Autocomplete - tool of Satan?

Hey DragonBlood. I realise this may not be useful but I thought I'd post just in case - I bought a second hand Mackie Control off eBay for £350 (which I consider to be a bargain!) about a year ago and it works very well in Sonar X3, I've yet to come across a problem.

Is Tascam working on a console optimized for Sonar (similar to the V-Studio which I currently use)?

I don't know, but if I did, I couldn't tell you anyway.
 

Still using my trusty old Tascam US 2400 here. Still pisses me off that they totally abandoned / orphaned it but, oh well. All the stuff I need works fine on it.

My Behringer X32 Mackie Control function works fine in SONAR X3.  I've not found a way to make it control busses yet, but the basic volume and read/write, meters and transport controls work fine.  I never try to invoke control of plug-ins with it. 

De careful with Behringer.   The cheap control surfaces are NOT touch sensitive and will NOT track automation curves properly.     I bought a secondhand Tascam FW 1884 and only use the control surface part and its perfect.    All the basic functions work (Faders, Pan, Mute and Solo).    None of the Mackie protocol interfaces can properly handle ProChannel.  I had the Behringer and sent it back.   You can get the tascam for around 300.    Also, IF you want another interface, you can use that too but I bypass the interface and use only yhr control surface.  I use Focusrite interface.    With the cheaper Behringer, if you are trying to write an automation curve, only tracks the actual movement and then sets back to zero rather than stay at the point you moved to.  If you are looking for FULL X3 support, I do not think there is anything out there that supports it except MAYBE the discontinued VS 700

Really?
My eyes (inc OP) are firmly on this controller as are a lot of people I suspect... I guess I'm looking for specific answers on this particular model myself...

So far from reading this thread I am led to conclude there are issues with pro channel. I assume console view works.Assuming this is the case I guess this is a Sonar issues rather than something to do with the controller? Would be nice if a Cake employee could chime on here to give us some idea of the actual picture rather than what I'm perceiving.. Which may be right or wrong..

What happened the project that cakewalk announced sometime back  that they would release the Mackie code on  the open market and qualified members with experience in midi controllers would fix any issues and add new functionality?
