Its very frustrating. I can use remote control to midi learn the knobs etc but to programme the transport is a minefield.
What Sonar needs is a midi learn in the key bindings preference page. For some reason it wont pick up the play button even if I set the play button to be on Midi channel 1 and set to 1.
The midi is clearly going in as the midi icon light is flashing, but midi wont bind to it.
 
Alex, any progress?
 
I really dont want to have to switch between one preference to another just to be able to use the transport and the assignable remote controls I have setup.

right, so, using the method Alex found with the transport / jog control..Note those settings and programme them into a Platinum template, then use remote control to learn all the knobs and whatever you want to do.
 
Voila, I have maschine doing what I want it to do.
 
nice one Alex for getting my brain into gear on this.
 

Cheers...The big one is trying to get 'bank' pads 15 and 16 working so you aren't limited by 8 channels. I really want to get a custom template working if anybody beats (see what I did there) me to it please share!

I have Knob pages 1 and 2 controlling 1-8 and 8-16 respectively....
 

also with the mutes
 
 

Just need to control the jog wheel to move in frames and I am away

You have a toggle set up so you can jump channels in banks of 8? - if so please let us know how you did it!

 
Found it.
Start controller editor
Press pad 15
Press assign tab & Hit Tab
Enter MCU Button 47
Press pad 16
Enter MCU Button 46

This will now toggle in banks of 8. Sadly the channel numbers don't change on the display though...

Please, if you find a way of doing something let us know..

So I went through all 103 parameter ID's for "MCU Button".... Some seem to work with Mackie control... others don't. I managed to locate a few CC's worth having...


48 = write automation record enable..
49 reset faders toggle
63 = piano roll
64 = toggle control bar
68 = audiosnap
74 = master bus focus
89 = toggle smart grid mode
90 = Add marker
96 = arrow up
97 = arrow down
98 = arrow left
99 = arrow right
102 = play/stop
 
I then realized of course it's communicating through VS-700... so I went through the VS-700 manual no luck.
Does anybody have a list/table of VS-700 controller codes?
 
Thanks..

thats what I am looking for also.....
