I am wanting to have a Combi on track 1, and regular programs on the rest of the tracks in Sonar, but i'm having a bit of trouble
I'm in combi mode and have midi set to Korg in Global. I also have the instrument def's for the TR installed into Sonar. I'm using the midi-usb out.
I've recorded Combi B009 Studio Orchestra into track 1.
That works fine (i have channel 1 selected in track properties).
For track 2, I want Program D107 Classic French Horns.
Here's where the trouble starts. D107 will not stay during playback (it's using some other sound.) I have selected Channel 2 in track properties.
For track 3, i try selecting channel 3, but nothing happens...all is silent.
What am i doing wrong and/or how do I record/playback a combi plus other programs in Sonar?
TR and Sonar - Combi+programs?

This is what you aren't getting - A combination uses 8 programs, so in Sequencer mode, it will HAVE to take up a channel for each program that the combinations uses. So if Combi B009 uses 8 programs, it will have to take up 8 of your tracks in Seq mode.
To accomplish this, you start in Sequencer mode, and you should have a menu option to "Copy from Combi," and you can enter B009 and copy it to the TR's SEQ mode. Don't assign ANY patch assignments in sonar for channels 1-8... they will now be preset to those programs.
You can record channel 1 in Sonar (in SEQ mode), and it should control channels 1-8 on the TR.
Unfortunately, you'll only have 8 channels left for programs (tracks 9-16) so you can assign channel 9 to D107, channel 10 to whatever other program you want, just leave channels 2-8 untouched in Sonar (these are all used by that combination Studio Orchestra).

No sound with MIDI in SEQ
Gargamel314,
When I follow your directions (in SEQ mode, I copied the combi to it).
But the keyboard is silent. No notes can be heard.
In Sonar - Track properties, I have Input TR -Omni
Output - TR
No channels, banks, or patches are selected in sonar.
As I hit keys, there is no sound.
Might you know what i'm doing wrong?
(if i go back to combi mode, then the sound returns and i can record the midi....it's just that nothing is happening when i switch back to SEQ mode)

I'm relatively new to all this too (Sonar, that is), so I might be missing something as well. Previous to my Triton, I owned an X5 and it was very difficult to record Combi's with MIDI. You can record Combi's on the on-board sequencer, which is what Gargamel is talking about, but if I uderstand, you want to do it in Sonar.
Here is what I do. I record the Combi's as digital audio through my soundcard and then record the regular programs as MIDI. I have done it this way since the days of my X5, so I may have missed a technique that can now be used to record a Combi as MIDI in a computer based DAW, but I doubt it.
