Hi Everyone.
 
Just wondering if any clever person here is using a Novation Ultranova as a controller in Sonar? I tried using automap to do so when it was first released and it was a bit of a nightmare, so I am curious as to whether things have improved since. I thought I would ask if anyone has had any success before I jump down that rabbit hole again:)
 
Thanks!
 
Bruce.

I have a Faderport and a Novation 25 SL. I can get one, or the other working, but not both at the same time. Automap seems to work well with what little I was able to use it. I have both units working in S1 and Cubase 8, but grew frustrated working it all out in Sonar. Taking a break, then I'll do more research and see if I can get both to run at the same time.

Thanks for the response Dale. I am also running a Faderport, so you have answered a question I didn't even know I had!

I've spent at least a dozen hours trying to get these to work, and neither do it consistently if both are installed. I may give support a call tomorrow or Tuesday to see if they can help.

Yes - I spent a day last week playing with them Dale. Both the Faderport drivers and the Automap plugin seem a bit fragile. I have settled on the Faderport as it sems to work well if left to its own devices. Automap is still very unstable on my system:(
I hope support have some answers for you:)

I'm hoping ACT gets an update. Took me all of 20 mins to set them up in three other daws.
 
(fingers crossed for tomorrow)

Hi. Which version of Automap are you using? I have a Novation Nocturn, that works (for the few things I use it for).
I found that version 4.8 was "the one" that worked for me.
Best of luck.

Thanks for the tip Ken. I notice in the release notes that is the version that added Sonar support. I will give it a try.
