MIDI Echo in Sonar 3
OK, I've come across a really annoying and kind of destructive "feature" in Sonar 3 dealing with the MIDI echo. First of all, let me say that I'm not a fan of MIDI echo at all. I ALWAYS just turn it off. In Sonar 3, this parameter is no longer project-wide but it's now a button on each individual MIDI track. The default is off, and that's cool. But, when you select a track, your only choices are "auto" or "on", which basically seems to mean your choise is between "on" and "on". Last night, I was working on a track, tweaking a patch on my Nord Lead, only to find out when I skipped to a different section of the track that a different Nord patch was all fucked up. It turns out that I had selected the track of Nord patch #2 while I was tweaking patch #1 - all of the knob movements I made to patch 2 were retransmitted to patch thanks to MIDI echo.
Does anyone else experience this phenomenon and is there a way around it, besides being careful about which track I have selected in the track view!?!
