yo, i don't use sonar, i use nuendo. i have a video (look at my signature) called track and sync. watch that video, even though it's talking about tracking and sync'ing in nuendo, the principle is the same for whatever DAW you have.

Did you go to the Global options on sonar? If not, go there and check the midi output box. Then go to the mpc and go to the midi screen and check the mmc control "on". After this is done you can press the space bar on the keyboard it should start it.

I've had problems with Sonar 4. When I try to sync it with my MPC to track my beats, it crashes on me. Let me know if you get it to work with the MPC as the master.
