  • [Solved] Rapture's cool but frustrating

I use a GR20 guitar Midi device which is fun.
 
It has 3 foot pedal things. One is a regular expression pedal. 2 change purpose depending on a setting on the guitar. I usually use them Glide (shifts pitch up or down) or a sort of sustain which varies depending on the patch. Some times the sustain adds new notes to the hold and sometimes it only holds the the notes ringing when I step on the pedal.
 
Ok...
 
When the pedals are in patch change mode and I step on them, Rapture stops working. Only way I know to get it working again is to close Sonar and re-open it and sometimes that doesn't work. I know there's an easier way.
 
But several times this fact has caused me to switch to another synth from rapture because it's easier than trying to fix rapture. If I have restart Sonar several times, I'll get frustrated enough to stop with Rapture. Now, once the recording is laid down, I can route it to rapture without an issue usually.
 
IDK, shrug. Should I even be asking? I know it's the patch change signal that makes Rapture not work, but I totally want rapture to work!
 
And, just to say, it's my standard recording setting to record the guitar straight on one channel, the left and right gr20 outputs on 2 more, and the midi on another. So, if I want to change patch on the GR20 while the midi track is routed to Rapture, what do I have to do? Close Sonar, change the patch and re-launch Sonar.
 
hmmm.

Filter the patch change data in the Preferences > MIDI > Playback and Recording screen or setup the MIDI Event Filter MFX on the Rapture track.

TY Scook. You know I'd marry you if you asked, right?
 
BTW, this was the reckless Jam I've been hacking away at for a couple of days...

YIKES!  There's probably a country song in there somewhere - I just don't know which country that it would be for....
 
Glad you have it working for you.  When you guys set a wedding date, us forum folks could probably throw together some sort of dysfunctional wedding band.
