Korg KRONOS with Sonar X1

[jimknopf]

Sonar X1 is capable of detecting hotswapping of devices while running. So that should not be the main problem.

The audio driver has latencies which make it completely unuseable in Windows here.

I am even facing one more problem: as soon as the Kronos is USB-connected, even if I only use it's midi connectivity, I get crackles in Sonar X1 audio recording. It's alsways hard to tell exactly which combination in a highly complex PC system causes such issues, but connecting the Kronos USB-driver is the only thing causing such trouble at the moment here.

One thing I have noticed and this is probably Sonar (or more likely the Kronos midi driver) that sometimes when you close down Sonar then the sound on the Kronos stops working (rebooting Sonar fixes it - quicker than rebooting the Kronos).

Why would you close Sonar then re-boot the same program? Or was that a single instance (where the K sound stopped) and now you just minimize Sonar?

I had stopped using Sonar and just wanted to play the Kronos. So when I closed Sonar all the sounds on the Kronos were deactivated - in fact the Sonar process was still runnning - something that has only started happening since installing the Kronos midi driver. The only way to get sounds back on the Kronos was to kill the process and reboot Sonar - this is the only reason for doing that.
