Appendix B:
Hardware Setup
This appendix contains additional details on configuring your equipment for use
with SONAR.
Connect Your MIDI Equipment
If you are using a MIDI interface (such as an MPU-401 or Sound Blaster MIDI
option) with an external MIDI keyboard, you need to connect the equipment using
MIDI cables.
It is possible to connect your equipment in some rather complex ways that may
cause problems. If you call for technical support with a problem concerning
equipment that doesn’t seem to be responding, we’ll probably suggest that you
reconnect things in one of the ways listed below before we explore the problem
further. Also be sure to check Appendix A: Troubleshooting, before calling us.
There are two methods that fit many circumstances. The one you choose depends
on whether your keyboard has:
• All three types of MIDI jacks: In, Out, and Thru
• Only two types of MIDI jacks: In and Out
If you have only one keyboard, read the “If Your Keyboard Doesn’t Have a MIDI
Thru Jack” section (regardless of whether you have MIDI Thru or not).
