I'm using a Behringer X-Touch.

I use a Mackie MCU, and it works just fine with Sonar.

There was several threads about subj. in this forum...
 
Out of the box, with stock/official plug-ins:
Mackie MCU Pro (+ XT when required)
Behringer X-Touch ("big" one)
Presonus Faderport (one strip version!)
Roland A-Pro keyboars
Naktar Impact (not Panorama!)
Softube Console 1 (not really good as a general Sonar controller)
 
Obsolete devices with original Sonar support:
Roland VS-700 (problematic with Win10)
Roland VS-100 (as one strip controller)
Frontier AlphaTrack (better with not official plug-in)
 
Good not official solutions for:
Behringer X-Touch Mini
Behringer BCR2000

Hey firebird. I've been reading on here that the x touch is pretty nice. I definitely had trouble with behringer many years ago but wouldn't be surprised if they've been much better recently. The x32 is decent but a little jumpy in my opinion. What has your experience bee

What is the naktar? You mean nektar. I'm not really looking for keys though.

I used the faderport 8.. and that has 2 emualtions beside their own one, MCU and another.
 
can't say I use it with sonar, but should work well enough

Sorry for the typo. I have mentioned all controllers, with and without keys. The list is not long
 
Faderport 8 works in MCU mode with Sonar (no special plug-in for it). So MCU Pro, Faderport 8 and Behringer X-Touch ALL use the same software on Sonar side, so theoretically have the same functionality. Practically, Faderport 8 has less controls then MCU Pro (while X-Touch has the same number of controls), and so functionality is limited.

To answer your question, Behringer got a bad name for some of the stuff they used to sell.  Later equipment seems to have improved and on a par with many others.  I had a Behringer BCF2000 and it worked but the motorized faders were noisy. The motorized faders on the X-Touch are quiet.

I need to correct this statement (don't know where you got that info from AZ?) but the VS-700 works 100% like it did on win 7 and win 8 (you just need to disable driver signing for installation and then turn it back on)
 
It does not have the full functionality as it had in Sonar before the X series came out (1 or 2 features are no longer supported, e.g. channel locking is still there on the control surface but may cause troubles when used in new Sonar ... but that is actually a Sonar issue).
 
Unfortunately Roland no longer supports it (hence no more driver updates) and Cakewalk no longer cares about ANY control surface (so WYHIWYG)
