Just wanted to chime in to say that I have use the azslow control surface and although it took me a while to figure it out I was able to make my Korg NanoKontrol2 work as I have always wanted it to work. I can control both tracks and busses in the Console view.
 
Thank you very much.

I am bumping the thread in hope to get more alpha testers for my MCU preset. Up to now, I know about one (!) without MCU but with QCon Pro. So I have branched the preset (IQP) with avoided negotiation, reduced range on sliders and different ring indication mode.
 
I hoped to do all test with TouchDAW, but even Humatic say it is a bad idea. Deducting what my plug-in send differently and so TD is interpreting incorrectly is a fun by itself but that does not answer on the question either real device react correctly.
 
The test is simple and is not going to take more then 10 minutes of your time:

1. Download and install the latest version from http://www.azslow.com/index.php/board,2.0.html
2. In Mackie Control Properties dialog save your current preset (in case you have ever changed some defaults)
3. In SONAR Preferences/MIDI/Control Surfaces, remove "Mackie Control" and insert "AZ Controller". Select correct Input and Output from MCU
4. In the "AZ Controller" properties, go to the "Options" tab in in the "Tweak current configuration..." box and select "Mack.. Control" (or "IQP" in case you have it).
5. To restore your original configuration, remove "AZ Controller", reinsert "Mackie Control" and restore preset inside its Properties dialog.

Any response from you is welcome. "It does not work at all" is still better then nothing. But in case you are ready to spend more than 10 minutes, you can help me to create something really working for you. The preset is just a preset, you can modify everything yourself if you want/need and have time.

Will give it a go

I have been giving this a go with my MPD26 and I am making progress.  Not the easiest tool to figure out, but I have to say the things that do work , seem to work better than relying on ACT for me.

I have an Allen and Heath ZED-R16 that I have never got to fully work as a controller.  I have my hopes that this might solve that.  Maybe I should lower my expectations so that I am pleased with the results.  I look forward to giving it a try.
 
These boards even come with a basic version of Sonar but the combination was never completed between the hardware and software I don't think.

I finally took a some time and set AZ Controller up to work with some basic functions using my Akai Pro MPK 88. So far I've just set up the transport and some commands but it works great! Way easier to work with than the ACT interface. ACT kept losing my settings. Now I might get somewhere with the MPK.
 
Thanks for all of the time you put into this!

I have just written simple preset generator so it is now possible start using my plug-in with simple devices without spending a week: http://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,154.0.html

In case you describe your expectations, I can try to answer either you should lower them or not

Thank you.  I am going to try and give you more feedback.  i know it can be tough to put in work and it seems like nobody cares.

 
I certainly care, but I just can't play with this before the summer.
 
I'm hoping azslow3 won't give up before then.
 
It's good to see others getting involved as that will help to keep it alive.  I still have to get a decent keyboard/controller (I currently have a 2 octave cheap one) and will be even more interested when that happens.
 

Tested with my Novation Launchkey 61, i use your plugin azslow in combination with ACT within Sonar X3 Studio.
Results?
AMAZING, I was able to program the Mute buttons of my Launchkey that despite my efforts within ACT, i never was able to get it function properly.
I'll be trying and testing more possibilities, once i can understand a bit more how it works.

Thank you so much for your kindly efforts.
