Unfortunately Sonar does not have the ability to record directly from a soft synth (many have requested it, but for now it cannot be done). You would need to record the midi data, then freeze the track(s) or bounce them to new tracks as HumbleNoise has explained.
You don't have to use Step Sequencer, or PRV to record the midi. If you want to play it from a controller - go ahead.
Keep in mind the drums you are hearing on most modern recordings (especially within certain genres) is tracked via Midi, not Audio. This is done because of it's flexibility, not the lack of it. With Midi you are not tied to any sound and it is much easier to edit the performance.
Don't fix it in the mix ... Fix it in the take!
