Sorry AzSlow. Your Azslow Faderport settings don't work for me. :-(  I've tried everything.

Probably not everything
If Faderport is enabled in the MIDI preferences and AZ Controller's Input/Output are set correctly in the Control Surfaces preferences, AZ Controller "always works"...
 
Look at "Last MIDI event" section of AZ Controller configuration window while pressing some button, let say "Play".
a) If you do not see any changes there, your MIDI settings are incorrect.
b) If you see some message (which?) but you do not see "Play" at the right of it,  your FaderPort is in other "mode".
In the documentation, section 2.2.4 (for LIVE! Setup), there is an instruction how to change modes. I do not know for which mode I have written the preset, probably native, and I do not know how many time and which buttons you should press in the mode changing state to get it. But there are not many combinations.
 
The configuration is based on information from other users, I do not have Faderport and there is no official MIDI documentation for it.

I am about to buy PreSonus FaderPort. I try to find if I can assign CC11 to the fader. I am working with several libraries in Sonar Platinum and I would like to control Expression with the fader. Anyone knows if it is possible, or fader can only control the Volume? I know in FaderPort 8 I can assign any controller to any fader.
Thank you

At the risk of sounding really stupid, is this for the original Faderport, or Faderport 8, or does it matter?  Thanks.  (I just got a Faderport 8 and am not happy with its Sonar functionality at all.)

Cannot get to work in bus pane.  Never could.

In the latest version that functionality is improved. It is switching between Buses/Tracks automatically once you change focus by mouse (had to be manually switched with "Output" button before).
 
PS. AlphaTrack preset development in progress.

+1 for alphatrack here also.

Does the FP still stay turned on after closing sonar when using azcontroller?
 
I prefer the functionality of az control as I can switch between tracks and busses without touching the mouse but when using the original driver i like how the FP turns off when I close sonar.
 

It is still as it was before... But I can try to turn it off, if I not forget, next week (please remind me otherwise).

AZ controller totally rocks! And AZslow3 himself totally rocks!
Just wanted to give major props for AZslow3 and his wonderful work!
Peace!

I just got this used FaderPort, but I hadn't really researched its compatibility with SPlat.  I was in for some serious buyer's remorse until voila - AZ Controller saved the day!  
 
Now I'm totally digging the FaderPort and I've barely used it:)
 
Thanks again, azslow3!

I have made a test version of AZ Controller with a kind of "turn off on exit" behavior for Faderport (turn LEDs off, move the Fader all the way down): http://www.azslow.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=28
 
But since I do not have the device, I need someone to test the result. Do not forget to regenerate Faderport preset after installation (Options/Tweak current configuration.../Faderport).
To test:
1) are all LEDs off after Sonar exit? Should be the same when you close the project (so Sonar is still running, but without projects, f.e. initially)
2) does Sonar exit normally? (my code is executed at the very end... may be Sonar is not always happy with my activity at that time)
 
Even if you have no time to write detailed observation, a single sentence feedback "Works"/"Crashes"/"Btn X stay on" is sufficient to help me identify where possible problem(s) can be.
 

Thanks - I will test it now and post once done

Thanks, that information is sufficient for me. I guess one more polishing step is required to get it work right under all conditions. I will let you know when done.
