Hi guys.
I am running Sonar X2a (producer), and I have just bought a control surface:
It is my first control surface I have used, and I bought it for a few reasons:1) I believed I could use the 4 faders to control 4 tracks (only).
2) The knob configuration perfectly mirrors that of the EQ in the Prochannel's EQ module.
3) It has other buttons that I could easily configure to the main ones (like play).
THE ISSUES:1) When I load the default template (it doesn't have its own there), it always has
8 faders in it. I can only control 4 (obviously), and as it selects 8 tracks it would make
assigning a next-group-of-tracks button pointless. -
Because it would just skip over the 4 that don't have faders. Is there a way to delete the 4 non existent faders from the template?
2) I can NEVER get the shift function to work. Every time that I use midi assign on a button,
holding shift does absolutely nothing (it just does the main button function and ignores the
fact I am holding down shift). -
Admittedly I don't understand what the shift-learn button does (is that related)? 3) Not as important but am curious:
Is there any way to get a single fader working like the "channel strip mode" (for rotaries)?
I envisaged parking my hand on the control surface (on a single fader and knob), and selecting the track
I want to manipulate with the mouse. -
It seems there is no setting for the fader (only 1 knob). I kind of need to get the first 2 working quickly so I can get back to working.
Thanks in advance.
