Hey guys, thanks...
Last night I was able to stumble around and get it to work. John's tip helped me figure it out. I got the TruePianos to work by ensuring I had the proper in/out. Next I wanted to play with z3ta. I know it's not the only way, but I was able to get that to work by ensuing it was using "Simple Instrument Track".
I have the Sonar X3 Explained by Groove 3 video series. I'm going to go back and watch. I've forgotten just about everything I had learned in the past.
I sure love the new GUI improvements over X3. I had no idea that it was free now. What happen? Gibson just couldn't make any money with it anymore? It's an amazing piece of software, I can't believe it's free.
