I Can't Record From My Midi Instrument - CAKEWALK SONAR User Manual

I Can't Record from My MIDI Instrument

If you are unable to record music from your electronic keyboard, synthesizer, or other MIDI
instrument, first test to see if you are able to play back a project through the keyboard. Then
try the following:
Possible problem...
No MIDI input device is selected.
Your MIDI cables are reversed.
SONAR is not receiving MIDI data.
You have not set up SONAR to record.
If none of these suggestions works, check our web site for additional suggestions or contact
technical support.
What to do...
Choose Options-MIDI Devices, and check the
Input device list. Make sure that the MIDI input
on your computer sound card is highlighted.
Make sure that the MIDI Out plug is connected
to the MIDI In jack on your keyboard and that
the MIDI In plug is connected to the MIDI Out
jack on your keyboard.
Check the MIDI Input/Output Activity monitor
on the Windows Status bar. Check to see if
the left LED is flashing red. If not, then SONAR
is not receiving MIDI data. Check you
connections and try again.
Make sure that 1) you have chosen an input for
the track; 2) you have armed the track for
recording; and 3) you have pressed the Record
button, and not the Play button.
