Setting Up Studio Package Pro

Step 6: SONAR Setting

Starting SONAR

1.There are many different way to start SONAR. Here are a few:

Click on the SONAR icon on your desktop.

Click on the Start button, and choose Programs-Cakewalk-SONAR2-SONAR 2.

Click the Start button, point to Documents, and choose a SONAR project from the menu.

Double-click the SONAR program or any SONAR document from the Windows Explorer or the Find menu.

2.The Wave Profiler utility will appear. Click Yes to start checking your RPC-1.

Setting Up the MIDI In and MIDI Out Devices

The No MIDI Outputs Selected dialog box will appear. To setting up the MIDI IN and OUT devices, click Choose MIDI Outputs Now.

If it doesn’t, select Options-MIDI Devices command.

1.You will see the “MIDI Devices” dialog box, which lets you choose instruments on MIDI inputs and outputs.

2.Look at the left window. Notice that it shows devices on MIDI Inputs. Make sure that the “Roland RPC-1 MIDI” (Windows XP/2000) or “MIDI In Roland RPC-1” (Windows Me/98) is highlighted. If the device isn’t highlighted, click on it once to select it for MIDI Input.

3.If you use other MIDI Inputs, you can select some MIDI input devices.

4.Look at the window on the right. Notice that it shows devices on MIDI Outputs. Make sure that the “Roland RPC-1 MIDI” (Windows XP/2000) or “MIDI Out Roland RPC-1” (Windows Me/98) is highlighted. If the device isn’t highlighted, click on it once to select it for MIDI Output.

5.If you use other MIDI Output, you can select some MIDI input devices. Highlight one device at a time in the Outputs window and click “Move Selected Devices to Top” to change its order. Make sure that the “Roland RPC-1 MIDI” is lowest order.

The Microsoft MIDI Mapper is used by some Windows multimedia programs to access the MIDI functions. Don’t select it as a MIDI output. This will prevent potential MIDI looping problems which can confuse the MIDI interface and cause it to crash.

6.Click OK to close dialog box.
