If you have not already, read (toward the end of) https://discuss.cakewalk.com/topic/93843-psa-windows-midi-services-compatibility-issue-via-pete-brown-microsoft/ discussion. Microsoft has changed the concept of MIDI handling and that is not transparent...

On top of that, there was situations (at least in the past) when Sonar was displaying wrong names for MIDI ports. After clarifying Windows 11 + MIDI, try to cleanup Sonar MIDI configuration (removing TTSSEQ.INI, discussed many times on Cakewalk forum).

Hello! My AZControler doesn't work anymore, because my "Komplete Kontrol M" device disapeared. I can only see and select the  "Komplete Kontrol M32 MIDI" device in the MIDI device list. Can you help me? This occured because i also have a kork taktile controler, and with recent windows update, the Korg driver disfunctioned and i had to desinstalled it... i'm affraid a part of the driver fir the komplete kontrol was by mistake desinstalled in the operation.

[edit]: i could have my  "Komplete Kontrol M DAW IN and out" device back (reinstalling BMIDI driver), so i can assign them tor AZcontroler, but it still doesn't work. any Idea?

Hello all and Alexey!
Are you planning to build SIBIAC for new NVDA X64? currently only non-working with new architecture stops me to migrate on.

DISCLAIMER: created from the information in the Internet, I don't have the device (and never had it). For the moment no one has reported if that works or not (partially or completely). Don't hesitate to be the first reporter 

Attached AZ Controller preset is for Korg nanoKONTROL2, in CC mode. You need to apply MIDI mapping using Korg Kontrol Editor. I attach preset for it as well, it is default one, with "LED Mode: External" set.


Functionality:

"Cycle button" is a "Shift" when "Track</>" or "<</>>" buttons are pressed when you still hold it. When used alone, it switch Loop.

"Track</>":
With Shift (Cycle) pressed: switch mode to control tracks (<) or buses (>).
Without Shift in Strips mode: move WAI in strips pain
Without Shift in ACT mode: switch ACT banks

"<</>>":
With Shift (Cycle) pressed: switch mode to ACT (<<), toggle AZ Controller display (>>)
Without Shift: rewind and fast forward (while pressed)

Marker controls: what is written on device. Note that "Set" is just (computer) keyboard shortcut 'M'. It will work as desired when Sonar is focused.

Transport controls: usual (stop, play/pause, record)

Strip controls:
Stips mode (Tracks/Buses): volume, pan, solo, mute, record
ACT mode: knobs are ACT knobs, faders are ACT faders and buttons are ACT buttons. Please consider to use "AZ ACT Fix" utility if you don't want be frustrated with "ACT Dynamic mapping"

LEDs: strip buttons and transport buttons should work (indicate current Sonar value for corresponding state/parameter)


Status in Sonar ACT Module: indicate current mode and bank (in ACT mode)

AZ Controller display (Cycle+>>) show current assignment and values (especially useful in ACT mode).


Useful easy tweaks:
You can change font/color/length of AZ Controller Display in the Options section.

You can change the behavior of knobs and faders in fEncSet and fFaderSet Logical controls. By default, both are "Catch linear". AZ Controller has several other options.

In particular, buttons are Solo, till you use "Ctrl" (leftmost in the lower row). The fader control WAI Bus.
I have mentioned before you can change that to match your wishes.

heard.  thanks!

aaaahhhhh, ok, i have XTouch_Mini_0p9.spp.  it's installed but have some odd behavior.  When "Layer A" is active the buttons work as Solo buttons instead of Mute.  Is that the expected result?  The knobs do indeed control the volume which is GREAT.  The transport buttons for Play and Stop work.  The Master Fader does nothing.

Progress, progress, progress!
thanks!

Most presets have to be downloaded separately, they are attachments to the first posts in corresponding threads (.spp files, link just after post, right before "Downloaded N times").

Firstly, thank you for the quick response!

i accept my ignorance and am fine with RTFM if said FM is pointed out

It also demonstrates more or less efficient way to create presets for AZ Controller.

i tried to download the latest version yesterday but windows Defender did not care for it so i went back a version to 0.5r11 b425 and it installed fine. 

when in "Utilities> AZ Controller" i do not see any presets.  although i do see AZ Controller in "Utilities>Plug-in Manager", it has no presets to manage, and if i navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\AZController" there is no appropriate file for it to import.  I didn't see any extra files in the details of the installer either.  Do i need to grab the preset from somewhere else?

THANK YOU!
