almeister deserves credit for the idea and testing, I was just "clicking on screen"
 
If you are looking for a good, small, cheap and completely integrated with Sonar controller, there is one!
Instructions and downloads
 
* all major parameters for one strip (volume, pan, gain, mute, solo, echo, etc.) are directly accessible, no values "jumping" or "catching" (thanks to encoders) and everything with actual status (LEDs and rings)
* jogging, zooming and quick strip focusing are also there, without pressing the "next track" button 10 times, accurate mouse gestures to find measure and keeping one hand over computer keyboard for shortcuts
* set or move to loop and punch points without moving the hand away from the transport
* quick adjust up to 4 sends, with direct access and indication for all related parameters
* One strip is nice, but in case you want quick balance several strips, you are only one button press away from the multi-strip mode. And I use the word "strip" because both modes are working for tacks and buses.
* if you also use mouse or computer keyboard, MINI will follow current focus, the device and the Track Inspector in Sonar will stay in sync!
* do you have plug-ins? No problem for MINI! You can adjust up to 16 continuous and 16 switches in any plug-in, including FX Bin, Soft.Synth and ProChannel modules. And do not worry, with a bit of patience, Dynamic Plug-in Parameters Mapping is working not worse then solutions from other companies.
* do you want adjust something "just a little bit"? You can! Encoders provide 2 different resolutions for continuous parameters.
* so many parameters and just several hardware controls... No, you do not need to remember everything! Build-in display can show you current layout. And you can "tune" that window for your taste (size, font, colors and position).
* everything is optimized for one or two hands operations.
* do you hate the last take? Press Record again and redo it quick. Stop-Undo-Record is there.
* 3 command buttons are already configured for 6 common functions like undo and multi-dock.
 
If something you like to do from the controller is not in the list, there is one unassigned push-encoder (in the single strip layer). Your ideas are welcome!
 
Disclaimer: I am not working for Behringer. I do not even have the device. This "advertisement" serve only one purpose, help you to enjoy making music with Sonar

Thanks for this -  I haven't taken time to hook mine up yet, looking forward to trying this out.

Looks really good, i'm seriously considering getting one of these.....
I'm guessing the fader on the midi isn't motorized? 
Don't think this is a deal breaker for me, I think the multi strip view will be what i'm looking for most...
 
Any recommendations on where to buy in UK? Gear4Music looks like they  are cheapest at the moment....

The fader is "simple".
 
Multi-strip layer on MINI is limited by the number of controls. If you really need multi-strip operations for something more then quick volume/pan adjustment, Compact and Big X-Touchs are much more comfortable (but there is no AZ Controller presets for them yet, I mean these "big brothers" for the moment have less functionality in Sonar then Mini...).

Thanks, sounds like a great solution....
I don't have the budget or space for a larger device, so I think this looks like a good option for me.

I have bought from Gear4Music before ((my old Lexicon IO42), shipping to Norway included, as the cheapest I could find anywhere as one of them), and I had no issues dealing with them.
Just wanted to give a positive feedback, as perhaps a reassurance before using them.
All the best.
 

If anyone in US is thinking about grabbing one, Sweetwater  has them for $49.99

Cudo's to  azslow3 and almeisterfor doing this for the SONAR community!
Great work 
 
PS. 
I was just checking it (for fun), to see what it would cost me to ship it to Norway.
Between 67, and 83 $..
I might have to get it elsewhere. Great price, though 
 
 

Thanks for the feedback - yes always frustrating looking at US prices for most of these devices....
None of the UK retailers seem to have it in stock - has this been 'released' in the UK yet?

In Germany they used to be €59, but €69 now...
