how to make SONAR receive QUARTER TONE changes and send it automatically to PA-500ort ?

my method is to press the SCALE Preset everytime to enable/disable it.

Hi

try to record- and enable-action with your soft-seq.
When you can record it, you know the change-string.
Put it in your sequence and it will work.
But I think, that it is not possible, because its an anknown ext. command.
You can take a look to your Manual (Midi-Implementation)

u mean i record it as i record a note ? just press the Scale Preset during MIDI record ?

yes , when the key will give out the command you know him.
copy and paste to the right place and it may work.
But the keys will not show all commands. That may be a problem.
And another problem can be, that the same key cannot recieve his own commands, because its a NRPN. (Non Registered Parameter Nunmber)

When you want to make difficult things, its better to make a direct songbook-selection with your SW-Seq..
And in your Songbook you can store the quarter tone-settings.
You can select all SB-Entries 1-9999 by a double-control-change command.

i test REC method but sonar receive nothing !!!

also i try to use SYSex in sonar by RECEIVE BANK in SYSex view, i select 1st selection called "You start dump on instrument" but SONAR receive nothing when i select scale preset in PA-500 and it stay 0 bytes received.

Have you take a look into the manual. Midi-Implementation ?
Or put the song into the key and link it with a SB-Entry.
Its not possible to control all funktions of the PA-Keys over a SW-Sequenzer

Sonar will not receive quartertone information. You can only use pitchbend to achieve that. The only way that I've heard of, is some sort of hardware for oriental users which uses Sys. Ex messages to do that.
