Greetings all,

I had the VS-100 up and running great! The control surface worked wonderfully and everything was perfect in Sonar X2. Then, while I was shuffling some gear around in my racks, I accidentally unplugged the VS-100 while Sonar was still running. When I rebooted the computer and attempted to go back into Sonar, the control surface no longer functions. Instead, it send MIDI data to whatever synth or soft synth I have currently selected in Sonar.

How can I get my control surface back? I tried removing and then adding the VS-100 in the control surfaces under preferences, however that did not resolve the issue.

Thank You all very much for your help.

Sonar X2 (Build 306) x64
Win7 64bit
VS-100 firmware 1.50

Never mind, I figured it out with a little digging. Not terribly intuitive, but now that I know, I know. Thanks again!

When you setup the VS-100 as a control surface, did you assign the "output" back to the VS? It sounds to me like the VS can feed to Sonar, but not receive from it. 

1: Press P to open the preferences 
2: Go to MIDI > Devices
3: Make sure "CONTROL VS-100" is checked for both INPUT and OUTPUT
4: Now go to MIDI > Control Surfaces
5: For the VS-100, your IN should be set to "CONTROL VS-100" and your out must be set to "CONTROL VS-100".
