Well not really, because i dont use the Venom with the Roland U220, but an Arturia Keylab essential Midi Keyboard, i wrote that in my first post. Most of the time i use my midi keyboard, i rarely plug in the venom. Thank you for the effort anyway, Mark. I do have a Steinberg UR22 Interface (wich has Midi ports), i wrote that in my second post. Im also confused now . How would i play the Roland if the midi in comes from the interface and not from the midi keyboard ? I would have to play the midi into Sonar first and than let Sonar "playback" the notes into the Roland?
Wouldn`t be a good solution for me :-(
Why not? That is actually the correct solution, and the reason why, it seems to me, that you are not having your setup work. Bear in mind that when you play a hardware synth hooked to a sequencer, no matter if it is computer software or a stand alone unit, you play the synth's keyboard into a sequencer track, and the sequencer outputs the midi data back into the synth. Even when it is a synth with its own integrated keyboard that is the best way to set up. That is why all synths have a "local off" parameter that disengages the keyboard from the sound engine so the synth does not get triggered directly by its own keys, in order to avoid double notes.
If you want to be able to use the controller and module without the computer, and it is not convenient for you to change the cabling each time, you can either use a midi interface that can work as a stand alone patchbay, like the MOTU Midiexpress XT, or use a midi merge box that merges the midi out of the controller and the midi out of the computer into the midi in of the sound module. Anyway, I would advise that you stick with using Cakewalk as midi through.
