There is a new, more flexible and better conceived, alternative to FaderPort's default plugin that now resides as a custom preset inside AZ Controller.  Details are below:
 
Changes/Improvements

Simple 1-step installer handles both 32 and 64bit.  No more command-line regedit hack for each version.

Bus focus and WAI now follows device and device follows selected bus without a single mouse click.

Selecting Bus mode opens Sonar’s Bus pane and closes it when going back to Track mode (optional setting)

Pan can now act as jog/shuttle wheel (using ‘Shift’ key)

ACT "Quick dial"

Hi/Low resolution for encoder (Pan and ACT)

Enable Loop and set In/Out points to timeline selection in a single button press

Better assignment of user-defined buttons, including ProChannel and MultiDock toggling

If you don’t like any of the new features, you can change them to whatever you want!

Background
I really like the FaderPort but found some of its default capabilities lacking compared to what it could be.  My main beef was that when you switch the FaderPort from Track to Bus mode, Sonar doesn’t follow the WAI and the FaderPort doesn’t follow Sonar’s selected bus.  Using the mouse, you have to change Sonar’s focus from Track to Bus, click the Bus you want to edit, then move the WAI to the selected bus using two clicks (one right, one left).  I found this really inefficient, especially since I use a lot of buses and switch between track and bus focus constantly.  In addition, the user-defined buttons were pretty useless for me. I couldn’t find anything I wanted on the available list and actually just left two of them unassigned.  Not a big deal, but not all it could be in my opinion.
 
Now, with the new FaderPort preset inside the AZ Controller, Sonar and the FaderPort are in perfect sync--for both Track and Bus panes. You can even choose to toggle Sonar’s Bus pane when the FaderPort switches into/out of Bus mode.  Add in jog/shuttle capability and better choices for the user buttons, like toggling the ProChannel/MultiDock views and a pretty good control surface is now pretty awesome!
 
The best part is that AZ Controller is designed to be customized so you can tweak it to do whatever you want…and it’s free.

AlphaTrack Preset Coming Soon!
As many AlphaTrack users know, Sonar X1 (and subsequent versions) broke some of the functionality of the AlphaTrack, specifically in the EQ section, with no fix in sight.  Azslow3, creator of the AZ Controller, will be designing a new preset to address the broken functionality.  Stay tuned.

I am one of I think many AlphaTrack owners who would be very interested in Azslow3's AZ Cpntroller preset for that unit. Many thanks to Azslow3 for all his work.

Hey cool, I have an AlphaTrack - it works OK for what it does, but yes the EQ section is a wash at the moment, as is the plug-in section (which never really worked all that well anyway but could conceivably be made to do something with ACT, especially in the context of the wonderful AZ controller plugin - I have been working on a template for my old Kore controller, using its MCU emulation as a springboard, and it works amazingly well.

This is great!!

azSLOW is installed
I find it in sonar
the faderport is connected
the faderport is enabled in MIDI
 
So, how do I load the faderport preset?
 

• Install AZ Controller plug-in first (download the latest test version).
• Configure Faderport MIDI Input/Output in SONAR as described in its documentation.
• Insert AZ Controller in the "Control Surfaces" section of SONAR preferences and attach Faderport MIDI Input/Output to it. It is good idea to detach it from other plug-ins, in case you have already used it with sonar.
• Open AZ Controller configuration dialog
• Switch to the "Options" Tab and in the "Tweak current configuration..." drop box select "Faderport".

 
"Faderport" is not listed.
 
I have restarted Sonar.

+1 Another Alpha Track owner here. Thanks to Azslow3 here as well.

Hmmm...I wonder if you downloaded the main release and not the test version--I'm not sure that one has been updated yet with the Faderport preset.  At the bottom right of the AZ Controller window it should read 0.3r6b185.  In case you got the wrong version, below is the direct link.  I just downloaded and tested it myself:
http://www.azslow.com/ind...nloads;sa=view;down=25

I downloaded 179 from the releases link.
 
I will now download 185.
 

Now I can select FP, and save the preset
 
But the FP is not working.
 
Unfortunately it is nearly midnight here.
