box.
2. In the Track column, select a MIDI track or tracks that you want to choose
inputs for.
3. Click the MIDI Inputs button that’s at the bottom of the dialog to open the
MIDI inputs dropdown menu.
4. Choose track inputs from these choices:
• None—this option actually sets the Input field to Omni: with this setting
the track will record any MIDI input coming in on any enabled port (MIDI
interface input driver) on any channel.
• All Inputs-(MIDI Omni or MIDI ch 1-16)—with this setting the track
will record any MIDI input coming in on any enabled port (MIDI interface
input driver) on any channel, unless you choose a particular MIDI
channel instead of MIDI Omni. Then the track will only record input
that’s on the MIDI channel you chose.
•(name of MIDI input driver)-(MIDI Omni or MIDI ch 1-16)—
choosing this option causes the track to record any MIDI channel coming
from the named MIDI interface input driver, unless you choose a
particular MIDI channel instead of MIDI Omni. Then the track will only
record input that’s on the MIDI channel you chose, from the named input
driver.
• Preset—if you’ve created any preset collections of input ports and
channels, you can select one here.
• Manage Presets—if you want to create or edit any preset collections of
input ports and channels, you can select this option (see following
procedure).
5. Click OK.
SONAR shows new track inputs in the Input fields in the Track pane.
Note:
You can use external MIDI synchronization to automate the process
of loading multichannel sequences from other MIDI devices. For more
