Sonar has a track type called instrument track, which makes it very simple to work with soft synths. An instrument track is essentially two tracks—a MIDI track and an audio track, both associated with the same soft synth—contained in a single track strip. An instrument track allows you to control the MIDI data that is sent to a soft synth and the audio signal that is returned from the soft synth.
1. Do one of the following to insert a new soft synth:
In the Synth Rack, click the Insert Soft Synth and ReWire devices button and select the desired soft synth from the pop-up menu.The Insert Soft Synth Options dialog box appears.
2. Select the Instrument Track check box, then click OK to close the Insert Soft Synth Options dialog box.Figure 395. Instrument track strip.
