Contrary to their workstations, roland didn't create any sort of
template in this arranger that's preset to work with sequencers. I've
tried going to different styles, but the issue persists on the same
channels through all the styles, it seems.

sonar, and both are working fine. I'm using the midiman 8x8 interface,
and the other units have worked fine through it. So I'm certain it's
something from the arranger. Yamaha's is definitely much simpler. I'm
almost ready to give up with this board, sell it, and go back to using
a motif and just creating loops that I can play from a laptop. Ugghhh.

Omar, not sure if roland's arrangers work like Yamaha's, but for Yamaha
arranger keyboards, the machine is always in multitimberal mode. However
if
you select a style, it automatically readjusts channels 9 through 16 (the
channels that the styles use) and so the best way to go about it on these
keyboards is just to run them without any styles loaded, since styles do
their own internal routing. This is one of the main difference between an
arranger and workstation like the motif for example, where the motif you
have to be in song or pattern mode in order to use more than 1
channel/track, for the arrangers I've had, I literally just turn them on
and
send the data from sonar (assuming i/o is correct) and sonar will send
the
patch and bank info for each channel and the keyboard plays everything
back
fine, without switching to any particular style or song etc. Now Roland
might be a little different, but it's something you might want to
investigate.
Try this, turn off the keyboard. If you can, do a global reset on it.
Turn
it on, when it comes up in its normal state (usually the home screen with
a
piano voice loaded), then open a new sonar project, insert a midi track,
set
the output of the track to the Roland, record some notes into the track
(using the keyboard or the event list or setp sequencer), then select
channel 1 for the track, and see if it plays. If it does, select channel
2
and play again, try this for those particular channels that weren't
working
before, see what happens.
Make sure that you haven't altered any sonar settings or keyboard
settings
such as clock transmit, MTC settings or anything like that, which you
usually have to do in order to be able to record any midi from the
keyboard
itself. If you changed anything in SONAR, set them back to the defaults.
Also if you can, do a global reset on the keyboard just to make sure you
are
starting from scratch.
Also, what type of connection are you using, USB? MIDI? If MIDI, what
interface are you connecting it with? And have you checked your cables?
HTH, DJX

Mike, can you think of any reasons why channels 6, 11, 12, 14, and 16
aren't
working between sonar and my arranger? I spoke with Roland, and one
suggestion they had was that the parts were muted or turned off in
whatever
style I'm on when opening sonar. That has proven untrue, however. The
same
issue happens no matter what style I use when opening sonar. So I'm
assuming
it's a global fix of some sort.
