No Midi note chase?
Hi all, I am a new user of Sonar and bought the Artist version to try it out.
I do a lot of arranging work using the piano roll, especially for string/orchestral arranging. For this, it is essential that I can edit multiple tracks in one window, AND that midi chase is enabled so I don't have to scroll back to a "logical" point in the arrangement to hear the last chord I arranged. I just scroll back a bit and hit play.
But lo and behold - Sonar doesn't do that, whatever I try! I can't find an option to enable note chasing... That's really a big thing for me and something I have never encountered before in any other program - Samplitude, Pro Tools, Studio One, Cubase, Logic - they all have options to enable/disable this.
Why is that not an option in Sonar? Seems pretty rudimentary in my opinion...

It doesn't - thankfully (or at least not without an option).

However...SONAR now does not mute MIDI when you mute audio for a soft synth, which is a step in the right direction. The way it worked before was if a synth was muted, a note-on occured, and you unmuted in the middle of the note, it would not sound. Now it will, because the synth will have received the MIDI data and turned the note on, even though the audio was muted.

Sonar has MIDI searchback capabilities, it will search back to the latest patch change and/or controller change value and use that, no matter where you start playback, i.e, if you start playback at measure 55 and at measure 24 there is a patch and/or controller change, Sonar will use those values. What Sonar cannot do is start in the middle of a long sustained note (say a tied whole note over 3 measures) and play that note. I've noticed on occasion Sonar's searchback function (since the X series) sometimes doesn't work. The workaround is to select the entire track, or piece, and choose "apply trimming" and "bounce to clip". This fixes it. JG www.jerrygerber.com

More like "not available" than "not working". As Steve posted "Feel free to add your vote for this feature request http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3100418" EDIT: If you're done working on a track/section, you can freeze/bounce it to work around this MIDI limitation. Retriggering a MIDI note is not the same as restarting audio playback so "chasing", though useful in some contexts, is not a silver bullet for this problem.
