    Have you set up the pcr in preferences/MIDI/ Devices and control surfaces ?? in devices check the boxes for your input/output pcr drivers. In control surfaces if it is not already set up click on the "add new controller/surface" tab (the little tab with the yellow star next to the red "X" for deleting control surface). From the dialog box that comes up, click n the drop down list, choose "edirol pcr 300" for the input port choose "pcr 2", and output port choose "pcr". By clicking the dynamic mapping button on the pcr will bring up the act properties page where knobs and slider on the pcr will automatically be assigned to faders and knobs in sonar. Or even by hitting the act learn tab in sonar, moving a parameter in sonar, then moving a fader, knob on the pcr, when you click off the act learn button, a dialog box will ask whether you want to keep the assignments, just hit yer and you can map what ever you want to control in sonar.

    "By clicking the dynamic mapping button on the pcr...." tried this it doesn't work the knobs and faders show what they are supposed to do but the buttons themselves will not work,
    "Or even by hitting the act learn tab in sonar, moving a parameter in sonar, then moving a fader, knob on the pcr, when you click off the act learn button, a dialog box will ask whether you want to keep the assignments, just hit yer and you can map what ever you want to control in sonar."     I was hoping that I would not have to do this for every button. ?? it should work but I'm stuck.
    Thanks

    Well I found the problem I needed to reboot system and I set it up as suggested and all is working fine I also had to discontinue using my old PCI card an E-MU 0404 as it was causing conflicts, so I replaced it with a Roland quad capture and am very pleased with the out come, all is working A-1. Thanks Guys!

    what sw plugin are you using? did you accept the default mappings from the provided control surface map or did you try to remap anything.
     
    I am trying use the PCR-500 with SONAR X3d and the native instruments vintage organ plugin via kontakt. I can't seem to get the drawbars in the same order as the sliders on the PCR. Has anyone seen or solved this issue?
     
    Thanks in advance..
