Recording problem with Sonar 23.2.0.45

If the track is a Simple Instrument track (combined MIDI and Audio tracks associated with a single synth output), and you want to record the audio output from Hauptwerk driven by existing MIDI, you'll need to right-click the track, choose 'Split Instrument Track', and then Arm the audio track instead of the MIDI track.
 
But there's no need to record a soft synth's output in real time, you can just Freeze, Bounce or Export to render the audio much faster than real time.

Hallo! To develop other more complicated things, you can learn from this tutorials:

https://www.hauptwerk.com/clientuploads/documentation/Tutorials/AU_VST/HauptwerkAUAndVSTTutorials-UsingSonarForBasicSequencingWithMIDIViaTheVSTLink.pdf
 The basic scheme is for sonar 8.5....but it works also for  the newest versions of Sonar.

Hello all,
Although the track setup is simple, this is a bit more complicated than a standard setup. The thing to keep in mind is that this template which is pictured in the link above recorded MIDI in Sonar Professional 21.3.0.14. I have not changed anything on it since then.
 
I do not understand the unusual setup but it was put in place because of at the time of the writing of the Hauptwerk tutorial I am using (based on Sonar 8.5.3), Sonar didn't support MIDI sys-ex with VST plugins, hence the use of real MIDI cables. This creates a loop allowing Sonar to record information that it did not before. The MicroLite looping is used to accomplish this.
On the Sonar side in MIDI Devices Input, microlite: Port 2 is chosen. In MIDI Devices Outputs, microlite: Port 1 is chosen.
 
Unless something has changed in the Track view, this should work as previously. As I mentioned the Preferences have changed considerably from the version in the tutorial  and I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what to recheck to make sure that MIDI is getting through.
 
One of the places I would like to recheck is the dialog box that you get when you choose Insert/Soft Synths/ Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ VST Link PlugIn. How do I get back to this dialog box after you have inserted the synch? There is an item there that says "Enable MIDI output." I should have checked it along with MIDI Source, Synth Track Folder, First Synth Audio Output, but I want to make sure I did.
 
Again, many thanks,
Randall
 
 
 
 

I have sent an email to Sonar Technical Support asking if Sonar currently supports Sys-Ex messages with VST plug-ins. If they answer yes, I can get rid of the extra MIDI interface and then be able to have a simple installation.
 
Many thanks for all of your input!
