I had looked at the Qcon but since it didn't mention Sonar, I decided not to buy it.  I need a new control surface to replace my flakey BCF2000.  I'm going to hold off for a Behringer X-Touch which is due sometime this winter.

The X-touch looks good but because SONAR does not allow remapping of behavior, you will be stuck with whatever functionality Behringer decides to give.  Like the QCON, its not exactly a MCU, so their button implementation may not work well in Sonar.  I also really like the xtouch, but have to wait and see how well it works. 

This is what I find on the XTouch
 

Supports HUI and Mackie Control protocols  for seamless integration with every compatible music production software
 
 

All,
 
Sorry I wasn't really around for a while.
 
Actually I was coding it over my QCon but can really work on other MCU Emulation as you can easily remap the butons. I know that this is not super user friendly but it takook time to get there already and unfrotunately I still prefer making music than coding in the end :)
 
In regards to the PAN led issue I have to admit that I haven't been able to really understand why it was not working as I haven't really changed any of the core functionality of the original Cakewalk source. What I have found though is that using PAN Display as boost with Use PAN Center checked was giving me a pretty good sense of the PAN for the QCon (can't really test how it behaves on other units).
 
See the below attached screens that reflect my current settings:
 
Standard panel:

 
Advanced panel: (All 222 means that they are not mapped; I picked a random high unused midi note value)

 
 
@RogerH, I have been using it so far with quite a success over some songs. I haven't bee able to complain...
 
If you have found any specifc bug I'll try to fix at no guaranteed pace ;)
 
Thanks all,
Stéphane

Hello, sorry about my bad english but I'm from La Argentina and my language is spanish.
I pre-order a Qcon Pro X in order to try to use it with Cakewalk Sonar... it will come in November...
 
Sdupayage: Thanks a lot for the plug in. I will tryit and I'll let you all know what happened.
 
I have this question for you or any who knows the answer:
I don't understand how the files in the zip must be installed in Sonar... 
I see a lot of files, but I don't know where in Sonar must be copied.
Can any one helpme?
 
Thank you in advance, regards.

You should install only ONE (!) file from these archive. The file is different for 32 or 64 bit Sonar. For 32bit, take "Release/MackieControl.dll". For 64bit, take "x64/Release/MackieControl.dll".
 
Now where to copy... The simplest way is to search for MackieControl.dll on your computer.
* if you find it at one place only, make a backup copy of it and replace it with moded file (from the archive)
* if you find it at several places, you probably have 32 AND 64 versions of Sonar. Which location to choose is possible to see in the path to the file. If you see "x86" in some part, that is 32bit version
* if you do not found that file, search for "ACTController.dll" and place MackieControl.dll into that folder.

Great, thank you.
 
I thought that the other files (KeyBinding.cpp, keyBinding.h, MackieControl.aps, MackieControl.clw, and so on) should be installed somewhere...
but I only must copy and replace the X64/MackieControl.dll, isn't? (I have 64 bit)
 
Thansk a lot, I will publish the test in a month when de Qcon Pro X arrives... 
Cheers

isn't the Mackie Control already shipped with Sonar ?
I use MCU (a Mackie control surface) and I didn't need to install anything if I remember correctly.

Exactly!

QCon Pro does not emulate Mackie correctly (they could not find the documentation...). sdupayage has modified MackieControl plug-in to make it work with that device.

oh I got ya. thanks for the explanation

Hi folks!
Yesterday the Qcon Pro X arrives.
Well, I'm going to share my experience with all of you.
 
First, nothing happens. The mackie option in Cakewalk SONAR didn't work out of the box as expected.
 
Then, I tried several things like replacing the MackieControl made by Sdupayage or trying to understand how to make it work with AZslow3 Control... but nothing happens (may be I was doing something wrong... is very possible...)
 
My last attempt was to upgrade the firmware of the Qcon Pro X.
It came with the version 1.06 and I upgrade it to 1.07 (I don't like to do these upgrades beacuse the hardware can be ruined if you do it wrong or something happen...)
But... THEN IT WORKS GREAT!!

Sonar could make it work with the standard Mackie protocol!!!
Every seems to work well, except the Meter bridge and SMPTE Lcd display... :(
The rest works great like the label names in the display, moving faders, Jog shuttle wheel, Star, stop, solo, mute and so on...
The strange thing was: triyng in Adobe Premiere, everything works including the metter bridge!! (but not the SMPTE display).
 
Conclusion: If you have this devie, you shold do the upgrade... it worth it... Version 1.06 doesn't work with Mackie Control, but 1.07 does.
If anyone can help me making work the metter bridge and SMPTE LCD display, please do it!!
Thank you to everyone, regards from La Argentina.
