If you select a sampling rate other than the one SonicCell is using,
you’ll see a message telling you that’s not possible, and that SONAR’s
sample rate’s been reset to match SonicCell’s.
To use another sampling rate, change SonicCell’s sample rate first as
described in the Using the SonicCell with a DAW Workshop booklet.
If you want to work on a project in which audio’s already been
recorded, first set SonicCell’s sample rate to match the project’s.
Windows asks you to relaunch SONAR for your new settings to take
effect.

Here’s how to get SONAR to exchange MIDI data
with SonicCell:
Setting Up SONAR to Use the SonicCell Editor
In SONAR you’ll find the Cakewalk Plug-In Manager with which you register
the SonicCell Editor as a plug-in for use with SONAR. Here’s how:
1
In SONAR, select MIDI Devices... from the
Options menu to open the MIDI Devices
window.

From SONAR’s Tools menu, select Cakewalk Plug-in Manager.
In the VST Configuration area, click Options.

In the Inputs and in the Outputs panes,
select 1:Roland SonicCell so it’s checkmarked
as shown here:
In the Cakewalk VST Scan Paths window, click Add...
Navigate to your C drive, the Program Files folder—presuming you
used the default install location—highlight the Roland folder, and
click OK.

Back in the Cakewalk VST Scan Paths window, click OK—SONAR scans
the displayed folders and displays all of its found plug-ins in the
Cakewalk Plug-in Manager window. (You’ll see the SonicCell Editor if
you click VST Instruments (VSTi) in the left-hand pane.
Click Close to finish registering the SonicCell Editor.
Setting Up SONAR for SonicCell MIDI
In the following sections, we’ll assume a couple of things about the way
you’re working. We’ll assume
•
you’ve got SonicCell in Performance mode—using SonicCell’s PRST 01
Seq: Template performance to start with.

Click OK.
•
you’ve connected a MIDI controller to SonicCell’s MIDI IN jack—and that
you’ve turned on SonicCell’s USB-MIDI Thru parameter, as described in
the Using SonicCell with a DAW Workshop booklet.
From the Options menu, select Global... to open the Global Options
window.

Make sure that Always Echo Current MIDI Track is checkmarked so
that your SonicCell patch plays as you sequence, and click OK.
SONAR is now set up to exchange MIDI data with SonicCell.
