What are the chances that AZ Controller will work with this free Sonar?

I've been running Sonar with AZ Controller since the new Sonar was introduced.  No major issues.

Some people are using it with new Sonar for a while. And since I can save projects in new Sonar now (I had no intention to pay subscription), I can fix bugs, when spotted. So everything is fine

Hi Robert,

Good to know you have managed to implement working logic. But yes, there is always something to "add" or "change" in any project, that is why in pro world there are managers which at some point say "stop, we produce it as it is now" 

Alexey.

Thank you for feedback. With REAPER 6 that was a workaround, b72 supposed to work in REAPER 7.

All currently implemented features supposed to work with converting from REAPER 7 (it has take lanes implementation "compatible" with Cakewalk approach, in addition to item take lanes which was before and was less useful...)

Yes All are working. AWESOME Job Thank you. I will definitely send future donation if it is asked for I haven't been looking around the site but will. So going forward all Updates to reaper 7 will not affect?
I think you mentioned I needed reaper 6 to start and then reaper 7 would read 6...so the modified file will be read by all future reaper versions now?
Also didnt know anything about reaper 6 or having different lanes...so the Lanes are compatible with this modification to reacwp?

Thanks for version 72b, Haven't tried anything yet since my last reply as I had gotten busy and forgotten.
The plugins I used were UAD 1176 and other UAD PLUGINS, WAVES VEQ3, VCOMP and others. It seemed like it didnt matter what plugin manufacturer I used none had worked PROPERLY. It may have been REAPER 7 for me I didnt know I needed to be using a 6 version. will report back. Thanks

Hi Alexey

I studied your post #12 again and now I understand it properly.
I implemented based on your scheme and it works completely.

I use the 'Project' 'open' to send a single Hello CC message to the PICs.
When the project is closed then I send a single 'goodbye' message which sets the PICs in their standby mode.

What does all this do in practice?

- The two AZ instances output no 'normal' CC and SysEx feedback messages to the PICs when Sonar is loaded but no project is opened.  This stops the PICs from being flooded with unnecessary information.

- Only one PIC is active at anyone one time, so the inactive PIC receives no 'normal' CC and SysEx messages when inactive.  Again this means the PIC does not have to deal with a lot of unwanted messages.

- When the project is closed, both PICs are set into inactive state.  Sonar and the tape machines receive shut down information; e.g. REC ARMs are all turned off.  Solo's are all turned off etc.

- The start up process i.e.
Load Sonar
Load project
Make one mode (RECORD or REPLAY) active is now properly controlled.

Thanks so much for all your help with this handshaking project.  It is really great to have it working so well.  I might be getting to the end of this big project -> Just kidding!  There is always another improvement to make -> but not today!

Best regards
Robert

Thanks Alexey

I need to spend some time studying all you have said so I can really understand all points.

I'll get back to you when I have made some progress.

Well, if you introduce "Project" Set, as I have explained in my post #12, it will be relatively simple.
The only point from your last attempts - do not condition State Monitors, condition what they do when triggered.
