External controled playback of midi?

[Mongoo]

I'm using an external recorder as Master MTC to playback virtual instrument midi parts in Cakewalk, then route the audio from the VI back to the external recorder.

Problem is, if I just push play on the software transport buttons then the midi plays back with sound, but if I press play on the ext. rec. the sequencers transport looks like it is playing but it doesn't play the sounds with the midi.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Mongoo

I understand your situation but can't solve the problem. I think if you do get it figured out, you'll still have a latency problem.

My suggestion would be to convert those virtual instrument tracks to audio tracks within Sonar/Cakewalk. Then you'll be able to monitor sound in at least two directions.
