Sorry if this has been asked innumerous times. I have looked through the manual and even bought a book on Sonar for more info, but I must be overlooking the information. If there are other earlier threads, could someone post a link?

While I love Sonar, I would like to be able to pan the different sides of a stereo instrument. Preferably, I'd like to set up each side on a different channel. When The instrument is inserted, it combines both channels on one. I've tried changing the properties of the instrument so as to not force stereo operation, but that didn't seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Suggestion : Load the instrument via energyXT, and pan them as you want there....
An idiot on Set Theory:
"In some cases there is an object called red that contains everything that is red. In much the same way a pot is a plate."

I thought up a work-around last night. It uses more tracks, but it would work.

Clone another audio track and use the MIDI track as its input also. Then pan each in opposite directions. Or I could set up a pre-fade send panned opposite of the post-fade output. Then set each to mono at the fader.

Splitting the output of the instrument would be so much easier. We're not short on tracks anymore...

This is what I do. It is the best solution I've come up with so far. As you said, not really hurting for tracks. You could always recombine them anyway after you get the balance you want. Maybe someone else has a more efficient solution. There are some quite knowledgable Sonar folks here. Have you tried the Sonar forum by the way?

LOL! No. I figured I'd be less likely to get yelled at to RTFM here than there. It just seems too obvious a question. But after reading the manual and Scott Garrigus' book, I didn't find anything on running dual mono as opposed to stereo. I thought y'all might have a simple fix that I was overlooking.
