and even when the data is on a dedicated midi track and the VST (AD2) is totally removed, as soon as I go to play the track, Sonar still crashes.....

CAL development stopped years before instrument tracks were introduced. Instrument tracks mess with the track count used by CAL. To use CAL scripts which rely on track count such as "Split Notes to Tracks", instrument tracks should not exist anywhere in the project.

thanks - but there is something broke I think!
 
I just copied the midi data, then closed the project , started a brand new one pasted in the MIDI data to a midi track and then ran CAL. Cal splits the notes correctly but as soon as PLAY is pressed Sonar crashes!!

oky doky  Scook, giving CAL a big miss, can each note (if I leave it as an instrument track with AD2) be edited and effected separately?

I imagine there is more information to the actual recipe and the result "Sonar crashes!!"
It is impossible to guess what actually happened from the information provided.

Although I have run the script at various times to if it still works (and it has so far), I have not bothered to actually use the script in years.  Moreover, script it pretty dumb. It does not group all the notes which affect a kit piece into a single track. That would be much more useful than a track for each note. That said, I do all drum track editing in a single MIDI track. I rarely use a single audio track for a drum synth so an instrument track would not be useful in this case.

Scook that is it, it IS that simple truly. Created a simple instrument track for AD2 dragged-dropped all the midi loop parts to it, bounced it all to clips to get a single clip and then ran Split Note To Tracks. thats it m8!!
 
Part two, was simply doing a ctrl-c on the midi data, opening a brand new project with no tracks, inserted a midi track crtrl-v paste then split note to track cal again. The ONLY difference is on the new project I did not get the message as advised in the OP.
