Hi,
Can someone please give a step-by-step guide on how to make a 3rd party argeggiator work in Sonar? (Blue Arp, Kirnu, Cthulhu etc). I can't figure the midi routing out.
Thanks in advance

Hey those look pretty cool! Which one do you like the most?

I also briefly played with Blue Arp over the Easter Weekend and found it to be very useful/easy to work with (really good for free). However, I did have some problems routing Catanya_2 even after configuring it as a synth/Enabling Midi Output. I was impressed with the video demo of what Catanya 2 can do and bought it, but now have to go back to troubleshooting the routing issue. This thread will hopefully be useful tonight......

Hi Mesh, i am using that method above for Catanya 1. i did not get the current version, Catanya 2.

the only problem i have with Catanya is that it cannot be used in X3e x64. i have had it since X1. I have tried even with jBridge but it still doesnt work.

The work-around i am doing is to use it inside the x32 version of Sonar. After the MIDI notes are generated, i port them back to the x64 version where all my main instruments are. 
 
hope this help... Cheers!!!

Hi Keys,
Thanks for the tip, but Catanya 2 (C2) is 64 bit and it should work well in X3e (without jumping through additional loops)......at least that's what other C2/X3 users have said. Mine is more of a routing issue (probably something small which I'm overlooking) in which a fellow C2/X3 user (Cryophonik) has kindly offered to help me sort this out.  
 
Check out the newer 64 bit version (some 1200 presets) and the upgrade price doesn't seem too bad.

+1 Mesh... let me know how it works out ya... if all is good i might jump on...
 
thanks again... cheers!!!
 

For anyone who needs help with MIDI routing for a VST arpeggiator, The Catanya website has a great explanation with pics on how to do it. 
Thanks to everyone who helped me to demystify this process.
 

I can't figure out how to get any of them to play "live" in Sonar.  The synth track has to be highlighted for them to produce any sound, so the arpeggiator track (BlueARP, Kirnu Cream, etc.) cannot be highlighted and cannot accept MIDI input from my keyboard.  I have no problems making BlueARP work live in FL Producer, but the way the routing works is different than Sonar.  Is it possible in Sonar?

Guess I don't have enough posts yet to link to other posts on this forum. Seems kinda dumb.
 
Anyway, it should be possible. I found this info by TheMaartian for setting up Cthulhu to be helpful.

Ah, I didn't have MIDI echo on in the BlueARP track.  Thanks!
