Great Bill!   I imagine it would be a daunting task starting from scratch without a template. Loopbe30 is very handy.  I have been using it to run DMXIS programs and to sync Traktor to Ableton live for a while now.  A great little program that just works. I haven't quite used all 30 midi connections yet though:) 

Say what? Another theatre guy? We'll need to swap tales... and a DMXIS user to boot?

Haha -  not exclusively theatre.  More often a rock cabaret show kinda guy,  but a pretty big dmx user:).  Have you checked out DMXIS?  It's a DMX controller that you can insert as a vst plugin with a small USB breakout box. Simple but pretty cool. 
 
Indeed we will swap stories! 
 
BTW I spent a few hours updating the Sonar Lemur template today.  A couple of the buttons no longer functioned in the new Sonar,  several needed relabelling,  and I have made the layout a little easier to read.  If you are interested let me know the type and resolution of the tablet you are using (shown when you push the cog in the right corner of the lamur screen) and I'l send you a copy when it's done.

I'd like one, thanks! Using iPad. I'll pm you my mail address.

Thanks sooo much for all of this information... While I'm sending all descretionary dimes to Bernie right now, this has just jumped up to the top of my "GET!" list.  I've watched a lot of folks over at V.I. Control wanking on their lemurs for orchestrations but... it would be nice to get for sonar...
 
Templates... if anyone comes up with additional cool sonar temps, can we send um in to Lemur so we can compete more with the billion Abletons?

For anyone interested in trying Lemur as a remote for Sonar.
All I have done is adapt the original free Lemackie2 ipad template from the Lemar library to use on a smartphone (Galaxy s5, but you can easily resize it to suit) with just the functions that are useful for tracking. Whoever designed the original template has done all of the hard work.  The larger template is pretty much the same as the Lemur library template, but resized for the Samsung Galaxy TabS 10.5 with some non-functioning buttons removed and bit easier to read. A couple of screenshots
 Phone: (thanks to auto resizing that is one huge phone:)

The only issue I found with the large template is that the 'view' buttons will only access the parameters of the first module in the prochannel on any given track.  
 
Excellent instructions for setting Lemur up are in the Sonar Lemackie 2 Manual from the original templates.
 
I have put the templates and files on dropbox for anyone who wants them.

While with amazing customization in the interface, do not forget that Lemackie is using the very same Sonar side plug-in as MCU Pro, SSL Nucleus, X-Touch, TouchDaw, etc...
So you get the same features and the same problems.

I believe you Az because you know your stuff, but I have to say that the Lemur dameon has been faultless in connecting on both systems I am using it with. I had endless trouble with rtpmidi and touchdaw on the same rigs. Not sure why. I really like the Lemur editor as well. What we need is a genius like you to get amongst it. Az control meets Lemur:)

Haha - good to know you are supporting the cause Dana:) And that's quite an image you've painted there!
 
Lemur has certainly blown me away. I really hope some clever Sonarites get into it. It is especially accessible now that it is available for Android too.

I had Lemur set up perfectly, all running really well. Now I have encountered a problem that I don't know how to fix. Every time I press stop either in Sonar or on Lemur all the faders jump to the middle, kind of like a reset. Any ideas greatly welcome as obviously I cannot mix anything at the moment

Hi Numbhead.  Have you tried deleting and re-adding the mackie control preset for Lemur in Sonar control surface preferences? Just double check your midi i/O preferences for the MC preset, Lemur, and Lemur Dameon as well to make sure you don't have a midi feedback loop. It sounds as though the mackie control plugin is seeing midi reset data that it shouldn't, which makes me suspect the midi routing may have gone askew.
