Seriously, I use Sonar daily (not the old cakewalk) and have imported into Rosegarden with <pretty much> no problem. I say <pretty much> because I do hear a difference in how the two realize the midi file -- they just sound different. Pitch bends are the easiest to notice. But, I'm not saying one is right over the other. Sonar has some problem playing wheel data -- especially in short midi pieces (the playback is not consistent from playback to playback) -- Brad Fuller (408) 799-6124 ** Sonaural Audio Studios ** (408) 799-6123 West San Jose (408) 799-6124 Cambrian ________________________________ Hear us online: www.Sonaural.com
