Hi Az,
I think I fixed the fader issue in the Mix section. Test it out and see, I have attached the new preset to this post.
-----------------------------------------
I tested your new preset; first off, migod! you have done a
wonderfull first crack at the very complex mode of the ProChannel. What a
great start!!
Here are some observations:
I am not sure the mute/solo functions are necessary in any of the ProChannel modes (since one would assume the track would be enabled when making adjustments). The mute and solo could be set in the Mix section before entering the EQ sections, and the pads could be used for Compressor/EQ/Tube functions.
---------------------------------
I would suggest putting the EQ in a bank all by itself, and possibly the Compressor and Tube functions in the same (separate from EQ) bank if there is room for both with controls arranged logically (that way you can use the pads and rotors for each, and keep the faders and bottom row of rotors for track volume/pan for each module.
Maybe cycle through with clicks of the 5 pad... Mixer ->Prochannel (Compressor) -> Prochannel (Eq) -> Prochannel (Tube) -> Mixer
or if possible:
Mixer -> Prochannel (Compressor/Tube) -> Prochannel (Eq) -> Mixer
That is the order of the Prochannel Module, functionally it might be better to cycle:
Mixer -> Prochannel (Eq) -> Prochannel (Compressor/Tube) -> Mixer
(I dunno...
Maybe provide both in separate presets so user could decide on workflow ....
If it is not possible to arrange controls logically for Compressor and Tube in the same bank, then a separate one for each, always keeping the volume/pan functionality if possible.
I think separate banks are more important to have controls arranged logically, and Compression and Tube modules perform similar functions, so if logical order can be preserved in one bank, great, but if not, I would prefer a separate bank for each, even at the expense of lots of empty controls.....
===============================
Ok , here's what I notice:
=====================
Compressor Section (Uses faders; should use knobs)
Enable should be a pad)
Put Output in line with other controls if possible
Ratio - F7 should be rotor
Output F8 should be rotor
Dry/Wet F9 should be rotor
HP Slope is not coordinated in the Compresser section since it is R 29;
Missing Function
expand/contact (pad)
?

I think with this configuration, the UC33e will be a MONSTER controller for Sonar....
(it will be very difficult to find a used one on EBay...
These are just suggestions; you have done great work!
let me know what you think; I am just a tiny grasshopper....
