Setup X32 Compact as midi controller?

I have been getting the mixer in use with SONAR, Now I need to get it to work as a controller also if I can.
 
Who has the X32 setup as a controller with SONAR?
 
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Peace,

    Does anyone know if ACT setup with the X32 will give me more control over the application with more than just the dedicated 8 faders in mackie compatibility mode?

    DAW can use only something the device can send. And it can send:
    * Faders 1-8, MIDI resolution, no touch sensitivity
    * Select/Solo/Mute per 1-8 channels
    * 5 another buttons.
     
    Other controls are not sending anything and so can not be used.
     
    The documentation say nothing either X32 is able to receive something (do you see faders moving and LEDs changing when using Mackie emulation?)
     
    Mackie plug-in can use all that controls, so you have volume/solo/mute/select + several layers for Mute buttons, fixed assignment, no ACT.
     
    ACT MIDI will allow you 8 faders and 8 buttons more or less freely assignable (also for ACT mapping, so for plug-in parameters).
     
    Generic Surface will allow you all controls more or less freely assignable (also for ACT mapping, so for plug-in parameters).
     
    AZ Controller... I think you already know that, I will not repeat one more time
