Hi guys, I'm using sonar x2 producer.
I found an old keyboard, casio ctk-2000, the only actual use that i can give this is as a midi controller.
I had used it with X1 like a year ago without any problem, but for some reason, I can't get it to work now.
the problem is that i put a synth in a single instrument track, input CASIO-MIDI ch1, or ch omni, and output master.
no sound comes out when I play, but when I click on the virtual keyboard on kontakt the sound does come out.
Strangely when I run the kontakt stand alone I do not have any problems.

the midi out/in is only via usb, sonar detects the keyboard, and it let me select it , I have it enabled as default midi device in/out, so I doubt is a driver problem.

I'm using a toshiba laptop with windows 7 ultimate and a m-audio fast track pro interface

hope you guy can help me, thanks

Here is the drivers page:

thabks, but drivers are not the issue, i've already downloaded and installed that exact same driver.
plus kontakrt stand alone is working perfectly, the issue is with sonar

I always use separate audio and midi tracks for my keyboard parts.

Just as an experiment, can you try the following?

1.  Insert an audio track
2.  Insert a midi track
3.  Load a soft synth into the synth rack, leaving only the check for the box to open the synth property page.
4.  Load a sound into the synth, when the property page opens up.
5.  Assign the Input for the audio track to the stereo output of the synth.  Leave output assigned to Master.
6.  Sonar will likely have already made the assignment for the midi track output, to the synth you inserted into the rack.  If it isn't already set so, set the midi output for the midi track to the soft synth.  leave the midi input to none, so it will pick up as omni.
7.  click on the midi track, on the number at the left, to select the track.  This should, by default, also turn on the input echo on for the midi track.
8.  You should now be able to hear sound when you play on your midi keyboard, with that sound being the soft synth sound you loaded.

Please post back with the results of the above, hopefully that will work for you.

tried it, sadly it´s still not working.
 
If I click the virtual keyboard on the kontakt 5 screen the correct sound comes out.
And when I try to record on the midi track (CASIO MIDI:IN - KONTAKT5:OUT) no note appears in the track.

I'm gonna try deleting the casio drivers and reinstalling them.
If you have any more ideas please popst back

Thanks

tries uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, didn´t work :(

do you have the echo button on the midi track enabled?

Try going into Preferences in Sonar, then going to midi devices and making sure your keyboard is checked

yes, I have the echo activated.
and yes, the opcion CASIO USB MIDI is checked in IN and in OUT

If you insert a MIDI track and set the input to the same output channel from your Casio, do you see the MIDI activity indicator bar moving up and down as you play?
