Hello all

I'm having trouble hooking up my PX-7 via MIDI to Sonar on my PC.  I 
have a beat created on the PX-7 and when I record using MIDI into 
Sonar it shows MIDI data correctly, but when I play back from sonar 
into the PX-7 nothing plays and the red MIDI input light doesn't even 
light up on the PX-7.  Does anyone record their tracks from PX-7 via 
MIDI to a PC?  I've tried every configuration and option I can think 
of.  This is frustrating me.  Thanks

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...

Aziam,
  If you use EMU's e-loader program, you can just upload the files from the PX7 into your computer instead of trying to record them. It transfers SYSEX information and everything. Once you get the file in your computer, open the file in Sonar, and then select the PX7 as the output on each individual midi track. When you select the PX7 as the output, it will automatically select the correct patches. Save the file as a Cakewalk file and not as a regular midi file and you should be good to go. 
   
  I am not very good at explaining things so I apologize,  but I actually use Sonar and I do what you are trying to do all the time.
