In the operation manual for EZ Keys…..
“3.7 Using other Sound Generators
EZkeys include a MIDI Out function whereby it is possible to route the MIDI signal to your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in order to trigger the sounds from another virtual instrument, a sample based piano for example (or any type of sound generator fo that matter).
Using this function you can use EZkeys’ powerful writing tools and try diffefent sound palettes on your arrangement, on-the-fly, without the need to drag the MIDI blocks to your host after each tweak.”
and then in the Midi Out Overview section……….
“D- Setting up Cakewalk Sonar
EZkeys MIDI Out function requires Sonar version 8 or later.
Before you start, you should make sure that you are familiar with how to operate Virtual Instruments in your host and that you have a copy of YFSG configured for Audio and MIDI playback.
1) Inserting the plug-in:
• Open the Synth Rack and insert EZkeys as a VST
• Make sure you select the ‘First Synth Output’ option
• Still in the Property box enable MIDI Output
2) Setting up:
• Insert YFSG, complete with Audio Outputs and Source MIDI track
• Set the Input of the MIDI track assigned to YFSG to EZkeys
• Ensure that Input Echo Monitoring is enabled as appropriate
• In EZkeys, press Play”
Ive followed the instructions to the letter and cant get it to work, the plan fails at “Set the Input of the MIDI track assigned to YFSG to EZkeys” as in Sonar X2 the EZ Keys option isnt there.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue?
Thanks for ay replies.
Regards
Lee
