If you haven’t yet selected a patch on SonicCell to play from this track, open the SonicCell Editor and assign the desired patch to the part you want to use. Once you’ve done that, return to the MIDI track you’ve been setting up.

7When you play your controller with your new track selected, you should hear the desired patch play in SonicCell.

8Record your SonicCell track as you would any other SONAR LE track— when you play it back, you’ll hear its SonicCell patch play. (You can shrink the track vertically by clicking its Minimize Track button once you’re done with it.)

9Repeat Steps 2-8 for other SonicCell tracks you want to sequence.

At this point, your track is sequenced, and you’ll hear it each time you play your project, including when you edit the track. However, the sound is still coming from SonicCell itself—it hasn’t yet been recorded as an audio track in SONAR LE. We’ll get to that in the next section.
