Hi Omar. I've attached a small (2KB) file that should be of assistance to those of you that are using an XV5080 with Sonar. Not sure if the list takes attachments, so if you don't get this file, then e-mail me off-list and I'll send it to you. Its so small, though, I thought that I'd just throw it out on the list for anyone that wants it. This is a System Exclusive dump that I made which will cause the XV5080 in Performance mode to operate a little like the Motif ES in Song mode. Once you send this to the XV, then the first three channels will automatically call up the appropriate effects for whatever voice that you assign to them. SO, for example, if you select a distorted guitar on channel 1 the distortion will work, if you select a rhodes on channel 2 the autopanner will work, etc. Works for the first three channels only, since the XV only has three multi fx units. All other channels are dry. You can still use reverb/chorus CCs on them, though. _____ TO use this, go into SysEx view in Sonar. Press o for open, and navigate to the sysEx file. Pick it. WHen back in the SysEx view, press p and set the port where your XV is connected. Now, press s to send the bank. If you want the bank to automatically send each time the project is loaded, you can turn that on by pressing a. You could also put this in your default template, so that the XV is always initialized before you start sequencing. Hope that this helps.

I'm using the module from a performance designed specificly for sequencing, which means that all the parts are dry and have no effects or e q's. However, I'm getting some kind of e q or effect on midi tracks 1-8 and track 10 when I have a project open. I took the module in for repair, and the tech can't find anything wrong with it, so I'm guessing that the issue now lies with Sonar here on my system. This problem just started recently and suddenly, and at first, Gord and I both thought that the issue was with the module. That doesn't appear to be the case, however. Does anyone happen to have a contact number for Sonar? I went to their site and could find no phone numbers. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Omar Binno
