Local control
Local control
You should normally disable the Local Control setting on your master keyboard to prevent notes
from being doubled when you play your keyboard. If you disable Local Control, your keyboard sends
notes that you play to SONAR, which echoes them to the synthesizer, which plays them only once.
When SONAR starts, you can have it send a special MIDI message that attempts to disable Local
Control automatically. Most modern synthesizers respond to this message. If yours does not, you will
need to disable Local Control every time you turn it on for use with SONAR.
To automatically disable all local control whenever you launch SONAR
1. In the directory where SONAR is installed, double-click on the
TTSseq.ini
file to open it.
2. In the
[Options]
section, add the line:
SendLocalOff=1
3. Save the file and close it.
4. When you launch SONAR, it automatically sends a Local Off message to your keyboard.
See:
“Playing files in sequence with the Play List” on page 245
Note: Not all keyboards respond to Local Off messages.
