Midi Devices Settings - Roland Sonar V-Studio 100 Getting Started

MIDI Devices Settings

Here's how to specify the MIDI devices that you want to use.
1.
Execute the "Options | MIDI Devices" command to open the "MIDI Devices" dialog box.
In the input field and output field of the "MIDI Devices" dialog box, select the following MIDI devices that you will
use with SONAR.
Input
MIDI (VS-100)
CONTROL (VS-100)
If you're using an external MIDI sound module, you can use "Instrument Definitions" so that SONAR will
show the bank names, patch names, and controller function names of typical MIDI sound modules. For
details on "Instrument Definitions", refer to the online Help.
* If you've connected an external MIDI device, such as an external MIDI keyboard (Edirol PCR series), to your computer
via a USB cable, select such MIDI devices as well. (For details on these MIDI devices, refer to the manuals for the devices
you're using.)
* In SONAR, don't use the following MIDI devices shown in the "MIDI Devices" dialog box. (Clear the check box for these
devices.)
• MIDI Mapper/Microsoft MIDI Mapper
These are virtual MIDI ports used by Windows, and are not used by SONAR.
• Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth
This monopolizes the audio driver, making it impossible to use audio functionality in SONAR.
• Roland VSC (stand-alone version)/ the stand-alone versions of other software synthesizers
These are not suitable for use in SONAR, since their latency cannot be managed from SONAR.
2.
Click [OK] to close the dialog box.
If you're using MIDI controllers or control surfaces in your system, and you've changed the settings of the
"MIDI Devices" dialog box, you may need to re-configure the Controllers/Surfaces plug-in settings. When you
change the contents of the "MIDI Devices" dialog box, the entire state of the Controllers/Surfaces plug-ins will
be initialized.
If you want to use an external MIDI device that's connected to the SONAR V-STUDIO 100 hardware's MIDI
connectors, select the "MIDI (VS-100)" MIDI port in the "MIDI Devices" dialog box.
Output
MIDI (VS-100)
CONTROL (VS-100)
