This looks promising... http://laslow.net/2012/03/14/disable-driver-signature-enforcement-in-windows-8/ I'll report back after I try it. ETA: SUCCESS! I did as the above post suggested using bcdedit to disable checking of the driver installation signature and it worked. - In a command prompt (or pow...

I was afraid somebody was going to beat me to this.

Yeah, later today I installed 64-bit Win8 and got the same result as you.

It did work with 32-bit Win8. I presumed it would work with 64-bit until I tested it. :(

*** DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR SYSTEM OR JUNO-G IF YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS *** I just installed Windows 8 32-bit on my DAW machine and went to install the Windows 7 Juno-G driver on it. Unfortunately the installer would not allow installation o...

Make sure you register your Sonar 4 LE on Cakewalk's site. You may be able to get a free or cheap upgrade to the latest version; especially if you are having difficulty with your current version. They'd probably rather you have the latest version than try to support a 4 generations old version. Cont...

Ah. Yes. I see.

I knew I was going to have to transfer it back to the PC to transcode it to MP3. I just didn't know how to record the sound generator output into an audio track. Resample looks like the trick.

Thx.

Thanks for all the help with the MIDI file on Cakewalk SONAR and the Juno-G. So now I want to make a recording of the MIDI file to MP3 using the Juno-G as the sound generator. I don't have a USB audio interface yet so I just tried taking the headphone output of the Juno-G into the mic/line input on ...

I just noticed that too and was about to post. <forehead slap> It looks like this file was taken from another file that had the drums both on channel 10 and individually on Channels 11-16 that somebody then merged 11-16 back into 10 not realizing they were doubling the drum hits. That version of the...

Thanks Pap. I'll give Frinika a try. I hadn't heard of that one. I have Anvil Studio (also free) but I haven't tried it with the Juno-G yet. As for an instrument definition file, you can create one for the factory setup at Roland's web site. http://www.rolandus.com/support/patch_script_builder/index...

i'm sure it's something i'm doing. i just can't for the life of me figure out what.

I tried it again. This time I didn't send the sysex data but it is still doubling channel 10. The sysex data has only one command; turn on GM mode. Examining the event list for channel 11, there is a bunch of CC121, a volume setting, a pan setting, and a program change event; no note events. So I tr...

OK. Did as you said. I put the JG into Performance mode. Loaded the MIDI file in Sonar. It asked me if I wanted the SysEx data to be sent to the synth; to which I said Yes. And then when I play it, the drums (and only the drums) are doubled. I can tell because the hats have a phased sound to them an...

As a follow-up question. To what "Instrument" should I map the Juno-G too? General MIDI, Roland GS, or the definition file I created with Roland's online tool? I know this is basic stuff, but Sonar is way more complex than Cakewalk used to be and its been 10+ years since I really messed wi...

OK. I will try the above suggestions when I get home tonight. One other thing I forgot to mention is that my Juno-G is still the last 1.0x revision. I have not updated to 2.0 yet. Don't know if that has any bearing on it. When I first set it up, I didn't manually set any parts on the JG. I just sele...

In the 3 years I've had my Juno-G I haven't really tried using it with Sonar until now. I updated to Sonar 8.5LE and now have a project to try with it. Prior to that, my experience with a DAW was with the DOS version of Cakewalk (3.0?) back in the 90's with my Roland D-10 and an MPU-401. It wasn't c...

<t>"I think, if Roland would have not named this the Gi, so much of this confusion could have been avoided. Instead of wondering, "is the workstation dead," we'd simply say the Juno-Gi is not a workstation at all. I wonder, is the state of the Fantom the more ominous question on all of our minds. " ...
