I'm attempting to record the backing for a song in real time using my sdi styles and sonar. Some of the time this works great, i can set sonar for midi sync and use the keyboard as a master to drive sonar. The problem i am having is sometimes when i play the song back from sonar via gm midi in on the keyboard the instruments play back incorrectly. EG piano as bass drums as trumpet etc, etc. Do i need to send a sysx message from sonar to the keyboard to set up the instruments? If so could anyone explain in simple terms how to do this, i notice commercial midi files have a sysx message at the begging of the file.
My SD1 seems to be running an old operating system on power up "version 1a" is displayed, is there any benefit in installing a newer operating sysem, if so will i loose all my sd1 stored midi files.
Thanks, confused
