Please help......how do i select all the rows of a step sequence in sonar, so that it actually saves all the rows?

Please help......how do i select all the rows of a step sequence in sonar, so that it actually saves all the rows?

Hi Paul.
I don't use the step sequencer so can't help, but I suggest starting a new thread with a title that better represents your question and you will probably get the attention of someone who does:)

Paul, as you select each note, it should be inputting the results directly into a track, just save the project. You can still click on it like a normal mix and edit it again or anything else you want to do with it.

Just dont forget to add an instrument  to the track the sequencer is on so it will play back. the cool thing is you can add or change to any instrument you want while still adding more notes in the stepper or making any changed you would like to.

Yeah i could start a new thread but old mate here may have the answer, mate i saved the pattern but when i loaded it back up in a new step sequencer track, it had only saved one row.......and therefore only loaded one row back up.....So that can only be because not every row was selected when i saved.......I looked up the sonar documentation and it just says save pattern as?and yeah ive saved the song etc etc......although yes it has a limit of 64 steps....

Haha - indeed he may:)
 

I see lots of good advices in this thread, but I would like to know is there any better and more Serious control surface or mixer like Neve Or SSL or Avid that can work with sonar?
Always when I search in internet I see this units are working with PT and honestly have never them with sonar. I love sonar and it is about 15 years I am working with it and I should say as I said before sonar was always more beyond the technology compare to the other DAWs. I am not talking about stability, but just about what it always provides . For example adding an audio effect on clips is something that -as far as I know- PT recently announced it which we have had it long time ago. And lots of other interesting and useful features.
So I think it is the time for CAKEWALK now , specially after announcing for MAC version of SONAR, to co operate with the other companies and make this product more interesting in the professional market.
At this point when any of us want to spend more money for our studio , the best solution for CS is MCU. Why shouldn't be something else for example Duality from SSL? Any of the devices were named in this thread were not the best solution for Sonar even vs700 because you are lock with 8 faders and can extend more faders. I am not talking about fader bank, I mean actual faders. Like 16, 24, 32,64 faders. Always something is missing between our choices. one of them just supports 8 faders , the other one doesn't have transport keys, the other doesn't have jog wheel and ...... and eventually will end up to MCU :) but who ever seen in a really high end studio using sonar with MCU??? When the engineer pay $200.000 and buy a SSL console , defiantly he is looking for a DAW to be most integrated with the console and it certainly wouldn't be SONAR, which is so sad.
 
May be all of I said were wrong, Or may be lack of my knowledge, I would so happy if some one correct me. Or if I am right I hope CAKWALK do something in future.

Hey Paul, not sure why your having a problem saving the pattern, I dicked around for several hours today trying to get sonar to not save and try as I might it did everything it was suppose to in saving the patterns and reloading them back into the step sequencer, its got me stumped my friend.

Reza, do not know why sonar wouldn't work with most control surfaces, I do know why SSL and Neve would not though. They are proprietary and use there own storage system sort of like a full blown pro tools (I hate PT) and yes I did learn how to use long before DAWs became common place.
I have found sonar to be the easiest to set up a control surface with, I use an Alesis keyboard, the QX49 as my control surface and even set it up to control my synths and affects. I have the PT first system because they talked me into trying it out, it is the best of the Avid line but I still like sonar so much more and just do not use the PT. Yes 2000 plus pages of user manual is a lot and most people's eye's glaze when I tell them how big it is but it is worth the read and there are always the tut's on youtube or sonar university to help the visual folks lol.
