    I have the Komplete 8 bundle with this studio set up:
    Kurzweil pc3, Alesis Fusion, Zoom R24, Alesis IO24, 2 Music Computers with adobe Audition 3 & 6, & Sonar 7 & X1. I can only get live midi control. If I go to song mode on keyboard I lose control & can't sequence/quantize/etc the sounds. The only program that sees the NI VST is Audition 3, but it does not play sound, so you're playing midi notes but nothing is coming out. Is there no way to control the sounds in NI the same way I control the sounds in my Alesis through my Kurzweil, or some kind of midi source which would give me midi based editing features like edit, copy & quantize or am I forced to only play these sounds live & record them into a seperate computer or Multitrack recorder?:(

    I'm not sure I understand exactly your procedure, I don't have your hardware, but you should see and be able to use the plugins in Sonar, you should check your VSTs folders in Sonar (Cakewalk's plug-in manager|VST Configuration|Options) and rescan you VST folders.

    Sonar has very solid MIDI capabilities and can easily use softsynths like Komplete on decent computers.
