Disklavier

Frank,

I am assuming that you have  downloaded and installed the appropriate 
CBX driver for your operating system and that you have connected the 
serial port of your computer with the TO HOST port of your disklavier's 
controller with the proper cable, and set the slider switch to the 
proper setting for a PC (as opposed to a Mac or to the midi setting). 
 See your disklavier's user manual if any of these steps are confusing 
to you. If you have done these things, and you are using Sonar, then 
open up Sonar, select Options, select Midi Devices, and make sure that 
the CBX driver is moved to the top of your available list of midi 
devices and that it is selected, i.e. highlighted in blue.  Failure to 
do this step will make the CBX driver unavailable to Sonar even though 
the driver has been properly installed on your computer.  Your 
disklavier should now be accessible and you should be able to play back 
midi files from Sonar using your disklavier as the midi device.
