Control mapping on a Roland A-Pro500

[johnpeeee]

Hi,

Forgive me for a first world problem

I have the above controller keyboard and it’s set up how I want it to control Sonar the way I want BUT no matter what I do I cannot get Sonar to remember to load that control map at start up. It always resets the keyboard to control map 0.

I know it’s not the end of the world but it does drive me a little nuts.

Any ideas?

Thanks

John

Quick question, are you using the A-PRO Editor for setting up the 500? It is more convenient to use that for mapping than inside a DAW (for most functions), and the default map (the keyboard will use) is either toggled in the keyboard itself or with the A-PRO Editor. Another aspect with them is they have two MIDI outputs, the first is generic MIDI controller stuff (keys, pitch, bend), while the other sends all of the control functions (knobs, sliders, buttons) from the keyboard to the DAW. Do you have both of the MIDI inputs enabled in Sonar preferences?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

yes it’s all set up with the 2 different MIDI outputs etc.

when I power up the pc the A-Pro defaults to control map 19 which is the SONAR map which I have slightly tweaked with the editor software. As soon as I launch SONAR it changes the control map to 0. Ok it’s only a matter of turning a knob to get back to control map 19 but it’s an itch I can’t scratch.
