Remember there is also the option to group FX controls via Console View: Options / FX / Show Assignable Controls
 
I know it does not automatically group all parameters (which I personally did not have any need for so far) but you can simply show whatever assignable control you need and group it as you like using one of the 26 quick groups ... what's cool about the feature: you can reassign other controls and Sonar will remember the grouping the background and still apply changes if one of the grouped controls is changed...

While nice "found", is there some way to see more than 4 of them?
 
By the way, external solution is ready: http://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,161.0.html
Can sync separate FX or the whole strip.

No, I think it is hardcoded to show 4 controls but as I said, you can assign others and the grouping will persist in the background, you just don't see it anymore ...

Just read through that ... pretty cool how you create all these solutions. you should take over the niche market for control surfaces. companies like Roland should send you their legacy controllers and pay you by the fix ... and users like myself could put in orders for some enhancements :-)

Hi, guys. Sorry for abandoning the thread. I have not been feeling well and trying to focus on some work I am doing. Thanks for the suggestions and support on this. So since this is not possible I guess a feature request is in order. I was going to suggest simply having the hosts move this to the FR forum to avoid a cross posts but it seems to be garnering some good convo and workarounds so maybe we should let it linger and, if the hosts are cool with it, I'll put in an FR in a while based on some of the input here.
 
Just want to address this...

Desired function:
 
Link those two instances of the guitar sim so that if I tweak one the other responds in the same way. Just like linking controls within Sonar.

While not elegant, after tweaking a plug-in you could delete the plug-ins in the other tracks and ctrl-drag the tweaked one.

Hi, Craig. Hope you have been well.
 
That's pretty much how I've been operating so far... more or less. Actually what I usually do is leave the original instance in place, turn it off then drag the newly tweaked sim into the associated track's Bin. That way I can kind of sort of a/b the old an the new. It is certainly inelegant but it gets me there.
 
This however poses other issues.
 
1) When I record these dual output tracks they are intended as one track. Basically I want them in sync until the very end where I may tweak the sims (or whatever) slightly different from each other. So only having one responding while I tweak is an obvious problem. It isn't really giving me what the end result is going to sound like so I either have to solo one side or try to ignore the second side. Not ideal.
 
2) Using the dual output method AND doing actual performed doubles (as in the same performance played twice into two set of tracks) means the same part is now a four track adventure. Tweaking across all four in this manner... well you see what I'm getting at. Add in harmonies or whatever I could be looking at 8 or even more tracks.
 
I could go on about other things, methods, workarounds, etc but my mind is on other things right now. I know this is an extreme luxury but if at all possible for something like this to be programmed in it would be AWESOME and I would lurvs Cake even more.
 
I have been tossing around the idea of seeing what kind of methods I can use with the new MixRecall feature to kind of mimic this type of functionality but I have been deeply involved in specific projects (mostly writing, learning, tracking) and really annoying meatworld stuff so I have not had a chance to really give MixRecall a good tire kicking yet.
 
Anyhoo... I hope to be back in the fray soon around here. Just got other crap on my brain so been lurkinating.
 
Stay awesome Sonar dudes and dudettes.

Send... pay.. market... The usual reaction on my proposals and solutions is silence. And the silence is not easy to interpret. Lets take the latest examples: this thread and ACT/CC (Machine) thread. I do not think someone will use my sync solution (easy to use, can be setup in 5 minutes for complex project, even with support "sync/no sync" switch throw a button on controller, or "sync once") and I do not think someone will make Machine preset in AZC. As well as VS presets. 2-3 days for someone with particular device, and he/she can get everything imaginable. But no one really wants. If someone can get me a hint why, I will listen. For the moment, I think either no one really need what the ask or they think anything which is not sold for $500 is "cheap and bad", and when something is free... it can not be useful by definition

Hi all... 
I know this thread is years old and maybe dead / irrelevant (platinum or bandlab might have added this feature? idk)
....But, I run X3 and one way to answer to this question follows:
Drop an FX chain module into your ProChannel and insert your amp sim (or whatever plugin you wish) into it. Now assign the knobs and buttons (up to 6 each, I think) to the parameters on your plugin. Repeat the process for the other track / save FX chain preset / save ProChannel preset, however you want to do it to duplicate this setup in the other track's ProChannel. 
Now you can group the two tracks (or just use quick grouping) and when you tweak one knob on your FX chain the corresponding knob in the other track will move along with it. Not as cool as it would be to use the plugin's GUI to tweak multiple instances of said plugin, but it achieves the same result (depending on the complexity of your amp sim, or whatever plugin you want on multiple tracks)
It should also be noted that (as far as I know) all the modules in the ProChannel work with grouping, so, for example, if I've got two matching guitar tracks, or two overheads or whatever, and I'd normally run them through 1176's, instead of dropping plugins in the FX bin, I'll just use the 'pc76' in the ProChannel and I'll be able to group the tracks and tweak the compression on both simultaneously.. 
rock on.
