BCF2000 Sonar 6 fine / Sonar 7 "Connecting..."
2008-03-26 by i_am_zontar
Hi folks... I've had my BFC2000 for over a year now, and have been pretty happy with it. Until I updated to Sonar 7 that is. In sonar 6.2.1 [and previous versions] it works just fine in Mackie emulation mode [hold the 4th button when turning on the BCF]. I have used it on dozens of projects with very little trouble. I am also running Sonar v7.0.2. I can open a project in v6 and all is well. I open the same project file in Sonar 7 and the controller toolbar item just reads 'Connecting...' and it never connects. I have tried removing the MIDI ports from my list of MIDI devices and re-adding them. Nothing. I am running the latest USB/MIDI driver [I'm the one that posted it here in the files months ago...] I run BCFView and in v6 it shows the tracks names that are 'attached' to the BCF2000. In v7 it's just a blank blue bar. This is probably better addresses in the Cakwalk forums, but the signal to noise ratio there is unreal, and finding specific answers like this takes hours of digging [it would help if their forum search actually worked - it doesn't]. So has anyone out there has this problem and found a solution? I can continue to move projects between the different versions, but it IS a hassle, and one I should not really have to go through IMHO. Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice. Zontar
