Werner, do you really mean that two year old beta app?

Yup! As far as I know it was never updated, but it's working well here. Try it if you don't want to go the USB route.

Werner, do you really mean that two year old beta app? That was all I found, so I dare to start learning with it. It just made me a bit suspicious, 'cause the whole ACT system isn't much older, so I expected to find something more up to date.

I've downloaded a variety of files and checked out the forum at CME and its a little helpful. I have a UF 8 and still trying to get it to work. I have the 8 sliders and 1 bank of buttons working as well as the transport controls which is good.

from what I understand you have to use the MIDI over USB to get it all to work properly. At least that's been my experience.

Thank You! I suppose you mean the manufacturer's website (China). Or are there some western importers sites as well? Visiting there some months ago I found it very limited
and offering next to nothing. But perhaps I was there on the wrong day (updates in progress or something?) Or I just didn't look closely enough.
I'll go Googling.

can anyone send me a PDF of the instruction manual for this? (editor and board) the website won't enable me to DL it

Thanks

connected with a midi-cable

You need to either connect via USB (which I'd not recommend) or use CME's UF editor app (free download from their site), so the transport buttons send out CC messages that ACT will understand. If you're not familiar with the UF editor: it will also install a virtual MIDI ports called "UF SIMU IN" (this is the one you need to select in Sonar) and "UF SIMU OUT" (select this in UF editor setup as out-port and your EMU as in-port). Don't forget to click "start". HTH

I'm very lost with this. Reading the Sonar 6PE help-file doesn't get me there (somehow I can't figure out what they're saying) nor does trial/error.

I'm trying to set CME UF6-controller's (normal midi-keyboard with 8 slides, 8 knobs and
6 buttons) buttons, witch are marked to be used as "To Start/RW/FW/Rec/Stop/Play"
to be used through ACT as remote control.

The controller is connected with a midi-cable (EMU 1820), not USB. CME's manual says
SysX is needed to complete the setting, but I can't make any sense of Sonar's instructions
on using the method. I've played around in ACT Plug-in with no results. Is there a video
somewhere about this particular process?

These transport buttons can't be configured through normal midi-learn, I guess.

Wobbling on the outer borders of your understanding using a foreign language can sometimes be quite hard :o/

OT: I noticed in another post that you get Sonar even in Spanish. Wow. I think the only
sequencer-application found in Finnish is Garage Band. I think it's about the same in whole Scandinavia. Almost as a rule, the only applications you get in your own language are the OS's and major office and photo-applications with a wide user base. Sometimes you pay nearly double price for the Finnish version. That goes with games as well. I remember some eighteen years ago when my then 9 year old son phoned me during a working day. My colleagues around me we're all O's (describing amazement) listening to me trying to interpret my son through a brain surgery he was performing in a PC-game. Much did I know about aneurysmas and such, but my friends were impressed!
