The Mackie Control Help file is in the shared surfaces dir. of Sonar. There is a section on the C4.
Use the following procedures to set up Mackie Control C4 with SONAR.
To Connect the Mackie Control C4 to SONAR
To configure the Mackie Control C4 in SONAR, follow the steps below:
Before you turn on the Mackie Control C4, connect MIDI cables from its MIDI OUT port to your MIDI interface's MIDI IN port, and from its MIDI IN port to your MIDI interface's MIDI OUT port.
Turn on the Mackie Control C4.
Launch SONAR.
Use the Options-Control Surfaces command to open the Control Surfaces dialog.
Click the Add new Control Surface button, which opens the Control Surfaces Settings dialog.
In the Control Surface field, use the drop-down menu to select the Mackie Control C4 option.
In the Input Port field, select the MIDI port that you want the Mackie Control C4 to send data to SONAR through.
In the Output Port field, select the MIDI port that you want the Mackie Control C4 to receive data from SONAR through.
Click OK--the Mackie Control C4 name appears in the Control Surfaces dialog under Connected Surfaces.
Click Close.
The Mackie Control C4 should now display settings for the current SONAR project. Move some of the Mackie Control C4 knobs and watch the corresponding SONAR settings change. If the settings don't change, try disconnecting the Mackie Control C4 and then reconnecting: see below.
To Disconnect the Mackie Control from SONAR
Use the Options-Control Surfaces command to open the Control Surfaces dialog.
In the Control Surface column, select Mackie Control C4 so that it is highlighted.
Click the Delete button.
Click Close.
SONAR disconnects the Mackie Control.
