RE: loop trigger in Sonar (Greetings, and a question about sampling/chopping)
Bob,
Thanks for your question.
No it's not a key binding thing at all. Cyclone is a new soft synth, it's
key mapping basically just assigns sounds to the MIDI notes that the synth
responds to.
RE: The Behringer question, I'll need to forward this to someone in
support.
I know in SONAR 2.0 we have a learn mode that allow you to automate and
control SONAR with any MIDI-compatible hardware controller, so you could
probably achieve what you are looking for with that. Not sure about doing
it in earlier versions of the program.
Let me know if I can answer anything else.
Best regards,
Carl

Carl mentioned:
> ... trigger loops from any midi device
Does the ability to trigger loops that you mention depend on the 'MIDI key
bindings' feature?
If so, doesn't that mean a 'shift' note on value must be sent in
combination
with any MIDI note trigger?
I ask because I was recently looking into using the Behringer FCB1010 to
control Sonar for other reasons (start/stop recording) but ran into a
gotcha
because it appears the MIDI key bindings require the use of a 'shift'
value,
meaning I would need to send 2 note values to trigger an event, but the
1010
only sends one per press.
I was wondering how to work around this, but haven't come up with an
answer.
I thought perhaps sending a note on to put it in shift mode and leaving it
that way for subsequent actions might work but I haven't tried that yet.
thanks for any light you can shed on this.
Bob
