Hi All,

I realize this thread hasn't been updated in a while, but I wanted to see if Sonar users are still using the Shuttle products and if anyone is interested in utilizing the Shuttle SDK for Sonar support.

Thanks,

Terry,
I realize this thread is NOT a new thread, but, since I just updated my computer to Win 10 x64, I find my Tranzport is no longer useable, but my Shuttle Pro V2 is somewhat useful.
 
I did find the new driver that allows use with Sonar on Win 10, and I've set up my Shuttle to use on Sonar Platinum.
 
It's actually working fine, but my only problem is it does not seem to want to work when the main Sonar program loses focus.  Right now, I only have to click on the top of the open program to reacquire focus, but, since I'm using 4 monitors, sometimes it's clumsy to find the cursor and move it to the top of the screen to click and reacquire focus.
 
My question, is there a way to make the Shuttle ALWAYS work and NOT lose focus?

...since I just updated my computer to Win 10 x64, I find my Tranzport is no longer useable...

 
I thought people in other threads were saying that the Tranzport still works on Win 10.  Is that not true?

Tranzport working here in Windows 10.  You have to launch the setup using either administrator or compatibility mode, if I recall correctly.  Other than the initial setup, everything about it works the same as it ever did.
 
More than I can say for the Contour.  As said MANY times around here, the Countour V1 was far superior to the V2.  The driver/Cakewalk Sonar plugin stopped working a long time ago.  Best you can do is to run it in V2 mode with no plugin to Sonar.  This means that it only works when Sonar is in focus as the active application.  It also means that the scrub wheels only go to measure granularity.  I prefer mine to work at the beat level.  You CAN get this to work using some CAL scripts and it's "mostly" ok, but it definitely has some glitchy stuff that it occasionally does.  It is tolerable, but not as nice as it was when the device came out.  It's one of those things that is a shame after the X1 Sonar came out.
 
Hope that helps.  I'm not around here a lot any more, but if you need the CAL scripts, I can get them to you...
 

If I can get just button 7 to start and stop the transport I will be happy.  I have the original SP and I got it to work when I first installed driver version 2.1.13...but after a shutdown and reboot it stopped working..but just for Sonar Plat.  The SP doesn't show up in Midi/Devices, although my Tranzport does...so that means both the input and output settings in "Controllers" have to be blank, but even so I got it to work - all the buttons and wheels - after that first 2.1.13 driver update installation.
