MIDI editor doesn't work in Sonar X2 producer
If I mark a track resp. a clip inside and try to open the MIDI editor, nothing appears.
I tried all possibilities: by menu, by shortcut ALT +3 and by double click on the clip.
The other two windows like note editor will appear in the multidock immediately.
I'm using an X2 updated by the patch producerX2apatch. System: WIN 7 Professional.
Formerly I never had such problems in X1.
Very annoying!

Hi. What does happen, when you double click on it?
Best of luck.

Hi. nothing happens as I told above. I contacted the support, hopefully I'll get an early response.

Ok. Sorry. Just wondered if something else opened. Hope you get it fixed.

What do you mean by MIDI editor?
"SONAR provides several views you can use to edit MIDI data. You can specify which ediitng view
should open by default when you double-click a MIDI clip. To do so, click the Track view Options
menu, point to Click Behavior > Double-Click > MIDI Clips, and select the desired default editing
view. The options are as follows:
• -Nothing-. Prevent any view from opening when you double-click a MIDI clip.
• Event List View. Open the Event List view when you double-click a MIDI clip.
• Staff View. Open the Staff view when you double-click a MIDI clip.
• Piano Roll View. Open the Piano Roll view when you double-click a MIDI clip.
• Inline Piano Roll View. Open the Inline Piano Roll view when you double-click a MIDI clip."

Thanks for your advises. What do you mean by MIDI editor? = Piano roll view I have checked the track view options. The setting for double-click is (and was) = Open the Piano Roll view. Nothing happens. The other options (step sequencer etc.) do shown up in the Multidock. I reinstalled Sonar today (with administrator rights) and updated it by the patch producerX2apatch. The same situation. I never had like this in X1. The shortcut alt + 3 (show piano roll view) doesn't work as well. Now I'll try to reinstall the C++ runtime files (2005 and 2010) and recently I have no mores ideas.

A very outside chance, but you didn't happen to previously save this project (and screenset) on a computer with 2 monitors did you? I had a quirky problem like that once in X1. It was opening the prv on a screen that was no longer there, so as a result it looked as though nothing was happening!

No, I am using one monitor only, also in the past. In the meantime I updated to Sonar professional. For a short time (a few days) I had got the piano roll view and was happy. Now it is disappeared forever again. No chance to open it by double clicking a clip or by using the shorcut alt + 3. I deinstall Sonar X2, maybe the two version don't like each other - the same.

De installing Somar won't change a thing unless you also edit the registry as well as manually delete a few particular folders. There is a known procedure to do this properly.
It sounds like you have a screen set that is locked and is not allowing you to get at certain functions.

Is it possible that the prv is minimized? Did you ever drag it out of the multidock? Just thinking outside the box.

A deep chesty bawl echoes from rimrock to rimrock, rolls down the mountain, and fades into the far blackness of the night. It is an outburst of wild defiant sorrow, and of contempt for all the adversities of the world. - Aldo Leopold

This is my next step (I'm software developer), I think I have to do:
- removing Sonar completely,
- deleting all registry entries
- reinstalling Sonar.
However, starting the piano roll view in Sonar is a calling a subprocess (in a dll), probably there is not a separate registry entry for it.
But I have no choice, just investing a lot of time into the reinstalling process.

Do you have the issue even in a new project created using the Normal project template?
1. Create new project.
2. Insert MIDI track.
3. Hit ALT+3.
Does the PRV open as expected?

Thanks for the advise. Yes, I did it.
In Sonar profeessional I created a new MIDI project, insert a MIDI track. No improvement.
The other options, event list, step sequencer shown up in the Multi Dock immediately.

@Resonant Serpent
Did you load a drum map?
No, I didn't.

@DRank "Is it possible that the prv is minimized? Did you ever drag it out of the multidock? Just thinking outside the box." No, I couldn't drag out it, because it doesn't exist (or it's invisible)  If you open a new window like event list or step sequencer, you see the name of the new window in the multidock - minimized or not.

The problem has been solved!!!
The solution is: Sonar WAV's use diverse MS C++ runtime versions (C++ redistributables 2005,2008,2010,2012,2013). This distributables have to be kept up to date by downloading them from Microsoft download center. I had an obsolete version.

I don't think I've ever heard/read of such an issue during my relatively long forum activity.
And I'd never have guessed that this problem was in any way wav-related, as it was about Piano Roll.
Well, who am I to comment :o) I have an XP-setup running SONAR 8.5.3 and it hasn't been updated or touched in any way in about ten years (except for the installing of 8.5). Even when I replaced the three HDDs some five years ago I simply cloned the old ones, nothing else.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.
