Control Surfaces/ACT / Mackie D8b control surface
Last post by Nowell - April 19, 2026, 07:04:48 PM
Hi all.
I am wondering if anybody is using the Mackie D8b mixer as a control surface?
I know 8 channels at a time, I want to be able to see the 24 meters and mix in any DAW.
Any thoughts about modifying and opinions?
Thanks...

No. CWP format is binary and proprietary. I don't have knowledge to create valid CWP file.

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?

Quote from: jemakeyboards on May 27, 2023, 08:40:20 PMSee attached .spp file I use to control Cakewalk from an Arturia Keylab Mkii 61.

All functions are controlled as labelled on the keyboard with the following customizations:
- GLOBAL CONTROLS: In -> Set Loop Points to Selection
- GLOBAL CONTROLS: Out -> Set Punch Points to Selection
- TRACK CONTROLS: Read -> Enable/Bypass Read Automation - couldn't find an entry for Automation Read for the selected track
- TRACK CONTROLS: Write -> Clear all automation write enables - couldn't find an entry for Automation Write for the selected track
- JOG-WHEEL: Press -> Input Echo for selected track
- JOG-WHEEL: Turn -> Scroll track view
- CHORUS: Scale track view

These mods were done mostly due to personal preference.
I have noticed some inconsistency in the Loop button lighting. 
Otherwise, everything seems to work great!

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.

Presets / [AZ] Korg nanoKONTROL2
Last post by azslow3 - February 28, 2026, 01:58:04 PM
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.

Quote from: azslow3 on February 19, 2026, 10:22:43 AMSorry to say, but this time I suggest to read the documentation for this preset... it describes what all controls do, in each layer and with wach modifier.
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!
