Additionally, we continue to offer Dorico Pro crossgrades for purchase to eligible Finale & PrintMusic license holders.

We are aware of a problem in which Sonar resets all controllers to zero by default. To fix this, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Options | Project menu.  Click the Midi Out tab on the dialog box.
  2. Uncheck Zero Controllers When Play Stops. This should stop the controllers from resetting.

Note: In SONAR X1 Producer the commands are in a different place:

  1. Edit > Preferences > Project > MIDI > Zero Controllers When Play Stops.
  2. Edit > Preferences > Audio > Playback & Record > Play Effect Trails After Stopping.

After changing the above commands, click on "Apply". This process must be done for all projects using the ARIA Player previously saved in Sonar.
