Hi bill,
Sonar would definitely be great for laying down the midi data. The only thing
is that from what I'm finding out, as of this moment we still have to record
each voice one at a time on separate tracks. Obviously we'll be able to hear
the other tracks play back while we're recording, which is fine. What I was
hoping to be able to do was to split notes into individual voices after
recording, especially when you're doing piano or organ pieces, so you could
then import them into their respected voices in Lime. I tried running a Cal
script in Sonar that I thought would do the trick, but it didn't work the way I
was expecting it to. There may be programs out there that'll do it, but I
haven't heard of any mentioned on this list or the ddots-L list.
Thanks for the reply though. I'll just keep plugging until I come across
something that works - or until the Lime developers make changes in the
sequencer. Take care.
Mike

Hi, Mike,
Sorry I could not reply sooner. I am traveling a lot these days. On my way
to CSUN now.
Yes, you are correct. Lime has a sequencer but it currently only records one
part at a time. If you compose on the fly, as I myself often do, SONAR is a
better environment for that kind of writing.
You can export from SONAR to a MIDI file and then import that MIDI file into
Lime. However, Lime's MIDI import is not simple enough. I have asked Lime's
developer to improve but so far, no change.
Meanwhile, it would be really helpful if the people from cakewalk would allow
OSNRA to export to MusicXML. Lime's MusicXML import feature is far simpler and
better than its MIDI import.
Regards,
Bill
