API's for Sonar?
Are there published API's for people who want to create software/hardware that integrates with Sonar functionality? I am working on a project to do just that and I would like to find out what parameters in sonar are available for control via API's rather than the ACT or some other front end control mapping.

Download the SDK and get after it.
It has sample surface code etc.
Things like GetMixParam() SetMixPram() are there.

So I am struggling to understand these documents. I am not particularly technical so can you tell me if sonar API's extend to things like:
1) Multiple sends (4 specifically including routing sends)
2) Input and output routing
3) inserting new tracks and busses
4) record automation
5) Freeze Track
6) Set markers, punch in/out, loop points
etc...
Can these types of things be set to controller functions even in act?

Where do we get the SDK? Never mind - found it in Dev Exchange section. Bob Bone

More I look into it the only thing I can not figure out how to approach is multiple sends. Are there api's to open/control more than a single send?

The SDK needs to be updated AFAIK.
I believe that's for X2.

With new releases comes new stuff for the API's/SDK's. AFAIK we haven't updated the Dev Exchange page yet.

So can one control sends 1-4 via a hardware controller?

No change is required to the surface SDK as far as X3 is concerned.
The SDK does need updating however for some of the newer interfaces added when we did VS-700 support. We will update it sometime soon.

Noel,
I may be asking the question poorly and I may have missed something obvious but the big question I have is this.
are sends 2,3,4,etc available for controller assignments via the SDK? The reason I am asking is that I have never seen a controller that allows for more than a single send to be controlled via a standard channel. I am trying to determine if this is a system limitation or just something developers have ignored.

Sends are enumerated by the surface so I don't see any reason why there should be any limitation there.
The limitations probably have to do with real estate.
