Does Sonar support the Kurzweil K2vx? I tried cakewalk 7.0 in the past but it would not recognize the keyboard. I was wondering if the support had been added. I'd like to buy Sonar, but not if I can't use my keyboard with it. THANKS!
Hi Scott, Your question is unclear. No DAW (Except Logic on Sound Diver-enabled synths) can "recognise" a piece of outboard gear. All it can do is interface with it via MIDI. If you mean, "Will it connect via MIDI?" then yes it should. If your CWPA 7 could not "see" your Kurzweil as a MIDI device, then you most likely had some hardware/connectivity issues. If you mean, "Will SONAR recognise all the banks and patches and sysex data and list them by name in the Track View... it won't. No DAW will, either. You can look at cakewalk.com downloads and see if they have an Instrument Definition for it (which you load into Cakewalk) or check out the bad-ass resources for Cakewalk/SONAR users here: http://www.dspacer.com/KurzCake.htm If you can put up with the NASTY MIDI music at the site, that is...

Yes, I meant MIDI up with it. In fact, I've found info on the web stating that CWPA 7 won't even MIDI up with it. My Juno 106 would work fine. I could sequence it and record tracks on CWPA with it. But when I connect the Kurzeil, nothing. Thanks for the insight! Scott "EnJneer" <> wrote in message news:Ue7ab.486594$... > Hi Scott, > > Your question is unclear.

Dude, that is fried. The problem MUST be with the Kurzweil somehow... why wouldn't it NOT interface? It's either MIDI-compliant or it's not... you would thing, anyway... Can you point me to that info on the web? I'm v. curious about this now.

Maybe I read something wrong. But I thought I'd read it. IT definitely sounds like a pain to get to work though. I guess the drums have to be remapped and a bank of sounds has to be created for Cakewalk to use. I found this and it sounds pretty helpful. a.. John W. Mason has updated his SYX2INS.EXE which will find all your K2000 (and now, maybe K2500) program banks and convert them to multiple Cakewalk instrument format files. Read the details and you can download the program from Sweetwater's regular (not K2000) Incoming FTP site. Look for Syx2ins2.zip (53 KB) and see my Downloading & Un-compressing page for help, if needed. Read Kenni Fink's explanation of How to convert Kurzweil banks to Cakewalk .ins files. a.. To enable Cakewalk to "poll" your Kurzweil K2000, use a text editing program (like Notepad) to add the following string to your "cakewalk.ini" file--located where Cakewalk has been installed. ;; Kurzweil K2000 Courtesy of John Mason - BitStream (Compressed) Format Kurzweil K2000 RAM Programs: 000s Bank=F0 07 00 78 0B 00 00 00 01 00 F7 Kurzweil K2000 RAM Programs: 100s Bank=F0 07 00 78 0B 00 00 01 01 00 F7 Kurzweil K2000 RAM Programs: 200s Bank=F0 07 00 78 0B 00 00 02 01 00 F7 Kurzweil K2000 RAM Programs: 300s Bank=F0 07 00 78 0B 00 00 03 01 00 F7 Kurzweil K2000 RAM Programs: 400s Bank=F0 07 00 78 0B 00 00 04 01 00 F7 Kurzweil K2000 RAM Programs: 500s Bank=F0 07 00 78 0B 00 00 05 01 00 F7 Kurzweil K2000 RAM Programs: 600s Bank=F0 07 00 78 0B 00 00 06 01 00 F7 Kurzweil K2000 RAM Programs: 700s Bank=F0 07 00 78 0B 00 00 07 01 00 F7 Kurzweil K2000 RAM Programs: 800s Bank=F0 07 00 78 0B 00 00 08 01 00 F7 Kurzweil K2000 RAM Programs: 900s Bank=F0 07 00 78 0B 00 00 09 01 00 F7 "EnJneer" <> wrote in message news5kab.59631$... > Dude, that is fried.
