Hello,

Wondering if it is possible to do a track change within Sonar X1 with a midi controller?  I have an Oxygen 61, and have set it up as a controller, but there doesn't seem to be any way to change the active track from 1 to 2, etc.  What I'm trying to do is switch between softsynths which are set up on individual tracks.  Any help is appreciated!

Had a "duh" moment in thinking "why not just put the synths on different midi channels and switch midi channels on the controller".  Problem solved :P

That's exactly what I used to do, for live performance.  I would have an instance of Kontakt loaded up with a bunch of instruments, each set to a different midi channel, then switching midi channels on my keyboard would give me instant access to the different sounds.


Since then, I moved to using a program called Forte, from a company called Brainspawn.  (I speak of only for live performance - Sonar is still my beloved recording software).

Forte is MUCH more suited to playing live (nothing against Sonar - I LOVE Sonar), because it is built from the ground up to do nothing but manage multiple VST soft synths for live playing.
