More weirdness in the reference manual. In the tuts on page 119 where it is describing inserting a synth it says:

3. Clear all of the check boxes except for Single Track Instrument, Recall Assignable Controls,
and Ask This Every Time.


I've never seen "Single Track Instrument" before in X1 or X2  and it is not in the Insert Synth Options dialogue. I'm assuming this is just a name change. Am I correct in this assumption?

I would think so. Unless the tutorial has something else up its sleeve. 

I have never seen the advantage of an instrument track. I don't use them. But I tend to use multi out synths anyway. 

Yeah, I really have to learn more about those options because I am a total n00b in regards to synths. These manual discrepancies are turning into a real problem. I'm having to cross reference with X1 Power now. :-/

Yes, they are the same thing. It was probably just a misprint.

Right on. Pretty bad misprint though considering it's in the tuts. lol

Thanks again, Scott.

If you submit this as a 'Feature Request' they have folks who will update the documentation to correct that.  Good catch.

I'm assuming it's been fixed in the revised documentation. I'm starting to think these tuts have a lot of pre X1 stuff in them. I actually seem to recall this tripping me up when I went through the X1 tuts as well.

I gave up trying to document all the misprints and errors as I was reading through the manual. I even got the feeling that some of it had been cut and pasted from the X1 manual without giving much thought to what had changed across the versions. 

Found another one in the same section. The tut points you to MIDI Library which seems to have changed to MIDI Groove Clips... but then it goes on and uses the term MIDI Groove Clips.

2. In the Browser, click the Content Location drop-down list and select MIDI Library.
3. Double click the Smart Loops folder and select the file named Bangin 10.mid.
Before we can preview a MIDI groove clip, we need to tell SONAR what instrument or synth we
would like to preview it with.

@sharke... Yeah, I'm just gonna have to keep my wits about me I guess. Good thing I've got X1 Power to hopefully get things sorted out when need be.
