Hi all. Newbie here but with 30 odd years of mild MIDI use.
I have an 80s synthpop tribute band and am using Cakewalk Sonar Producer v8.3.1 as a live DAW, with Setlists of songs loaded in sequence to play-on-press.
Outboard of this my musical partner and I have Roland FA-06 and 07 workstations linked by USB to my laptop (Windows 10 Home), but for real fun I have a Roland AX-Synth and he has an Roland AX-Edge. The Edge has Bluetooth capability and for the older AX-Synth, I have bought a Quinnico Mi.1 BLE MIDI transmitter and receiver. I have also installed the MIDIBerry application.
What I want to do is transmit PC messages to our keytars from dedicated MIDI tracks in Sonar. As we load the tracks, across go the PC signals and we aren't faced with scrolling through soundbanks and patches.
Here's the problem: When I open Sonar, the Mi.1 doesn't appear as a MIDI IN/OUT option. I can't assign MIDI tracks to it. The Mi.1 does appear in the Windows/Settings and works okay with MIDIBerry on it's own.
What is MIDIBerry/Windows 10 seeing that Sonar isn't?
Thanks all
Vic Woods
