Sonar Soundfont sync?

ttam · Jun 1, 2005, 03:04 AM

Hi I'm new to this forum and the Kx drivers. When I use sonar with asio drivers my soundfonts are in sync with my Dxi synths but are at a different pitch than they should be. When I use wdm drivers at 44100 my soundfonts are in tune but play out of sync with my Dxi synths. Can anyone help me with my problem? I use sonar2 and Sonar4

By the way the lack of latency and increased sound quality on these drivers really rock.
Thanks ttam

How old is your PC (specs)? Could it be that you need to be using a Standard PC configuration, instead of an ACPI PC configuration? I used to have the out of sync problem, so I had to change my PC configuration to Standard. Then, sync was great!

Now, I use SOANR 4, and dont have any sync problems. Are you sure, in SONAR Options/Audio General tab, that sample rate is set to 48 kHz. It has to be. How are you playing soundfonts, by soft synth or using the kX Synth?

Thanks Thomas for the quick reply . I put the sample rate to 48khz in asio and sync was perfet but tuning was bad. I eventually found that the Synful dxi I was using didn't like playing at 48khz all other dxi's play perfectly in tune with my soundfonts.

So it must be a bug with the synful dxi I'm going to uninstall the dxi and reinstall the vsti and play it as a dxi and see if that fixes it. The synful plays in tune at 44100 but slightly out of sync with kxsynth using the wdm drivers.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi the Synful synth has a known fault and only plays at 44100 at the moment. Boy the things I can find out by going to the products web page.
Thanks again for your help.
