BCA Remote Control and AZC

[Astraios]

Unless you do it using FL Studio, as that makes it possible without any significant difficulties...
I imagine other DAWs, such as Reaper, Logic or Studio One, also allow for such a versatile setup; though I'm not familiar enough with those to say for sure.

What you have shown for FL Studio is not really versatile. Studio One also has assignments for simple surfaces, but "integrations" are proprietary (the same with Cubase). Ableton and Bitwig have integration APIs, not officially documented, but community documentation exist. REAPER has the deepest API, officially documented.

Note that all APIs are for programmers, C++ / Python. So they are not for "normal" end users. AZ Controller is an attempt to create something close in versatility to API, but usable without deep programming skills.

Sorry to say, but if you want continue with AZ Controller, you have to decide if you want "Global link" like behavior, specialized support for particular synths or both. And we have to understand what is not working in my test preset (if something is really not working there). Jumping between technologies and declarations "in that DAW it is like..." is not going to help on this road.

Okay, fine... I'm already quite unpopular on the Cakewalk forum and have been bullied there for years. I've had enough for now - I have plenty of other projects

C U then...

I have not noticed you are "unpopular" on Cakewalk forum. And you are not unpopular here.

I have just tried to return the discussion into topic, controlling a synth in Cakewalk using some external devices/software. You have uploaded a short video, which demonstrate that my example preset is at least partially working, but with the description it doesn't work. That part is important for me, since I usually try to understand why something doesn't work. But instead of spending several minutes to clarify that, you have switch to discussing about possibilities in other DAWs, reposting the documentation what encoders send, etc.

I have tried to explain how the approaches you have mentioned can be used in Sonar and proposed you choose what you want for our original topic, so we can advance in making something working. But you reply "I've had enough for now...".

AZController, TouchOSC, OpenStageControl, CtrLr, OSCBot and MIDI controllers are all designed to work with music. Touch Portal is not really. I understand why people want use hardware devices not specifically designed to control DAWs, like Stem Deck or Digital Mixers. But using questionable for the purpose software is, well, questionable...
If you in practice just want make fancy configuration with tools designed for something else, fine. Nothing wrong with that, I also do many things which make little sense, just because I like doing them 

But if you at some point back to the idea to control something in Sonar, convenient and stable way, you are welcome here.
