Hi All,
I've been looking for a way to turn "local off" off at startup.  It just doesn't work for me to have all my keyboards shutdown like that. In fact it's a right pain.
 
so far I have found this:
 
TTSSEQ.INI
[Options] section
SendLocalOff=nnon-zero to set synths to Local Off at startup, dflt=1
SendLocalOn=nnon-zero to set synths to Local On at exit, dflt=0
 
 
Looks promising, only problem is I don't have that file.  I guess I could write one but I don't know where it should go and what format it should be.  There is also a reference to an "Options" section but I can't find that either.
 
Any help would be much appreciated.  At the moment I have to keep switching synths off and on to get round the problem, which only work for midi attached.

That looks like a sysx message. (System Exclusive)

There is a sysx editor in Sonar. It will allow you to write the file, embed the commands in a midi file which sends the sysx part at the beginning of the midi track. That's a very basic lay and explanation of something I've not done in years.
I think the editor is either in the Edit or Views menu of Sonar.

Check this link all about sysx. https://www.cakewalk.com/...ge=3&help=SYSX.04.html

Thanks, but no it's a setting that sits in the file TTSSEQ.INI it's just I don't have one for some reason.  Basically all I want to do is stop Sonar sending the local keyboard off message when it starts.
 
here's the info I found:

Although I'm not sure it relates to X3 on second look.  Still, there must be a way to turn it off, it's such a pain.

found this too:
https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR%20X3&language=3&help=Playback.36.html
I'm going to try to create the file and see if that does it.

OK, problem solved.  Cakewalk have kindly provided all the information you need except where the files are.

so glad that is finally fixed :-)
