NOTE:

I copied-pasted the following from another thread I started today. My question might be better here...

_______

Hi!

I've always had trouble customizing un-supported control surfaces for SONAR, and I am wondering would it be worth it to configure my YAMAHA 01v96 thru ACT to control SONAR 8.5's console view.

This because the little DLL once made for the 01v96 to be used in SONAR is not installing properly in WINDOWS 7 64 bits, and I have not yet been able to register the DLL... so, I'm stuck at the moment.

Could a "control surface guru" share some light on this topic??

Thanks very much.

Hi yummay,
 
Wow,... I haven't been in these parts for a long while.  Your message popped up on one of my email accounts as part of a subscribed thread I was in from years past. LOL!  Anyway, I wish I could answer your question because I have just recently built two custom computers and am using Win764 but I no longer use Sonar. It was a beautiful thing though having full automation finally on my XP machine using the 01V96 and Sonar. Took me over a week getting this to work though. Cakewalk should support this very popular Yamaha board with ACT in my humble opinion but I am pretty sure it is the Yammy/Rolandus thing if you catch my drift.
 
Good luck!

I would like to use real faders for automating my tracks in Sonar.

I have a couple of Yamaha mixing boards (O1V96 and O1V) and it would be great if I could use the faders of the O1V96 to do real time automation. I am only interested in volume fader automation.

I was able to get the ACT MIDI Controller Plug-in to automate 8 of my first layer of 16 channels on my board but for the life of me I cannot get the second 8 in bank 2 to work separately.

I have also tried using the Cakewalk Generic Controller Plug-in and can get 16 individual tracks to operate individually but when I move the faders on the 01V96, Sonar’s faders go spastic and convulse up and down hundreds of times as I raise the fader over the course and duration of a one 100-mm fader rise. I have tried hundreds of combinations of parameter and setup configurations to no avail.

I am and have been using Sonar 6.0.1 PE.

I have tried upgrading to 6.2 and 6.2.1 over 5 times in the course of the last 14 months and every time I upgrade it totally breaks Sonar's GUI, loses plug-ins and settings, and I get no audio to play period.

If there are any Active Controller Technology Operators who are Really Smart "ACTORS" familiar with this play out there who might point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated.


In the track veiw there is the colored act strip on the left hand side of the tracks, red ,blue, whatever. When you move to the next set of eight tracks do you right click where that colored strip would be and select move ACT controller here? (something like that) You have to move the location of the ACT controller. Click, it's there. Try that if you haven't done it.

LOL!

Yes, I knew this thread was kind of an oldy, but I just thought that it has very good info in it, so I posted...

So, either way, I guess i'll also have to work on this for a whole week to try to make it work.

Thanks.

I'm aware that yummay reopened the thread, Crg. I just had a little smirk seeing you answered to the OP instead of the new question . Sorry, I just meant it as a funny remark.

I don't have any info on ACT vs Yamaha 01v96 either, so, well... I should have just kept my pie hole shut.

Whether Joy D got your message Crg or not I dunno, and I am not sure whether you read the whole thread or not as it was a long time ago, but she did have success getting the 01v96 to work in ACT after I did but it took me a solid week of work to make it happen and my comments prior to this post still stand.  
 
Two quick questions Craig if I may.  Are you sure you are not Benicio Del Torro and are those smoke rings made by American Spirit?  ;-)

I'll have to reread the thread. I often just post a suggestion without reading the whole thing. Over the years people have not been aware that you had to move the controller strip sometimes.
I do in fact smoke American Spirit. Benedict who?

Good guess on my part, eh.  I figured you to be too smart to be smoking cigs with crud in them.  My Benicio Del Torro comment was a complement.  Ask the ladies if you want?   ;-)

Benedict who? Just kidding, I like the guy. What I was wondering is why I have never seen Joy D on any other threads? I would like to know what the registry fixs she did were without researching a pile of threads from several forums.

The link to the author's web site where the dll file he wrote with instructions on how to do it has been down for some time and the file and instructions were for Windows XP 32 bit.  I might have this information and file on my old computer but it is probably irrelevant to most people now anyways.  You had to set up a dll file and do some tweaks to both parties, but the 01V96 would show up in Sonar's control surfaces drop down list and this was the only way to make it work.  As far as I know and with all of my research back then, the only people to get the O1v96 and Sonar to talk to one another was the author of this dll file, me, and then Joy D.

Wow... this thread got its life back now, has it?

:-)

Anyway, I know that the website where we could find the DLL is down / unattended... I still have it and could make it available if requested.

But, as I am not a computer guru, I would like to install it on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. The DLL was originally written for a 32 bits OS. The DLL is not registering and I am having difficulties to register the DLL without having to donwload YET another utility on my system...

I would like to register it manually, if possible. When i'll finally have time i'll do some more research on this...

I got the 01v96 to react partially with SONAR 8.5 just by trying the different types of controller surface in the drop-down menu, but nothing worked fully (nor constantly...)

Few years later... Is anybody still have this DLL 01V96 control surfaces driver? I would realy appreciate if someone could help me to find it.

Smaczek, got your PM via email.
 
Have not used Sonar in years but I will see what I can find on one of my old computers and get back to you as soon as I can.

Nice! I've used this dll with SONAR X1 (Win Xp 32bit) choosing the Studio Menager protocol and it works great - but this mode is usefull only when You mixing (not recording) because it's not using the remote layer but the 1-16, 17-32 and master layer's (full control on faders, paning, solo/mute(ON)/sel and few user defined key's as play, stop etc.). Unfortunately the "remote" mode of the dll is not working for me except user defined key's. If I figureout something with it I let You know.
