help w/SD 2 & bouncing

I'm kinda crushed here...I'm so used to bouncing midi to audio in sonar 8 - now I just got a ketron SD 2 & am really enjoying the sounds yet...am unable to bounce it to track like I could w/a softsynth.
Anyone know a workaround?

    You can record the ketron audio output onto a track through your sound card. Sonar sends your MIDI to the ketron while capturing the audio. It's slow, but you could think of it as being like one of those VSTi's that doesn't work right for fast bounce. Even better, pretend you are working in the era before there were VSTi's. And maybe look forward to the day that someone makes a ketron SD 2 emulation VSTi.
     
    If you have multiple voices on multiple midi channels, and you'd like to have different effects on each, record each onto its own track. If you are mixing with other audio or softsynths, you can now mute or archive your midi tracks. Then you can mix and export the whole song.
     
    You've discovered the downside of external synths.

    ^^^Good answer.

    I don't consider it much of a downside, though. I use external synths extensively and although I enjoy the comparative convenience of soft synths, there are many advantages to outboard hardware. No waiting for them to load, no latency issues, no CPU overhead. And no hardware synth has ever crashed anyone's DAW.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
