Sonar and my new Moog Sub Phatty are having a bit of a rough start...
I got me a Sub Phatty yesterday and I love it to bits. I'm trying to get it integrated into my workflow in Sonar and I'm having a few issues:
Issues with the Sub Phatty Editor Plugin (possibly not Sonar specific)
- There are two versions of the editor supplied, the "Virtual Instrument" version doesn't show in Sonar but the other version does.
- The VST plugin gives a "Hardware not found" notice.
Edit: I have found out there is a known issue with the current VI release of the Sub Phatty editor, and it doesn't show in Sonar. I will be testing a beta release of the plugin.
Issue with playback and recording (not really Sub Phatty specific)
- I have the Sub Phatty line out going to one channel on my Focusrite 2i4, and this is routed to an audio track in Sonar.
- I have the Sub Phatty as a controller in Sonar.
- I have a midi track using the input from my A-800PRO routed out to the midi input of the Sub Phatty
After a little tweaking, this is working and I can play the sub phatty using the A-800, which is great.
However when I play back with midi recorded on the midi track, the audio track from the sub phatty isn't monitored. It is only monitored if I record. It's a little frustrating because as soon as I stop the transport I can hear the tail of the playback! Same is true during recording of the midi track, I have to arm the audio track to monitor it, which results in a lot of takes I don't want. I have had similar situations to this before, and I can't work out what I have to change to get that track monitored during playback, any clues? Would absolutely love to hear from someone who has a Sub Phatty working nicely with Sonar, google isn't helping me much with this setup.
