Matrix users: Can you get a cell to output a midi groove clip to an external instrument?

I can't get a cell to play back its midi groove clip to an external midi device assigned to the row. Can you? If so what do you do? (I can get a cell to playback to a vst instrument and to be recorded into the track for playback by an external midi device.)

    Hi Martin-

    No, it's not yet possible to route to an external instrument (hardware synth) directly from the Matrix View nor the Media Browser.

    Please make sure your voice is heard requesting this, though! Here's the official FR form:

    Thanks-

    What do you think this is,  Ableton Live?

    Thanks for the reply Susan and kb420. NOW I CAN STOP WASTING MY TME trying to get it to work. I do think this rather glaring omission, which renders the Matrix View more or less useless if you use external instruments, should have been mentioned CLEARLY in the help notes (not to mention the advertising) - I didn't see it, is it there? 
     
    I have to say I'm very disappointed and feel quite misled by Cakewalk. I hope this is remedied in the next update.

    I'd be glad if it worked properly

    My dials go backwards - seriously.

    Edit: I should clarify - this is actually true

    i would love to have 'play order' like cubase....
    and that is not a dis on sonar....
    but, i thought that's what the matrix view was going to be.
    or maybe i just don't know what i'm doing, yet.

    And while we're at it, it would be nice if the Matrix
    could be triggered by a recorded midi track.
