Hello to you all! Im a noob to the controlor mapping deal...recently i bought a PCR 300 controler and i want to use it with Albleton Live 8 and the Cakwwalk software pack the came with the midi controler, but i cant manage to get working. Could somebody help me? It could be with a control map preset ready to use or some kind of tutorial. All the best!

you don't need a control map to use it in ableton or sonar. 

do you have a softsynth set up in either program?  you have to have a synth of some kind to control with the PCR800 since it's not a keyboard/synth, it's a controller only.

  Hi Beagle! Thanks for your reply! I use the controler with Ableton Live, with Vst plugins...and i want to be able to assign the knobs to do several options...Ex: In Rob Pappens Predator VST plug in , assign one knob to control the volume, another for the waveform and so on...now when i try to set the knobs to control diferent aspects, i only get them to work for the first aspect assigned... Does this make any sense to you? Sorry but im new to all this... All the best!

AH!  I misunderstood.  sorry.

I don't know what you need for a control surface map for abelton.  in sonar you could just use ACT to map the MIDI controls.
