[ddots-l] Re: MIDI HELP

Message  Yes, I would like more info about MIDI in general myself.
  Does anyone have suggestions where one might read up on MIDI so we can 
educate ourselves further.  For example, I'm not sure how the channels work, 
what can be piped where and I am utterly confused when messing about in the 
instrument assignments in track properties.
  Thanks,
  Che

  I have a question about that as well.  Do you have to assign each instrument 
its own channel as well?  By the way I found out that one of the jacks on my 
keyboard is malfunctioning, so I am having to borrow my friend's keyboard until 
I can get mine fixed.

    You need to establish one track for each indiidual instrument.  You change 
instruments by up and down arrowing in Sonar to the track/instrument you want 
to record at any given time.

      hello, I'm new to midi so please be pashont with me.  I've recorded my 
first track and I want to add more to the song but when I change instruments the
      first track chages to the new instrument sound.  I am chaging instrument 
sounds on the keyboard itself.  Am I not supposed to change sounds this way? 
      Do I have to change something in sonar before chaing instruments?  Can 
someone please help me I'm at a loss!
      Thanks
      Chad
