The biggest problem I have had is selecting tracks.
 
I would love to be able to select track 1, 5.6.7,8.9.10 +14
But the WAI strip only allows me to select straight 1-8 or 3-10 or 8 thru 24, exc, exc.
 
Any way to do this using your DLL or AzSlow's ?

The ACT code is pretty involved, so it not clear to me whether this reponsibility is with Sonar or with the DLL.
 
From what I can see the code is designed to work with a contiguous banks of 8 tracks.

Thanks

sweet!

That's a great point Mark. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.
The contiguous banks of 8 has always been a pain in the azz for me. I would love to figure out a way to mix different tracks.
I will gladly use your MCU plug in. Thank you very much.

@chuckebaby. Technically possible to implement. Sonar ACT (as API) has "locking" physical strip to current, so future WAI movements not affect it. That was "hacked in" for VS700.
But taking Sonar future into account, I am not going to advance my Mackie version. Planed new Mackie preset for AZ Controller is also frozen
 
@msmcleaod. MackieControl2 was to allow 2 completely independent chains of MCU+XT to be used in Sonar (so controlling different WAIs, plug-ins, etc).
 
I had no real Mackie unit. TouchDAW emulator is not selecting channel on fader movement (without "Select on touch" option). Is your code on github?

I've just given it a go with TouchDAW, and it's behaving as expected for me.
 
The only options I've got selected are:

• Select highlights track
• Double-click to select

So this means:

• Moving or touching faders doesn't change the selected track
• Double-clicking the "select" button (or Edit button as TouchDAW calls it) changes the selected track

... which is exactly the behaviour I wanted.
 
I didn't bother putting anything on github, as the code changes were pretty small and I was hoping the bakers would just incorporate it into their master - I just emailed them the code changes.
 
All my code does is "swallow" the first track select message. If it receives an identical track select message, it reacts to it, otherwise it throws it away.
 
This has the effect of ignoring the automatic track select sent by the controller when touching or moving a fader, but clicking the select button twice gets through.
 
Mark.

For me, TouchDAW is not sending "select" on fader movement (there is a special option to do this of "double-click", inside TouchDAW). And I have not seen that in Logic Control documentation. So it looks for me as "normal" behavior without any mods on the software side (it is possible move several faders in parallel, if each movement try to select another strip, I guess the forum could be filled with related bugs, also for other DAW because that comes from hardware).
That is why I wonder which device does that? Original Mackie or some clone?

I put a MIDI monitor on my Mackie Control Universal. It was definitely sending out a track select everytime a fader was moved. My Korg Nano Kontrol and Nano Kontrol Studio do the same.
 
If TouchDAW has an option to do this internally, that's great - there's no need for my mod with that option.
 

Thanks, Mark.

Do you mean you see 5 MIDI messages every time you move fader on Nano Kontrol:
(Note: touch on, Note: select pressed, Note: select released, PitchBend: value, Note: touch released) ?
I can not find any information in the Internet about the topic, except for Logic Control.
Good to know.
