Goal
Control buses using Mackie XT (Pro) unit, independent from other Mackie units working under Sonar standard Mackie Control plug-in.
Installation
- Install AZ Controller and attached preset using these instructions: http://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,6.0.html Note: use AZ Controller version (http://www.azslow.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=28)
- In Sonar Preferences/MIDI/Control surfaces add AZ Controller pointing to XT input and output. Remove "Mackie XT" pointed to the same unit, in case you have used it usual way
- In Utilities / "AZ Controller - 1" select "MXT-Bus" in the top left presets box
Functionality
That is untested alpha preset. I do not have XT nor any emulation of it to test that it really works. With current definitions, it should:
For 8 buses indicated by WAI (the region can be moved by mouse in Sonar, corresponding controls are not yet defined on XT):
- fader control volumes (touch sensitive, with motor feedback)
- encoders control pan (with ring feedback)
- mute and solo buttons control corresponding functions (with LED feedback)
Other controls and display are not defined yet.
Interesting, would this work with a BCF in Mackie mode? I have MCU pro and BCR connected already

When BCF imitate XT correctly, then yes, it should work as is. Some modifications can be required otherwise.
