Bjorn,
>I'm coming to terms with the mono/bitimbral nature of our beloved blue lightning, but can I at least change patches during a song (on the same channel) in Sonar? (I'm not too enlightened, but isn't there something called "Program change" or "Patch change" CC commands? Does anybody have the time to explain a little...)
Patches can be changed at any time, even during a song. The method usually doesn't require a MIDI CC command, though; it uses a MIDI Program Change message. In Cakewalk, it's called a "Patch Change" message, or "Patch" for short, and can be inserted just like a note. I don't use Sonar, so I'm not sure what it's called there.
The only thing to watch out for: The AN1x, like many keyboards, cancels all held notes when changing patches. If you wanted to use the Program Change to alter the timbre when playing, you'll have to re-trigger the note(s).
Regards,
-BW
