Hello,
 
Situation: I import export a midi file from Sonar X2 and import it into my Fantom G. Now after additional changes in the Fantom G I want to export back to midi file but I get a "Copyright Protected" error. Initially suspected it was the Fantom G producing this but after digging online I found out that Sonar actually puts a Copy Protection to an exported midi file. Does anyone know how can I remove this protection?
 
I know I might be screwed with all the current midi files but I want to make sure future exports do not have this copy protection.
 
Please help.
 
 

Are you, by any chance, running a Japanese version of SONAR?  Japanese language versions have Copyright Warnings enabled.  You could change that behavior by launching RegEdit, navigate to (x86 on x64): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\X2  and changing Language=Japanese to Language=English, but if it's a true Japanese install you may have some sizing and layout issues after doing that.
 
For an x64 install, the key is in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\X2
 
I should add that SONAR does not write anything to the MIDI file regarding this, but will warn the customer if an attempt at changing the copyright is detected.  If you're seeing something in another application (i.e. not SONAR), then it is that application acting in a similar fashion?
