I start to open SFP and than Cubase 6.5
Cubase6.5:
Install a drone in the VST rack + Halion Sonic SE both on a midi track in Cubase 6.5
Routing Midi drone
Input routing ->Cognitone Midi out + output routing to Halion Sonic Se + monitor knob on ( for accepting midi Cognitone Midi out signal
Output routing -> Halion sonic SE Midi + Channel on All ( if this works ,than later for every sound a audichannel)
Open Halion Sonic Se to set on GM mode
SFP
I import a test midi file and go to the global setup page
Host : DAW1 Cubase(x64)(VST)
No device description
Selected port should be a Midi Drone?-> cannot make this active ?
Than i must go to the reserved ports for the Host : DAW1 Cubase(x64)(VST) i think..whch port to choose of the 3 ?
For now i am lost with this setup...
No.. i try to use the GM device now with the DAW1 Cubase(x64)(VST) and use the connector for that
The internal GM synth is now connected with the DAW host , but i must now a reserved port and the button is now on for Midi drone
Will it now work the GM device setup with the midi drone in Cubase and routed to the Halion Sonic Se synth in GM mode ?
I will read the post of Juergen again hereunder, because it was earlier discussed here this subject by me
Note: there is new video for setting u a MAC GM, perhaps there is a similar workflow for me to study?
Is it documented : Midi drone ?

I remembered that we discussed this topic some time before a I was looking for the thread. Now I found it. It's this one:
There I posted some screenshots showing the routing of a MIDI drone in Cubase (my post from 11. July). Hope that helps.

I just looked at your workflow for this Midi drone setup.
It seems that i must assign every GM Midi sound in SFP what is in the instrument sheet list of the arrangement...
I think there is another way in Cubase by loading also the Halion Sonic Se in the VST instrument rack ( and not making a instrument Track)
Than you can use the GM mode of the Halion Sonic Se and set "channel option" : to Any... for output routing of the Halion Sonic SE
With the GM device description than the output of SFP irs routed to one of the 16 midi channels of the Halion Sonic SE
Another step further is to have a audio channel for each midi channel
So try also to setup now with the GM mode and the Midi Drone..
There is also now is the synchronisation issue ..
Better is to work first in SFP itself and later go to he DAW, but that is not possible with the Halion Sonic Se
Yes the synchronization of SFP and Cubase 6.5 : Cubase acts here as a slave ? ( Cubase does not support beying a MIDI clock slave ) .. , the subject is here transport and sync control and there are some example scenarios to find, but ofcourse not the setup of SFP and cubase .
Only a transport module.. this is the trouble with a Midi Drone to get this transport commando's and timing for both applications the same.
Working in SFP directly is not possible with the Halion Sonic Se, so why this hassle for me to work with a midi Drone ?
In Cubase 6.5 i can use directly the Halion Sonic Se in the VST insrumentrack (F11)..why i should routed the SFP output into the Midi drone and than with The Halion Sonic Se
Why i should here a MIdi Drone ?
