Are you sure the MIDI Out of the computer is plugged into the MIDI In  
of the PX-7?

If you're not even getting the red blinking light on the MIDI In of  
the PX, it's not the PX's fault, so you need to investigate whether  
the cable from the computer's out to your PX in is connected, and  
then whether the software is set up to send data to that MIDI out port.

I have a Mac running Digital Performer so I can't help much there -  
perhaps someone else has a PC with Sonar and can give you some  
suggestions...
