AC-7 Core and X2
Has anyone had any luck using the two together? I can get it to move sliders, but it totally freezes transport from both the iPad and the computer. Pressing play seems to start playback for a couple of milliseconds and then it just stops. It seems like the programming is way off from before.

there is a known issue that at times it freezes at "connecting" as a control surface but once its connected i have not seen any issues with it...

I've tried it. You'll need to be in SONAR mode, and click the "reset" button for it to connect successfully.

Works great!
Everything mentioned above applies -
Plus, I have noticed that under X2, the control surface dialog doesn't change to "connected" until I move one of the AC-7 sliders.

Hmm, that is not the experience I have had. The transport just refuses to budge and only 2 or three of the buttons work. It appears I just wasted $8.

try this..
navigate to C:Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Sonar X2 Producer folder with Windows Explorer and delete (or rename if you're the cautious type) ctrlsurface.dat and ttseq.ini.
Restart Sonar, select your MIDI inputs and outputs, create a Mackie control surface and hit reset on the AC-7

Just fired up one after the other.
AC-7 is IMHO more finicky - needs a kick start to work.
V-Control works straight away. Of the 2 I way prefer this one.

Jerry

Yes, V-Control is likely to work a bit more reliably. We often work directly with Neyrinck to maintain compatibility.

Yes but V-control is like $50.00 bucks...
@ SimpleM...
I just reinstalled rptmidi and reinstalled the app on my ipad...it takes a couple of shots to get it to enumerate over the wifi/rptmidi thing...
I'm sure you've selected whatever "named" device shows up in reptmidi as a midi device...then selected it using Mackie Control as your surface?
Once I've done that I did have to "reset" the prog on the ipad and then it worked, although for the first time in ever I found I actually had to tap on the fadwers in AC-7 to activate them...weird that...but it works fine after that...
I'm using SOnar Platinium on a 6 core Lynx Audio machine and a ton of vintage pre-amps/eq's/comps I build for fun and sometimes money, REDD.47/API/Neve I also use the UAD stuff, and also use a Macbook Logic 9 through Apogee...

Ahh yes, it is a clever app and I have tried to "demo" (free) which only lets you do simple transport and it does it quite well...but you cannot arm/record/etc in the free version.
I have never paid $50.00 for ANY ipad app and I have some heavy duty cad and electronics programs, let alone all the office stuff.
Besides there's absum-8, AC-7 and a host of apps that allow you to remotely control your desktop at a much less cost for entrance price.
I do not begrudge the makers of this app getting a profit, I'm sure the market base is rather slim since most muso's are continuously broke anyway...its just not worth the entrance price for to get a few more bells and whistles that I already don't use.
The iPad is great for tracking especially from another room, but its kind of an expensive transport device as a stand-alone and while this program I am sure is the cats meow...at some point everything reverts back to a tactile unit and thats where the money probably needs to go...especially considering "code"...

LOL ! Your POV - lets just differ !
Expensive transport bar yes. Have you tried the V-Window for controlling VSWt's ? THAT is worth the 35 Euros ! Thats the cat's purrrrrrrrrrrrrr ........

Jerry - How "controllable" is the Jog/Scrub function in V-Control? The Jog function in AC-7 isn't bad, but the Scrub function is way TOO touchy, and fairly hard to control. That, and the "M" buttons in AC-7 are in a weird random order and evidently can't be rarranged or relabeled. Thanks - Randy

This i an idea that is worthy...if these apps allowed a lot of personalization they might be worth the steep entrance price...so far you get what you pay for and not much else...
