    Assuming you are connected via USB here's a few things to check........

    1. check that the correct port is selected in both the MIDI devices and in the Control surface dialogue.
    2. Remember that PCR controls can be assigned to either port, so check that the PCR set up matches what you have selected in Sonar.
    3. Make sure you have the correct control map selected on the PCR, 1 is the default Sonar map.
    Has this just started recently or has it never worked for you in X1? Have you had in working in previous versions? Do the transport buttons work ok?

    Works fine here BTW.
