Configuring Korg's microKorg vst for Vocoder mode - anyone have success in Sonar?

[Patrick Stirrat]

I've been using Cakewalk since 1991 (not a typo!) from the days it was a DOS sequencer.  So I'm pretty familiar with it.   I recently bought the Korg microKorg VST, and would like to configure it as a vocoder.  For some reason I am unable to find the magic path that lets me either route audio from one track into its input as a soft synth, or route a midi track to it as an FX.   I've used other similar products (such as Ovox), so I generally get the routing concepts.  However, I can't seem to figure this one out.  Has anyone had success?

I can get vocoder mode to work when I run the standalone version (outside of Sonar).  

Korg has configuration info on their website for a bunch of different DAWs, just not Cakewalk/Sonar.  

thanks

That plugin doesn't properly follow the VST3 spec for exposing plugin sidechains. 
We'll look into whether we can do a workaround for such plugins.

Thank you for your response.  This bums me out.   but I sincerely appreciate you looking into this
