Silly me, I am NOT hopeful, but at least I can return it to Amazon. (I just ordered a nanoKontrol Studio, since Korg says it will work with Sonar Even then, Korg says the markers don't work with their template. Or, f'chrissake, bite the bullet and produce one that works. NOTHING I have tried with Mackie templates have worked - if I set ACT to VS-100, sometimes they will work a little, but inconsistenly.) WTF? Why can't Sonar get it together and provide user libraries (at least) for ACT templates, and provide templates for up to date controllers rather than the tired old outdated controllers now in the ACT list.
I am convinced Sonar's Mackie ACT template is seriously broken (the Mackie template for my NI equipment works perfectly implemented as Mackie control surface in Ableton Live, independently of the template they provide- which is also flawless. ACT seems absolutely worthless, since it involves programming every interface one uses painfully. I wrote my original post a long time ago (I am now on Win10 pro, 圆4), and nothing seems to have changed. You can also click on it and use the mouse wheel. I used Sonar for several months until I realized that you didn't have to click on a control and move the mouse up or down to move the control. I thought I would like all the faders and control knobs, but found it was easier to use the mouse or on occasion the fader on the 100. I bought the Impulse before I could build my home studio since it was cheap (<$200), light and I could use it my office temporarily to enter midi stuff. I have both a Sonar V-Studio 100 and a Novation Impulse. I end up using the mouse or entering the exact value with the keyboard more than I do with a control surface. Modern mixes rely a LOT on automation (which IS nice to program, at least the initial "curve", with a control surface) and extreme precision.
Honestly I don't think actual mixing is in the end very useful to do with a control surface. I'll start a more specific post and see if we can get some more attention for this. Someone recommended it for the Behringer X32, which apparently also doesn't work with Sonar via Mackie Control (I can verify it works fine with Logic 9 via Mackie protocol, as I used it yesterday). I haven't tested everything yet but you seem to get at least basic transport and navigation control and probably more. A half work-around I've found is that it kinda works if you select the VS-700 protocol instead. It would be great if this could be fixed, since apparently Maschine Mackie protocol works fine in other DAWs. It seems Sonar is looking for some kind of handshake that's not happening or something. After googling some, it turns out this happens with some other devices too, but nobody I saw got Maschine to work.
I just tried it with Sonar and you're right - it doesn't work. See routing MIDI for details.Huh, funny, I had never realized Maschine even had a Mackie Control template. You can also redirect MIDI output to a MIDI Out Device or even record MIDI events to a MIDI file with a built-in MIDI recorder. You may also need to tune Recognition Parameters to achieve the best results.
Starting playback automatically starts recognition process. Connect WIDI VST MIDI Output port synthesizer's MIDI input port.ĭouble-click on the Audio File Player and then load audio file you are going to recognize.ĭouble-click at WIDI Audio To MIDI VST to show up the WIDI VST Plugin window.
