Maschine and Sonar

Did you ever get Maschine to work with Sonar? I just got it an I cannot get it to work at my Controller... I have set it up but it just says "connecting..."

I have a template I use , I set up my machine, wired into sonar, I am able to trigger midi notes via my keyboard or the machine controller. I can either make my patterns using machine then I drag the midi pattern into the correct channel, that I had set up before or arm the midi track and play live with maschine or via keyboard, Into that midi lane.
Ok  When you launch Maschine make sure you enable midi out, otherwise it wont work .. You can use 1 audio out or seperate audio outs for each channel,  Its very simple, but I had set up a template , just so I dont have to map it out every time..  In Sonar after you inserted Maschine as a vst and enabled midi out remember that, Sonar makes a simple instrument track , at this point I insert another midi track and then I go to properties make sure midi in goes to the correct channel your using in maschine for instance the first sound is channel 1 so midi in is channel 1 and the out goes to maschine.. Thats what you have to do for each midi track, In order for you to have a seperate audio channels for each midi track you have to insert an audio track and reroute the outs to maschine,, but you have to go into mashine and choose which out you wanna use for each lane. Do it once save as a template,


 OH By far Best Piece Of GEAR I bought In Years.. I use it all the time,, I only load up session drummer now to trigger sidechains . and I never use the step sequencer either, Nor do I use beatscape anymore , and as a sampler its awesome ripping apart a loop has never been easier , Never need recycle ever again.. and the efx I love em , and the marco controls under your synth rack well , makes for a clean straight forward process in automation.. NI has Done it again....
