I select a track in Sonar with the mouse and it becomes orange.
 
I select a track with a hardware controller and it gets a green bar.
 
I want the the orange track to get the green bar, automatically. If I select multiple tracks orange, I want all orange ones to get the green bar.
 
Is that possible?

Thanks.
 
 

What control surface are you using ?
The green bar is more than likely the WAI strip (Where am I). this bar highlights the selected track your control will see. I use my bank buttons on my control surface personally.

Building my own atm with TouchOSC and Cakewalk Generic Surface.
 
It works well, but the main problems are around focusing the view (e.g. Clips and Mixer lanes) on the ones I select via Controller. Are there keyboard shortcuts? "F" and his companions doesn't do the job, I need to center all views on the currently selected tracks.

Can I sync the "WAI strip" to my mouse selection via shortcut or always?

Ok, there is:
"Right-click in the WAI strip, and choose Move > [name of controller/surface] > here from the pop-up menu."
 
So close.... how can I assign this function to a shortcut or midi controller? Can't find it in the shortcuts menu.

not sure really, the guy you want to talk to is Azslow. He will be around shortly. he typically always responds to controller threads. he is a good guy.
but you can move the WAI strip by using the bank buttons, then the select button on your controller.

Yeah, after manually creating Midi controls for hours I realised there's an OSC interface by Azslow..

Sorry, I do my best to allow people find my site in time.
 
AZ Controller is the only way to do "advanced" things from controller. That is also the only Sonar plug-in which has build-in OSC support.
 
I hope my phone preset will do operations you want. If not, you can extend it (on both sides, probably with my help on AZ Controller side). Just several comments:
* I have experienced periodic significant "delay" from TouchOSC on my phone, can be phone specific. Normally revert to normal speed after switching Wifi / TouchOSC / Phone or simply short pressing power button for sleep/awake.
* there is more advances (and more expensive) Lemur project. I have not tried myself but many people like it more. In general Lemur can work with AZ Controller, but probably minor tweaking is required for OSC Phone preset (and complete recreation of OSC part)
 

Hey Azslow! Definitely not your fault that I didn't come across your project earlier.
 
You did some crazy good work there, I'm also very happy about the extensive documentation. So far I didn't run into issues, except that I need to toss my last 6h of fiddling with TouchOSC into trash and rethink my concept from scratch, cause now there're so many new possibilities. Built myself a controller that would cost $5000 in hardware.
 
Thanks for you project, keep it alive, please!
 
The Sonar guys should advertise it a little bigger maybe. You have my vote.
