Note: Most MIDI recording applications allow incoming MIDI signals to be recorded and simultaneously passed through to externally connected MIDI devices. If your software is configured to do this and you are working with the built-in voices of ProKeys Sono, sounds will be triggered in real-time through the recording software. However, by default ProKeys Sono also triggers its built-in sounds directly when playing the keys on the keyboard. This means that you may hear every note twice: Once since the sounds are triggered locally from the ProKeys Sono keyboard and a second time because of MIDI signals returning to ProKeys Sono from the recording application.

To prevent notes from being triggered twice, configure ProKeys Sono to operate in Local Off mode. See page 37 for more information on how to do this.

In this scenario, ProKeys Sono is used to record to a MIDI track within the computer’s sequencing software.. The MIDI data is recorded, simultaneously passed through the software, and routed back to the “ProKeys Sono Voices”6 MIDI output port (this port connects to the sound engine of ProKeys Sono).. Audio is then generated by the built-in sound engine of ProKeys Sono and sent to powered monitors through the main outputs..

➜IMPORTANT: Built-in ProKeys Sono sounds can also be recorded as audio to an audio track within your recording software. By default, sounds generated by the built-in sound engine of ProKeys Sono are merged into audio input channels one and two, mixing them with input signals from the Microphone, Instrument, and Aux inputs. The mixed signal can be recorded by your recording software. If you do not wish to send the audio signal created by playing the built-in ProKeys Sono sounds to your software audio inputs, this can be accomplished by toggling the USB Record switch in Edit mode. Additional information on this can be found in the “USB Record Key” portion of the “Advanced ProKeys Sono Functions in Edit Mode” chapter of this User Guide.

6The order and naming of the MIDI ports may vary slightly depending on your operating system and sequencing application. If ProKeys Sono is used as a class-compliant device under Windows XP, its output ports will appear as “USB Audio Device” and “USB Audio Device [2].”
