A couple of things:
1. When I exit Sonar, the FP doesn't clear or reset. Whatever buttons are lit stay lit. In other words, no cleanup on exit.
I do not have "on exit" processing. Also I do not know either "clear" command exist for FP, but that can be implemented as "turn off all lights".
The real problem is that I already have some crashes during Sonar exist. I have no idea either they are AZCtrl related, but I had some crashes during startup/project loading till I have completely "silenced" AZCtrl till the project is indicated as loaded. So, while technically possible, I would prefer to avoid "on exit" actions to avoid possible stability problems.
As a work around, it is possible to reserve some key combination to turn of lights. That will need: "TurningOff" state with "No" as the default, set to "Yes" during that special key action, setting "TurningOff:No" condition for all Monitors which transfer lights, the list of MIDI sends to set off all lights (24 MIDI messages, in fact can be done with 2-3 "SysEx/MIDI" actions in MIDI mode). If you think that can be useful, I can make an example.
2. How the heck do I keep the bus window from opening in TV when I press [Output]? That's very annoying.
There are 2 methods to switch Bus<->Track. One is using Sonar "Command" (the same as for keyboard shortcut). It has "a bug", but it switch in all sonar versions and situations as expected. But it always open bus part in TV when switching to bus.
There is also special ACT call to change the focus. It does not open buses part in TV. But it was not always working, depending either console is open and may be some other conditions... I have just tested, and it works (may be I just forgot what was the bug, may be they have fixed that in some 2015-2016 version...). So, you can try to replace the actions in "Output" to the (complete list, the first 2 actions are unchanged):
* - State Monitor
* - Next Strip (loop)
* 'Strip:Bus' - Function, Focus Strip type, Buses
* 'Strip:Track' - Function, Focus Strip type, Tracks
One more thing - this is really great for the FP in Sonar! Thanks for your efforts
