Lock A500pro faders to Buss faders?

Hey all,

I'd like the fader controls on my A500 to only control my 
project's buss faders.  I'm using the ACT settings as prescribed
in the A500 setup guide.

Any help appreciated, cheers! :)

    I know how to move the contoller around diferent sets of tracks, but I'm not sure how to get the faders to be dedicated to the busses, while keeping the rest stationary. I think you might have to have another contoller to accomplish this...I would not mind knowing how to do this, if it is possible, though...maybe someone else can lend a hand...

    I believe it is something like right clicking the fader, remote control > controller > LEARN. Wiggle the fader on your A500. Done. NB I haven't fully checked this.

    This is correct. Don't use the Sonar Control Surface (i.e. Disable ACT). Use the A-Pro Editor instead.
