Yes, I'm glad you brought this up. Actually, I would prefer to simply use Sonar 7 and my Korg PA800 as I would not be having this conversation at all. Maybe I need to look at Cubase just for this specific thing.
Let me explain. I am no beginner to midi. I've been using it since it's inception but, I cannot for the life of me, get the Korg PA800 style playback and Sonar 7 record transport to sync properly. It is simply a cludge. I will gladly surrender that I'm an idiot but I tried 6 ways to Sunday to get midi clock to sync the two. That is the only reason why I am so interested in using the onboard sequencer. Maybe your onto something. I'll check the midi version of Cubase and see if I( have better success. thanks!
