Ctrl49 and Sonar Platinum

M-Audio is not completely MCU compatible. Find MackieControl.dll (normally in C:\Cakewalk\Shared Surfaces) and replace it following these instructions: http://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,341.0.html
Then in the settings (Sonar menu / Utilities / Mackie Control - 1) set "Disable handshake". You can also change other options there, including what is controlled by the master fader. Press "F1" to open help file.

Darn it !!
 
AZLOW to the answer again     LOL.

A healthy competition to see who can help someone the fastest does my heart good in these "crabby ass" times.

Have try the same approach but it does not work. now the MakieControl name under Preference / Control Surface in the connected controllers/Surface is in parenthesis like it is missing. 
 
Any hints? 

Sonar always overwrite it on update, that part is expected.
But your observation means the registration of this DLL is broken. That is not expected.
 
1. Install "standard" surfaces pack. https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013438/Control-Surface-Installers That should fix the problem with paranthesis.
2. Replace MackieControl with moded version again. That should bring back "Disable handshake" option.

Any opinions?

Unlike music, politic, economy, etc., in technic if something is not there, then opinions, statements, etc. can not change the fact that not existing thing does not work

Sorry for my very late reply. Until today I could use Sonar and hopping the upgrades fix this problem, but to my surprise, No.
 
Again I had to rely on this nice forum and group of people. Thank you again azslow3! 
 
It took me lees time this time. ;)
 
And yes abacab, it does not work as advertise. Also I had my reserve about if a midi keyboard work well in a live situations, and I can say this far: No!. Sometimes the midi key stay press, and sometimes the typical reset of the machine, and man... that is not like that. Hope is only configuration and use. Also hope that the Cakewalk guys look at this issue. 
 
Keep Shining!

Just wondering if something technical changed between the Ctrl-49 and the newer Code series ...

I have a Roland A300-PRO that I use with Sonar.  As far as I know, the A-PRO series are the only controllers with native support in Sonar through the use of the A-PRO plugin.
 
I tried a M-Audio keyboard controller years ago, and gave up on the control aspects and bought the A-PRO.  I still like the M-Audio as a keyboard, with a nice mod wheel action.
 
Sonar is awesome in the studio, but as far as live use goes, many people prefer something like Ableton Live, for a couple of reasons.  It's rock solid audio engine, and the controller support out of the box is unmatched.
 
See this list of controllers with auto-mapping to control common parameters in Live as soon as you plug them in.
 
Warning, it's a long list...
