UsesNotesAsControllers=n
Some MIDI devices, certain mixers for example, use MIDI Note events instead of
Continuous Controller events for automation. It is often desirable to treat the Note
events as Controller events in order for them to obey the “Zero Controllers When
Play Stops” and “Patch/Controller Searchback Before Play Starts” settings.
You can enter this variable in any instrument definition by using a text editor,
such as Windows Notepad. The variable should be entered directly below an
instrument definition. For example:
[Mackie OTTO-1604]
UsesNotesAsControllers=1
Control=Mackie OTTO-1604
Patch[*]=Mackie OTTO-1604
Key[*,*]=Mackie OTTO-1604
NoControllerReset=n
Any port/channel using an instrument definition that has a NoControllerReset
flag set to 1 does not receive a "zero controller" message upon stop. You can enter
this variable in any instrument definition by using a text editor, such as Windows
Notepad. The variable should be entered directly below an instrument definition.
For example:
[Yamaha Promix 01 Control Chan]
NoControllerReset=1
Control=Yamaha Promix 01 Control Chan
Patch[*]=Yamaha Pro Mix 01
This parameter should be used when it is undesirable to zero/reset controllers
when playback stop, such as when using an external effects processor that uses
MIDI controllers for real-time parameter control, or when using a digital mixer as
a MIDI control surface (and not using the generic control surface plug-in).
Instrument Definition Tutorial
The following tutorial takes you through the process of setting up an instrument
definition for a Roland keyboard so that the bank and patch names, including any
self-created sounds, read the same in Sonar as they do on the display screen of
your keyboard instrument.
