5. Click OK, if you haven’t already.
SONAR adds the DXi to the audio track input and MIDI track output menus, and
creates any new tracks that you requested. The new tracks already have the
correct inputs and outputs patched. Now you can record MIDI data in the DXi
MIDI tracks, and/or play the DXi from a MIDI keyboard or controller.
To Insert a DXi in an Fx field
1. In either the Track or Console view, right-click the Fx field of an unused audio
track or bus.
Note: If you patch a DXi into a bus that has no audio track assigned to it, the
DXi does not sound. Always use a bus that has at least one audio track
sending data to it.
The plug-in menu appears.
2. Under DXi Synth, choose the name of a DXi.
Two things happen: the DXi’s interface appears, and the DXi’s name appears
in the track’s or bus’s Fx field, with a bypass button next to the name.
3. Set the DXi’s parameters (choose sounds, effects, etc.), and drag its interface
out of the way.
4. Click the Output field of a MIDI track to display the output menu.
5. Select the name of the DXi that you patched into the audio track or bus.
6. If the DXi is multi-timbral, choose a MIDI channel for the MIDI track.
7. Also in the MIDI track, select a bank and patch.
Now you can record some MIDI data into the MIDI track to play the DXi with. See
“To Play a DXi with Recorded MIDI Data” on page 405.
You can also play the DXi in real-time from a MIDI controller. See “To Play a DXi
from a MIDI Controller” on page 406.
Opening a DXi’s Property Page
There are several different methods to open a DXi’s property page (interface):
• When you insert the DXi from the Insert menu or Synth Rack view, check the
Open These Windows: Synth Property Page checkbox in the Insert DXi Synth
Options dialog.
• Double-click the name of the DXi in either a MIDI track’s Output field or an
audio track’s Input field.
• Double-click the row in the Synth Rack view that displays the DXi.
• Double-click the name of the DXi in an Fx bin.
• Click one of the rows in the Synth Rack view to select it, and then click the
Properties button in the Synth Rack toolbar (or press c).
