Is it just me or is there no way to have all 4 Banks of row of rotaries in focus at the same time? If not is there a way to re-arrange the layout of the Banks?
I mean having to switch banks to go from say the Threshold of a Compressor to its attack is not very desirable. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
TIA

Since 4 banks are for the same physical knobs, only one can be active. You can find the documentation in the "External devices" section of Sonar Reference Guide (chapters 20/40 for older Sonar version).
 
You can change the layout, the process is called "ACT Learning". There are many related bugs up to the level most people think the mapping is impossible. But it is, using: http://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,297.0.html

<p>Wow Thanks Azslow3! I played around with Act Learn and I can see how it would work. Still having a little trouble getting Act to Recognize properly these push encoders on my BCR2000. It see's them as the same function thats assigned to the the associated rotary encoder. To be honest I'm not sure how far I'm going to go with this stuff as I find Studio One V3 much easier in this area. Have you tried S1? I'm sure talk like this will not be popular around here, Lol</p> <p>Anyway Thanks Again!</p> <p>Brian</p>

I barely have time for one DAW. It almost does what I need from it, especially with my own addition(s). I would like to see some features from Ableton and BIAB, as well as some unusual feature not existing anywhere. But nothing is perfect.
 
Many users here which are more studio tasks dedicated are using several DAWs. In fact any constructive discussions on topic are tolerated on this forum.
 
For BCR2000 you can try this: http://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,301.0.html (see the documentation in the second post). That is most complex and features reach preset ever created for Sonar.
 
Note yet another approach for plug-in mapping is mentioned in the PDF. You can choose yourself which one you prefer (MarKo ACT Editor or AZ ACT Fix) but note they are mutual exclusive.
