I am glad to know that the A-Pro controllers are not up to par. I've been thinking of buying one.
 
A-Pro's controllers themselves (and the key action) are very good. The problem is the control surface plugin and ACT.

Thanks. That is the reason I was considering one. I have three keyboard midi controllers but the CS aspect (knobs and sliders) with the keys... controlling Sonar and plugs interested me. If I bought a Roland A-Pro controller, I would expect everything to work well with Sonar. I don't have money to waste so I am going to wait and see where things go. Thanks again...

Nope. Thought I should first gather support from TONS of A-Pro users, which obviously failed. 

Well one more A-Pro user here who thinks your submissions are appropriate!  Whilst I mainly use my A-PRO as a Midi Keyboard, being able to do the things you suggest would be icing on the cake IMHO.

Excellent points. My story runs along the lines of sharke's and LordElpus' statements. Let's see what comes of your requests. I'm rooting for ya! Cheers from SF!

The touch screen is an Acer 23" mounted at an angle using a Vesa mount

Well, touchscreen isn't good from the ergonomic point of view  So Cake, for the health of Sonar users, please put more energy into hardware controllers

 Yes it is

What screen are you using for a controller Joe? Is it just laying flat or do you have it on some sort of mount or what? Interested...

I have an A-800 Pro which I bought primarily because I liked the feel of the keys (and also the idea of using a Roland controller with Sonar). To be honest I did like the idea of using it as a control surface when I bought it, but as it happens I've been too lazy to learn how to set it up, and judging by your post I don't think I'll bother now 

HaHa--Same here Sharke!!
I received mine a few days ago set some of it up, but since have forgotten everthing I had Done...Back at sqaere one.
 
I'm on board Jlien X--
One would think that a Rolande Product would work flawlessly with thier own software.
