Hi,
The default class-compliant drivers are designed only for a single host -
this means that only one application can make use of the device at a time.
This sounds fine in principle, but it can cause issues if you try to use the
keyboard for entering notes into Sonar and the real-time controls for
controlling, say, a stand-alone instance of Guitar Rig at the same time. In
theory you shouldn't get problems controlling plug-ins within Sonar, as
Sonar is acting as the single client, passing information along to the
plug-ins, but it doesn't always seem to be as robust as it should be.
Looking at things pragmatically, I had issues with my keyboard with the
single-host drivers and have had none since installing the multi-client
drivers - suck and see, I think.
Best wishes.

Tim,
can you explain what you mean by single and multi hosting?
