I recently purchased a RD2000 and also the Sonar/Cakewalk Platinum sw for recording editing. I just want to create multi track recordings on Cakewalk using the internal sounds of the RD2000. Basically all track midi information is sent from the RD2000 and recorded in Cakewalk/Sonar .. edited .. and then when finished all midi data and track channels sent back to the RD2000 and it plays all finished midi tracks (up to 16 channels I believe) through the RD2000 using the internal sounds I select. Then id like to record the full audio wav out (all tracks simultaneously) from the RD2000 to as external harddrive. I also need a way to save the project so I can just call it up on Cakewalk and it remotely sets up the RD2000 zones automatiocally when I need to work on the project in Sonar.
Im banging my head against the wall trying to set this up. Does anyone have an online resource available to help me with settings on the RD2000 and Sonar?
I had this same setup back in the 1990s with a JV1080, a Fatar controller keyboard and Cakewalk. Worked great. Layered edited sounds, full compositions, multi tracks and all configuration and settings saved on my laptop. But ill be dang if I can set this up properly with RD2000 and Cakewalk/SONAR platinum.
Help welcomed...

Re: RD2000 Midi help
I'm not sure for which part of that you need help?
For the audio part - I haven't tried, but I think the RD-2000 can record to a wav File on an USB stick.
For the project save part - you wanna save & recall the program settings via Midi, right? That would be possible in theory but I fear there isn't a patch editor which can do this, so I suggest you write it to a program - there are plenty of program spaces to save to.

Re: RD2000 Midi help
Hi,
There are a few questions here.
Any sound the RD plays can be recorded on a usb stick as a wave file. Or you could just record audio to sonar using the rd usb audio or audio out to an external audio interface.
You separate the midi instruments / zones using midi channels.
To use sonar to select the zones/instruments you could use midi bank/program messages. Note Roland dont recommend using more than 8 zones at once because of the processing load on the RD. I normally use up to 4 zones. Plus an external hardware synth and virtual instruments.
The RD is pretty comprehensive as a midi controller and sound source but it needs setting up and a decent knowledge of midi. I have not used Sonar for a while (bandlab now) so I cant be more specific.
If you want to edit sounds of the RD I've written a free windows editor. Www.stuartpryer.co.uk
Desertboat has written one for IOS.
Cheers
